I slept under   rhododendron

我睡在杜鹃花下

All night   blossoms fell

花儿落了一夜

Shivering on   a sheet of cardboard

厚纸板上我瑟瑟发抖

Feet stuck   in my pack

双脚埋进背包

Hands deep   in my pockets

双手插在衣袋里

Barely  able  to  sleep.

难以成眠。

I remembered   when we were in school

想起那时我们还在读书

Sleeping together   in a big warm bed

同睡一张温暖大床

We were   the youngest lovers

When we broke up   we were still nineteen.

分手时才十九岁。

Now our   friends are married

如今朋友们都已结婚

You teach   school back east

你回到东部教书

I dont mind   living this way

这样的生活我不会介意

Green hills   the long blue beach

青青山峦，漫长的蓝色海滩

But sometimes   sleeping in the open

可是有时露宿野外

I think back   when I had you.

我常想起有你的日子。
