人生不是夢，正相反，

Life is no dream. On the contrary,

它是我們宇宙般無邊的長夢中的

it's waking from an endless

一次醒，然後我們又回到夢裏。

cosmic dream we'll soon reenter.

這就是為什麼，我們合著眼睛

That's why we come to this world

來到這世界上，為了適應光明；

eyes closed, so the light won't blind us,

又漸漸失去視力，為了再適應黑暗。

then slowly lose our vision, adapting once more

你現在醒著的形式，只是一種偶然，

to darkness. Next time around

下一次你醒來可能是小草，

you may chance to awaken

或草尖上的露珠。

as a blade of grass, or at its tip

the single bead of dew.
