遇上暴雨深處的紫霧

In this purple fog amid a rainstorm,

遇上這一刻

in this moment,

我越過你的肩頭，看見

I see past your shoulder

潔白的人潮滾滾而來

a coming tidal wave of people.

哦船，你的船

Oh boat, your boat

浮在千百萬細小的漩渦上

adrift on millions of small eddies

電之海上，航行，遠離

in an ocean of electrons, sailing

遠離任何稱之為岸的方向

far from known shores.

親愛的，看這昏澹天色多美

Sweetheart, how fine this faint and tranquil colored sky,

那樣輕輕、輕輕

let down so soft upon your shoulders.

撲上你的雙肩

We breathe the world’s toxic mist,

我們呼吸世界的毒霧

disdaining the search for dawns.

並不屑于尋找一絲黎明

On my chest I pin the star 

我在胸口別了一枚星

that falls with yours.

同你一起墜落

The tide of people suddenly arrives, 

潔白的人潮倏忽而至

suddenly recedes, gone like ghosts

又紛披、如鬼魅而去

to their pure and innocent world.

去他們潔白而無辜的世界

Yet in the storm, with our small laughter, we’re remote

而我們在暴雨、輕笑間遠離

from cosmic dust, earth dust. Dense fog shrouds anything

星屑。微塵。濃霧遮蔽一切

unwilling to speak its brightness.

不肯道出那明亮
