日子光長葉，不開花

Days grow only leaves, never blooming

時間的碎塊，

Shards of hours,

日常生活的粉末，

dust of daily life,

灰塵和臭味，可觸，可聞……

grit, palpable stinks

日子光長葉，不開花

Days grow only leaves, never blooming

一些人被洪水捲走了，

Some lives swept away by floods,

另一些上岸換鞋，

others make the shore, change shoes,

就是沒工夫看一眼周圍……

no time to look around

日子光長葉，不開花

Days grow only leaves, never blooming

趕路的腦袋上下錯動，

Pressed on the journey, heads bob up and down

平板車上的家禽站都站不穩，

In the cart, even chickens lose their footing

有一棵樹因缺氧而頭疼……

Starved for oxygen, the trees’ heads ache

日子光長葉，不開花

Days grow only leaves, never blooming

造不完的大樓，

Huge mansions going up,

數不清的燈，

countless lights,

夜空的廣告牌上月亮

the moon on that billboard

被標上價出售……

stamped with a price

日子光長葉，不開花

Days grow only leaves, never blooming

時間的碎塊，

Shards of hours,

日常生活的粉末，

dust of daily life,

這代人正把下一代往

one generation shoves the next

懸崖上推……

toward the precipice

懸崖上的日子光長葉，

Days on the cliff grow only leaves,

不開花。

never blooming
