Days grow only leaves, never blooming

日子光長葉，不開花

Shards of hours,

時間的碎塊，

dust of daily life,

日常生活的粉末，

grit, palpable stinks

灰塵和臭味，可觸，可聞……

Days grow only leaves, never blooming

日子光長葉，不開花

Some lives swept away by floods,

一些人被洪水捲走了，

others make the shore, change shoes,

另一些上岸換鞋，

no time to look around

就是沒工夫看一眼周圍……

Days grow only leaves, never blooming

日子光長葉，不開花

Pressed on the journey, heads bob up and down

趕路的腦袋上下錯動，

In the cart, even chickens lose their footing

平板車上的家禽站都站不穩，

Starved for oxygen, the trees’ heads ache

有一棵樹因缺氧而頭疼……

Days grow only leaves, never blooming

日子光長葉，不開花

Huge mansions going up,

造不完的大樓，

countless lights,

數不清的燈，

the moon on that billboard

夜空的廣告牌上月亮

stamped with a price

被標上價出售……

Days grow only leaves, never blooming

日子光長葉，不開花

Shards of hours,

時間的碎塊，

dust of daily life,

日常生活的粉末，

one generation shoves the next

這代人正把下一代往

toward the precipice

懸崖上推……

Days on the cliff grow only leaves,

懸崖上的日子光長葉，

never blooming

不開花。
