Silence stirs the breeze. Rivers
寂靜製造了風,河流在泥土中延續
extend themselves across the earth.
一個又一個落日哺育灰色的屋宇
Once more grey rooftops suckle sunset,
它的空洞有著熾烈的過去
at its core a blazing past.
在每一個積滿塵土的蓄水池
Before dawn, dust-filled reservoirs
有黎明前的長嘆和平息之後的火焰
exhale, aglow in silence.
我開口,卻已沒有歌謠
I open my mouth, no ballads.
初春的明鏡,早已碎在揉皺的地圖上
Bright mirror of early spring
如果我還能低聲歌唱
fractured on a crumpled map.
是因為確信煙塵也能永恆,愁苦的面容
If I can sing still, softly,
感到被死亡珍惜的擁抱。
it’s because smoke, I believe,
perpetuates, these worried faces
revering death’s embrace.
