Tapping softly at your massive door

輕輕敲叩，剝啄妳厚重的木門

my words slip silent as mist down the long corridor

以無聲的語言如霧，行過長廊

of night’s mute end,

在寂靜的天猶未亮的夜裡

tapping for that oath

敲叩，剝啄，為夢中

we said we’d make

我們說好要履行的約定

where earth meets heaven

去到那難以抵達的天地盡頭

This corridor long and dark

暗黑的長廊，我穿越

its three thousand doors

如推開三千扇門，緜亙

open to a night of three thousand years

三千年的暗夜

My silent footsteps haunt like wind

以鬼魅般空空的腳步當風

leans daybreak’s chill against a window,

自窗外欺身，破曉冰涼

and dawn skims a statue’s marble chest

惟大理石雕像光滑的胸臀反光

On the bed, last moonlight, its arc primordial,

俯瞰洪荒一彎細細的

dapples soft embrace

月色在床，光點不斷被撫觸

both joy and sorrow

被包裹，裸露歡喜與哀愁

As if swaying in a dream or cycling through time

彷彿夢中搖擺，又像是時間遞嬗的

the first quarter moon and the last quarter moon

上弦月與下弦月交替，持續演練

dance a duet, their refrain

一些情節，今日復明日

of today become tomorrow

穿越暗黑的長廊，我是霧

Down the long deep corridor, I become fog,

而妳厚重的木門彷彿

and your great door

天地盡頭，無聲，過完此生

the silent exit from heaven and earth, from life
