我隱蔽地站在這裏

I stand concealed

像一隻海鳥在起飛前等待一隻魚。

like a gull waiting for a fish to fly.

行人揣著相同的誓言和期待

Passengers with the same oaths and expectations

在防波堤上來來去去，

come and go on the harbor wall,

歲月慢慢鼓起風帆

the years slide slowly over the sails

像雨水在不平的路面上積存。

like rainwater on a badly leveled path.

渴望的年代在地平線的另一邊終止，

The eras of longing end up beyond the horizon,

在那海邊的村莊，夜裏

in the village on the shore where at night

老婦人拿一塊方巾包裹起錢幣

an old woman hides her coins in a kerchief

她曾把它繫在頭上。

that once covered her hair.
