荷塘上的殘枝敗梗為我們保留了忠實，

On the lotus pond, weathered stems keep faith for us.

一片葉子，滿含眷戀飄向大地。

One leaf, heavy with memory, drifts toward earth.

大地，變成一個人淒苦的腳步聲……

The great globe shrinks to our miserable footfalls

為我們保留了壓迫下的夢。

over a buried dream.

白茫茫的寒冷攥緊了雙眼，

Vast white cold freezes the gaze

為我們保留了勇敢！

but carries our courage.

灰色的鐵索橋，

Beneath a sky of mounting birds the iron chain bridge

用它上空的飛鳥為我們保留了愛！

bears its grey affection.

一縷投在運河上的光

A single lightbeam spans the canal,

為我們保留了繼續！

joining the near bank with the far.
