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

荷塘上的殘枝敗梗為我們保留了忠實，

One leaf, heavy with memory, drifts toward earth.

一片葉子，滿含眷戀飄向大地。

The great globe shrinks to our miserable footfalls

大地，變成一個人淒苦的腳步聲……

over a buried dream.

為我們保留了壓迫下的夢。

Vast white cold freezes the gaze

白茫茫的寒冷攥緊了雙眼，

but carries our courage.

為我們保留了勇敢！

Beneath a sky of mounting birds the iron chain bridge

灰色的鐵索橋，

bears its grey affection.

用它上空的飛鳥為我們保留了愛！

A single lightbeam spans the canal,

一縷投在運河上的光

joining the near bank with the far.

為我們保留了繼續！
