我来领会你的声音，

I have come to catch your voice,

你构思的音符，在喉口翻涌，

Your constructed notes going out of the throat

干涩呆板的手势，

With dry, mechanical gestures,

赶上这束光，

To catch the shaft

尽管如此的直接而决然；

Although it is so straight and unbending;

然后，当我开口亮嗓，

Then, when I open my mouth,

光就会进来，成一条坚定的直线。

The light will come in an unwavering line.

随后赶上夜晚，

Then to catch night

展开凶猛的翅翼，涉水蹚过她黑暗的洞穴。

Wading through her dark cave on ferocious wings.

哦，鹰嘴，

Oh, eagle-mouthed,

我来拔下你，

I have come to pluck you,

拔走你外来的羽毛，

And take away your exotic plumage,

尽管你的愤怒不是件小事，

Although your anger is not a slight thing,

带你进入我的领地，

Take you into my own place

那里不见霜降，

Where the frost can never fall,

更不见一片花瓣落下。

Nor the petals of any flower drop.
