在四顾茫茫的雪地
一个人踽踽独行
没有风，也无鸟啼
唯有雪的宁静
我闯入一片林里
只听到自己的跫音
车声已远在天际
我有颗不竞的心
回头所能看见
一径鸿爪般的脚印
这些能否留到明天
谁也不能肯定
也没有什么理由
踏上这一条僻径
现在，已快到尽头
无悔，靠一点自信

Walking in a vast, snowy field
I was alone and moving slow
No wind, not even a crying bird
There’s only the quiet snow
Then I intruded into a piece of woods
Only my footfalls echoed behind
Traffic noises were far over the horizon
Unstirred, I kept my peace of mind
Looking backward all I could see
Was a track of footprints left by me
Whether they could last for tomorrow
Surely no one could foresee
Nor was there any good reason, why
I should take this secluded course
Now, it seems to be coming to an end
No remorse, I have some confidence

紫丁香在园中盛开
一年一度的企盼
那暗香飘走我的构思
撩人的还有她的色彩
一簇簇细致的十字星
紫红色平添浪漫的气氛
仅仅也只有这么几天
色褪了还要等到明年
春天为何要向人挑战
这么短暂，却这么姣好
我不怕自己将垂垂老去
只惋惜看花的日子更少

The lilac in my garden is in full bloom
It is my annual and joyful expectation
Her aroma is luring away my thoughts
And her color radiates enchanting attraction
The flower has many clusters of fine crosses
The purple hue adds a romantic atmosphere
Yet, all of these will last only a day or two
After fading, it won’t be back for another year
So splendid a season yet it is so short
Why should you challenge us, oh, spring
I am not afraid of getting older and older
Only moan my lesser dates for flower watching
