慢下来

Slow Down

慢下来，让秦朝的那滴雨水 
从咸阳的屋顶开始落下， 
此刻荆轲的刺图还没有展开。
 
慢下来，让湘妃的那颗泪珠 
还来不及凝结，斑竹的血渍， 
苍梧的暮色，都只是梦域的迷失。

慢下来，母亲的煤油灯还没有点亮， 
慢下来，父亲还没有开始准备行囊， 
慢下来，让一切都慢下来。
 
柳树上的蝉声，暮色中老牛的脚步， 
再慢一点，我要把它们全部藏进画卷， 
小脚的奶奶正抱着我坐在门前。
 
慢下来，宁愿我还没有到岸， 
时光啊，请慢下来！ 
我刚来到这里，就要离开！
			

Slow down, and give the raindrop from Qing Dynasty a twinkling 
To fall from the eaves of Xianyang 
Before Jin Ke unfold his picture scroll that had enveloped the dagger

Slow down, before the tear from Goddess of Xiang River  
Freeze and speckle the mottled bamboo
You know, the deepening hues of dusk are nothing but lost realms of dreams

Slow down, mother's oil-lamp is yet to be lit up
Slow down, father's luggage is yet to be packed up
Slow down, let's make everything slow down

Make voice of cicadas in the willows, and footsteps of the buffalos
To slow down a little, to give me enough time to place them all in a scroll
My bound-feet grandma, holds me in her arms, and sits in front of the house

Slow down, I'd rather not go to shore so early 
Slow down, fleeting time! 
Why must I leave here when I have just arrived?
