绝不蒙昧的是它的排列
绝不轻佻，它的体型，体重
绝不仰仗能源，绝不体力衰竭，它的忠诚
上一代的精品这一代的古董下一代的弃物
电子原子的阴影紧紧逼来
数十年后犹自孤军奋战
力挽狂澜，企图
用沉实的声音敲醒延续的传统
全黑的珠粒在全黑的角落正闪着最后的泪光
最后，假设还有最后

Never confused or deceived in its order
Never frivolous, its size and weight
Not relying on energy, so never exhausted, trustworthy
Fine product of the past era, curiosity of the present, rejected of the future
Though electron and atom press ahead with their shadows
Still fighting alone through several decades
Stemming the tides, attempting
With its solid sound to awaken tradition
Black beads in a black corner, the last shining tears
In the end, if there is an end.

小小的小贩中心空地上
巧遇一条久违的龙在腾舞
锣声清脆，鼓声深沉
龙的实体是一串长长的五千年
小小稚儿
两岁不到即接触传统的闪现
锣声震耳，鼓声振心
眼前只见轻盈的舞动
龙的晃影是一掠短短的五分钟
此刻若我手中有佩剑
我必授你，我儿
盼你日后能够采撷龙的身姿
铸塑一支最最雄浑的
龙之舞

At the open space of this tiny hawker centre
I chanced into a long-lost dragon, at its dance
The sound of the gongs, crispy; that of the drum,
deep and dull
The physical body of the dragon, a string of
five thousand years
My little child
Less than two years old had come into contact
with the flash of tradition
The sound of the gongs, deafening; that of
the drum, heart-shaking
Before our eyes, the movement of dance,
light and graceful
The silhouette of the dragon is a shot fleeting
five-minutes
If, at this very moment, I had a sword in my hand
I would definitely teach you, my son
To hope you will pick up
the posture of the dragon
To mould into a dragon dance
at its most vigorous and heroic
