蚂蚁也有眼泪

An Ant Has Tears

我在奇怪
蚂蚁到底有没有眼泪
因我从未见过蚂蚁哭泣
我奇怪为什么
可能蚂蚁没有眼泪
可能蚂蚁也有眼泪
经过了千千万万年
他的眼泪已经哭不出来了
我相信蚂蚁有眼泪
就像我相信我们都有眼泪
也许千千万万年以后
我们的眼泪也哭不出来
人与蚂蚁, 静静地
同坐在岸边

And I wonder 							
Has an ant tears?							
As I have never seen an ant cry				
And I always wonder why					

Maybe an ant has no tears					
Maybe an ant has tears						
Ten of thousand years have passed by          
He cannot cry the tears no more					

I believe ants have tears 					
As I believe we all have tears					
Maybe tens of thousands years later			
We cannot cry the tears no more 				
Man and ant, sit silent, 
On ocean shore
