哑冬

Mute Winter

哑的村庄，哑的荒凉大道
之后就能看见哑的人

我们坐在牛车上，要经过桑多河
赶车的老人，他浑浊之眼里暗藏着风雪

河谷里的水早已停止流动
它拒绝讲述荣辱往昔

雪飘起来了
寒冷促使我们越来越快地趋向沉默

仿佛桑多河谷趋向巨大的宁静
			

After passing the mute village, mute and deserted avenue
You'll see the mute folks

We're sitting in the cow-driven cart, bound to cross Sanduo River
Snow storm is hidden in the turbid eyes of the old driver man

Water in the valley has long stopped running
It refuses to tell the glorious and humiliating past

Snow is drifting
Cold forces us to keep quiet ever faster
As if Sanduo River goes into an enormous serenity
