小鸟

Little Bird

天空太狭窄了, 我想
当我长大后，怕不够地方
让我伸展翅膀
 
我不能老是长不大 
住在小小的巢窝里
每天靠妈妈带来食物
 
我常常听到树叶的私语
枝椏桠要举臂飞翔的理论
满足它们的欲望
 
我才是真正的长有一双翅膀
长大后，为它们实现
它们实现不到的理想
			

The sky is so narrow, I think                                                 
When I grow up, I suppose  
There is no enough space for me to stretch my wings
 
I can't always be small 
to live in a small nest
Everyday, rely on mother to give my food
 
I always hear the leaves talking privately 
the theory of the branches raising their arms to fly
To satisfy their desires
 
I am sure, I really have a pair of wings
When I grow up , to achieve
The ideals that they can't accomplish
			

啄木鸟与诗人

The Woodpecker and the Poet

啄木鸟
啄着
夜的更次
 
诗人
敲着
美的藻词
 
长 
夜
漫
漫
 
啄木鸟与诗人
各有心事
 
啄着   啄着
啄木鸟
不知天边已鱼肚白
 
敲着   敲着
诗人浑然忘了
老之将至
			

The woodpecker
pecking 
Through each changing watch of the night
 
And the poet
knoking 
The beautiful words of the Poetry
 
the 
night
flows 
on
 
The woodpecker and the poet
having the different secrets in  their mind
 
Pecking, pecking
The woodpecker
not to see the whitish color
Of the fish's belly appear on the horizon 
 
Knocking, knocking
The poet forgets that
He is already growing old 
			

孔雀的心事

Something Weighs on a Peacock's Mind

你以千眸  迎我
我也回以  千眸
 
这心事
唯有自己知道
 
毕竟  你是过路人
也不会永远停留
 
当你离去的时候
盼望你会频频回首
 
开屏
只是我一时的羞赧
			

You greet me with a thousand of  stares
And I return a thousand stares to you
 
Something weighs on my mind
I alone am to know
 
After all, you are a passer-by 
Not to stay here perpetually
 
When you leave here
I expect you turn back to look again and again 
 
I spread my tail
Merely of shyness for a short while
			

鸟语

Bird's Chirps

啊  提灯人
你的愿望  走到黑夜的尽头
 
而我的愿望
跨过整片晴空
 
有黑暗的地方
就有你的足足迹
 
有光的地方
就有我的翅膀
 
啊  你可穿过黑暗
我可飞越光明
			

Oh ! a lantern man
Your desire is to walk over the end of darkness
 
And my desire 
To bestride over the whole sky
 
Where is the dark   
And where are your footmarks 
 
Where is the light
And where are my wings 
 
Oh ! you can  walk through the darkness
And I can fly over the sky
