Bellagio

Bellagio

所有的诗都融化在水里
当彼岸的音乐
缓缓地沿着湖面滑动
涟漪柔软
如草地上的月光

天使从夜的唇上醒来，
湖水站起，
以千种优雅
将自己装扮成
万朵百合
徐徐绽放
并于姹紫嫣红的瞬间
凋谢

完美的夜
水死在它的梦幻里

黑暗，光的尸体
在水上沉浮
			

All poems melt in the water
while the music from the other shore
slides across the surface of the lake 
where ripples soft as
the moonlight on the grass.

The angel wakes up from
the lip of the night.
Standing up,
the water pretends itself
to be thousands of lilies—
slowly bloom and
wither at the moment of its
splendor.

Perfect night
The water dies in its fantasy

Darkness, corpse of the light
floating on the water
