黄楝

[黄楝诗选]

Expectancy

黄楝 原诗 黄楝 英译

We stand in silence

And listen to the twittering spring rain

All our moods turns to a posture

Bearing mutual understanding

Neither of us want to make that statement

The Time is in a daze But at last

Your vague face with only slight melancholy

In my eyes Transforms to fluttering hair

Which paint the sky black

But I shed no tears

Really

Long before today I knew you would leave

'cause you said you were a cloud

The wind starts to blow

The flapping withered leaves be my heart

And I can no longer imagine how

I sang love songs in green keys before

The expectancy tide always floods in the early morn

weary and drowsy at noontime

Pillow on all I'm thinking of

And hear the cicadas laugh at me

saying silly, silly

The whole afternoon is a dreaming-of-you

The dusk is most beautiful

The setting Sun is as shy as a bride

Tacit night hangs that aged signboard

The pandemoniac lamplight gushes toward me

and sightsees the musing me

All the nights I miss you

Are sleepless nights

It is quiet and quiet all around

As if I'm the only one existing in the universe

The Sun's signs behind the black curtain

Are also heard distinctively

Autumn insects burst into chirping

Exclaiming to be lonely

My heartbeats call a name

A name

And a face with only slight melancholy

Keep on harassing my sleepiness

The night is gradually fading away

The chirping of the insects comes from afar

It's the beginning of another day

Where do you now stay?
