黄楝 原诗 黄楝 英译

1

My heart is empty

Expecting to be filled with your love

2

I came from a world

Bringing with me queries and doubts

I head for another world

Bringing with me pities and regrets

3

Your love for me is like the stars

My love for you is like the boundless sky

They only see stars twinkling

But ignore the existence of the sky

4

Both the moon in the sky

And the moon in the water

Are within sight but beyond reach

5

You should follow me not

When I pursue the Sun now setting

The newborn Moon's expecting

To enjoy your chanting

6

The world asks me

How come you wanna be a poet

I answer

'cause I'm a devoting lover of the world

7

Dusk

The Sky has a red cheek of anxiety

when she urges in vain

The departing Sun to stay

But people are praising in clicking tongues

The affection that the Sun

Has endowed the Sky upon

8

When the flowers have piously processed

Their sacirficial ritual

And hold their offerings high above

The bees fly over to them

9

When is your heyday

The Sun asks the Sky

The Sky answers

It's the time you brightly shine

The Sun asks the Sky again

Then when is my heyday

The Sun answers

It ' s the time I occur with clear blue dye

10

Between the land and the sky

The crescent and the sun

Form a permanent question mark

Telling :THE WORLD IS A PUZZLE

11

Like a flower-bud in initial blossom

On a snowy day

Your smile

Is suggesting the arrival of a spring

12

The God endows upon the human beings he created

with his defects

And make them reproach each other

While prostrating themselves in whorship

Of the perfect God

13

I've woven a wreath

To the expired Yesterday

with flowers of hope

14

Joys of life mainly involve

The pursue of the aims of life

The glamour of truth

Exists not in its validity

But the hopes it promises

15

All the faults some people have

In their lives

Lie in the fact that

They take beautiful dreams as reality

16

When I depart this world

III leave my songs behind

And take with me the love I've possessed
