也許

也許你真是哭得太累也許 也許你要睡一睡那麼叫夜鷹不要咳嗽蛙不要號 蝙蝠不要飛

不許陽光撥你的眼簾不許清風刷上你的眉無論誰都不能驚醒你撐一傘松蔭庇護你睡

也許你聽這蚯蚓翻泥聽這小草的根鬚吸水也許你聽這般的音樂比那咒罵的人聲更美

那麼你先把眼皮閉緊我就讓你睡 我讓你睡我把黃土輕輕蓋著你我叫紙錢兒緩緩的飛

慈母手中線

月掛星空照亮天邊晚空月正當空邁向天際故鄉等一等讓我高歌一曲歌聲托月送返家鄉再唱

浪送輕舟別去海灣故鄉浪半翻湧像我思緒重重等一等浪裡彷彿聽到當天的我在那家鄉晚唱

慈母手中線 ( 一針的一針的穿 )留下心中暖 ( 一絲的一絲的暖 )孩兒此去後孤身浮雲萬里征浮雲落日遊子心聲不知那日家鄉再返

面對青山橫北郭 白水繞東城此去後孤身孩兒萬里征誰言寸草心能報三春暉 此際朗月高掛獨對星空無限追憶無限思鄉無限掛念

可否讓我高歌一曲彷似昨日在那家鄉晚唱

慈母手中線 ( 一針的一針的穿 )孩兒永緊記 ( 慈母一針的一針的穿 )孩兒此去後孤身萬里征

錯過

不知怎應對 飄忽的愛侶不知怎去拉近差距 你想着誰相戀的證據 不知不覺歸於心碎心裏輕輕的說一句 ( 唉）別捱下去

放心放鬆 讓我做我換我做冠軍有錯麼送花再多 亦拒絕過換我任性不羈也不錯 給他上一課

花光心血 你不會知獨個在交戰不需心軟 我都看穿我聽說女人善變

勸你若要愛我愛我別再錯過世界不稀罕 遲來還不會認錯若待慢現實 不體恤悽楚末日後才自覺未疼惜 悔不當初

痛過恨過怨過 已厭倦了對錯你我的心魔 如何能一語道破悶局是絕望 空虛的心窩熟練地陪着我像最初 難道我倆沒快樂過

Maybe You Have Grown Weary of Crying

Maybe you have grown weary of cryingMaybe - maybe you should get some sleepWell then, I will ask the owls not to coughThe frogs not to croak, and the bats not to fly off

I will not let the sunlight reach your eyelidsI will not let the breeze brush your eyebrowsNo one will wake you from your sweet dreamsI will plant a pine - an umbrella shield -For you to sleep underneath

Maybe you will like the sound of worms churning the soilOr that of grass-roots softly taking in waterMaybe, this music you hear is more beautifulThan the quarrels and curses of man’s world

Well then, shut both of your eyes tightAnd I shall let you sleep - I shall let you sleepI will lightly cover you with earthAnd let the banknotes of the underworld fly slowly

As the Kind Mother Sews

The moon, hovering in the starry sky, lights up the corner of the night skyThe moon, hovering above the sky, is slowly setting towards my hometown over the horizonWait for a moment, allow me to sing a high songPerhaps the Moon will carry my song and send it back home and sing it once more

The waves carry this little boat along, departing my hometown by the bayThe unsteady waves, half tossing and rushing, just like the many waves of thought tossing in my mindWait, back home, I seem to faintly hear in the wavesA song that I once sang

A gentle mother threads in her hands (one thread after another)Knitted behind the warmth of her heart (one thread to the next, knitting warmly)This child, after the goodbye, will travel like drifting clouds, a thousand miles to conquerDrifting clouds and the setting sun are the inner voices of a sojournerDon’t know when I will return home

(Translations are all provided by the composers/arrangers unless otherwise specified) Now facing mountains of green laying across the northern horizonRiver of white winding around the eastern cityOnce departed, this child will be alone, a thousand miles to conquerA stem of grass, mere inches tall, how could it ever repay the warmth given by the sun’s ray in the SpringAt this very moment, the moon is highAlone gazing at the stars chasing a thousand thoughtsand memories in the mindA thousand thoughts go homewards, a thousand thoughts turn homewards

Is it possible, allow me to sing a high songJust like yesterday, when we sang once upon a night in the village home

The gentle mother, the threads in her hand (knitting one thread to the next)This child will never forget (The gentle mother knitting one thread to the next)Once departed, alone, a thousand miles to conquer

Passed Opportunity

I can’t realise, How to sympathiseI’m unable to close our difference. Who’s on your mind?It’s no big surprise,that our love has all vaporisedHeaven knows how hard I’ve tried… (sigh) I’ll survive

Let go, let it flow, let me be meNow it’s sure my turn to be freeTime to reject, time to selectHe’ll wake up and understand, who’s in command

What’s gone to waste, who even knowsLove’s such a tormentTime to be tough, that’s how it goes:“La donna è mobile!”

Trust me, if you love me, say it or so it beToo late, and I’m gone, the world could only agreeIf you won’t take me, hold me, care for meAt the end of the day, it’s too late, that you’ll see

Love me if you trust me, it’s easy as can beMind you, mind the gap, who’s here to take the first stepWe’ve reached a dead end, I don’t comprehendWhy can’t we just recall like before, have we not been in love at all?

Egrets Flying Around the Xisai Mountain

Bringing my blue bamboo hat I travel around in my green straw cloak The howling wind and drizzle shall not send me home

Shimmering Moon

豆芽國

微暖陽光喜歡聽唱歌雲端小豆芽國青苗彷似幼嫩柔軟泥土如父母豆苗高懸掛彩虹當中有個是我

旋律似階梯上落迴盪同來和幻化更多好比編織美夢

童年的我學高歌綿綿樹蔭在結果奮鬥多年可知道如何淋細雨越風波童年的我用這歌答謝前人決心掌舵用渺小換最多

強壯成長雲上國樹留香常在分享明朗晴空畫滿音調悠揚任鳥歌，就如我，加上我更多

一起雲上再衝 ( 一起編織美夢 )

童年的我學高歌綿綿樹蔭在結果奮鬥多年可知道如何難處繼續衝破童年的我用這歌答謝前人來成就我點上傳萬世的火一切愉悅奇妙成果都給予我

如果可以

如果可以我想和小鳥借翅膀在天空自由自在的翱翔如果可以我想和獵豹借雙腳在原野盡情的暢快奔跑如果可以我想和鯨魚借尾巴在遼闊的海洋中恣意游泳如果可以我要帶著一顆勇於探險的心探索萬千世界的美麗

Magical Beanland

The warming sun likes listening to singingThe beans, from the small magical beanland beyond the clouds, are young and greenThe soft soil, taking the parents’ roles, nurtures the beansOne of them, among the rainbow, is me

Ups and downs of melodies resemble the climbing of laddersAnd with harmonies come even more magical changesAs wonderful as weaving sweet dreams

I learnt singing as a childBearing fruits under the shadows of treesStriving to learn to cope with rain and storms for yearsI used this song as a childTo thank my predecessors’ for taking the helmMaking the most out of tiny details

Growing with strength on the kingdom above the clouds the trees always share their wisdom by their fragranceThe bright sky is filled with soaring melodiesLet the birds sing as I do, and I join them for more

Let us run above the clouds together(Let us weave sweet dreams together)

I learnt singing as a childBearing fruits under the shadows of treesStriving to overcome hardships continuously for yearsI used this song as a childTo thank my predecessors’ for shaping me into who I amTo light the fire that passes through thousands of generationsWith all joyful and marvelous accomplishments granted to me

- English translation by Dominic Lam

If possible

If possibleI wish to borrow a pair of wings from a birdTo fly in the sky freelyIf possibleI wish to borrow the legs from a leopardTo run in the plain as fast as I canIf possibleI wish to borrow the tail from a whaleTo swim in the large oceanIf possibleI wish to have a brave heartTo explore every kind of beauty on earth

III. 秋 - 採桑子·書博山道中壁

少年不識愁滋味愛上層樓愛上層樓為賦新詞強說愁

而今識盡愁滋味欲說還休欲說還休却道天涼好個秋

IV. 冬 - 賀新郎·把酒長亭說

把酒長亭說看淵明 風流酷似 臥龍諸葛何處飛來林間鵲蹙踏鬆梢微雪要破帽多添華髮剩水殘山無態度被疏梅料理成風月兩三雁 也蕭瑟

佳人重約還輕別悵清江天寒不渡水深冰合路斷車輪生四角此地行人銷骨問誰使 君來愁絕鑄就而今相思錯料當初 費盡人間鐵長夜笛莫吹裂

III. Autumn - Of Grief and Autumn

In youth I knew nothing of the taste of sorrowI liked to mount the storied towersI liked to mount the storied towersTo conjure up a bit of sorrow to make new verse

Now I know only too well the taste of sorrowI start to speak yet pauseI start to speak yet pauseAnd say instead, “My, what a cool and lovely autumn”

IV. Winter - Yearning in the Midst of Snow

Toasting goodbye at the rest pavilion by the roadsideYou are like the admirable Yuan-ming and Zhuge LiangAll of a sudden a magpie perched upon a pine treeFlicking off the lingering snowflakes from its branchFalling upon us it seems to add to our greying hairSnow-covered, the landscape is deprived of its lifeInterspersed with nothing but a few plum treesTwo or three wild geese make it look all the bleaker

You came as you promised, but you leave too soonWith sadness I’ve rushed over to see you offBraving the cold weather that freezes the riverAlas, it was nearly impossible to get acrossWheels on the impassible road became blockedWith cold wind sending a chill along my spineWhy am I feeling so grieved and so sorrowfulBecause I regret letting you go in the first placeAs if I had folded a huge mistake with all the iron ore in the worldThe whining wail of a flute in the nightWill not, as I wish, tear out my heart

辛詞四季

I. 春 - 青玉案·元夕

東風夜放花千樹更吹落 星如雨寶馬雕車香滿路鳳簫聲動 玉壺光轉一夜魚龍舞

蛾兒雪柳黃金縷笑語盈盈暗香去衆裏尋他千百度驀然回首 那人卻在 燈火闌珊處

II. 夏 - 西江月·夜行黃沙道中

明月別枝驚鵲清風半夜鳴蟬稻花香裏說豐年聽取蛙聲一片

七八個星天外兩三點雨山前舊時茅店社林邊路轉溪頭忽見

A Poet’s Four Seasons

I. Spring - The Lantern Festival

One night’s wind made a thousand trees burst into flowerAnd breath down still more showers of fallen starsSplendid horses, carved carriages, fragrance filled the roadMusic resounded from paired flutesLight swirled on water-clock towers

Gold-threaded jacket, moth- or willow-shaped hair ornamentsMelted into the throng, giggling, a trail of scentsIn the crowd I looked for her a thousand timesAnd all at once, as I turned my head, I was startled to find herAmong the lanterns where the candles were growing dim

II. Summer - A Midsummer Night’s Walk

A bright moon frightens magpies on the boughCicadas shrill cool at midnightA whiff of these fields you can tell a good cropEvery frog croaks loud for the harvest

On the horizon, seven, eight starsTwo or three drops of rain on the hillThatched inn next to the village god’s houseRound the corner the old bridge still here

也斯說

I. 白日

池中的白日越來越明亮 浮雲在枯草和浮萍下面緩緩移過 嶙峋的石塊看著倒影擁抱自己越來越陰暗一陣風吹過

樹折斷了橋起了波紋所有的顏色閃爍不定只有白日依舊明亮 甚至給流走的枯葉帶著點點白光遠去

Says Yasi

I. White Sun

The white sun on the pondBrightens and brightens

Clouds floatingThrough dried grasses and duckweedUnhurryingPass

Rugged bouldersCatch their own reflectionsEmbracing themselvesMore and more shadowed.A gustRises

The treesRefracting in myriad piecesThe bridge, tooRipplingAndHuesPolychromeAnd shimmeringOnly this white sunIs brighter than everMaking a gift to the fallen leavesOf sparkling as they drift away in light

- English translation by Gordon T. Osing and Leung Ping-Kwan, published in City at the End of Time

(Hong Kong University Press: 2012)

II. Rise Not

Several windows reflect the lightOf an unrisen sunOn our forms as we innocently awaitTo cross the thoroughfareA number of happy facesThat are not yet under the sun

From a sign that has lunch written on itI lift my head and see far away from meOn the gradually whitening sandy groundA clear shadow that is not at all dustyShifting towards mePeople of a similar nature move between riverbanksAlready swimming backThey see those (images) Which have not yet become the sun

- English translation by John Winzenburg

III. Old City Space

You always know how to survive harsh conditionsCarving a multifarious world within closed quartersCreating an open space where there is no courtyardA garden on the tin roof where this is no earthThe foothold may not be firm, but for all the yearsYou constantly build around you a place to rest

Be it iron cage or Serene Court, the names don’t matchThe outside is the inside (and you have the ocean in a small fridge)Scattered tables and chairs of foodstalls block all paths to serenityAll day long, mobile hawkers take care of appetites along the laneCanvas cots put together at night shape our daily secretsStretching in limited space, future plants grow from bottles and cans

- English translation by Leung Ping-Kwan, Kit Kelen, Debby Sou Vai Keng, Chris Song Zijiang and

Iris Fan Xing of the “Association of Stories in Macao”

II. 未昇

幾扇窗子反照著未昇的太陽在我們清白的等待中成形走過街衢某些歡悅的臉孔尚未在太陽之下 一塊寫著午餐的牌子我抬頭看見我遠離沙地上逐漸的白毫無塵埃的清晣的影子移向我木質的河床走著同樣的人泅泳者經已歸來他看見那些尚未成為太陽的

III. 舊市空間

總是知道怎樣應付空間苛刻的待遇在方寸裏雕鏤繽紛大千世界在沒有院子的地方發展了天台沒有泥土的鐵皮屋背種植花園立足的地點雖然不夠牢固 隨時在上下左右搭起多年的寢室

是鐵籠還是靜軒名實老是移換不符 泯滅了內外的界線狹小的(冰箱裏有海洋) 後門前門大排檔枱櫈阻礙曲徑通幽 流動小販整天 ( 照顧大街小巷的胃口 ) 朝拆晚行的杋布床是我們秘密的形狀 有限的空間裏舒伸瓶罐中長出樹苗
