今年6月,儿子跟随了11年、女儿跟随了6年的钢琴老师退休,一天看到儿子拍摄的家中的钢琴照片,有些感觉,就写下了这首诗。后来请儿子把这首诗翻译成了英文,见中文诗后面。
黑与白:无限延伸的旋律 椰籽
你是这样黑与白的分明 分明如白天与黑夜的眼睛 你是这样黑与白的分明 两个琴键,跨尽世界的变幻 在这紧凑的结构里 你用严谨演绎出浪漫 在这紧凑的结构里 你用数学抛弃了刻板 你在黑与白的格子里 柔柔地走 激烈地跳跃 发狂般地呐喊 轻轻地哭泣 你敲打着每一个人的心房 时重、 时轻 你用似乎不可能的音符 表现出了可能的全部 你用看似简单的搭配 画出了复杂或简洁的思路 如线、如丝 把心缠得流出洁净的泪珠儿 在黑与白的世界里 忘记时间、忘记现实 只要能有忘记尘世的一刻 你就沉浸其中高高飞翔不要犹豫 在黑与白的世界里 你用心走过了岁月远离了轻佻 远离了肤浅靠近了大气 在黑与白的世界里 你与音乐家用心对话你变得深刻 敏感、动情、敏捷、迅速 你把自己练成了美丽的塑像 在黑与白的琴键上 岁月的痕迹不声不响 流年的河水缓缓如行板 这黑与白其实就是岁月 就是生命的颜色最终的沉淀 在黑与白的琴键上 演奏的是初学者的稚拙 少年的狂妄 青年的健美以及技巧的成熟 人生的历练在你的琴键里也有痕迹 在黑与白的琴键上 是让语言显得苍白的那种情感 是精神交流的一个个瞬间的定格 的那种味道那种凝练 今天当我看到你摄影的黑与白 我心里的泪缓缓流出 在黑与白照出的音乐镜子里 我看到了你成长的足迹 一步、一步 一点、 一点 它浓缩了所有的语言 所有的情感

Black and White: Limitless Rhythms By Ye zi Translator: Niu Niu You, with clarity of black and white Clear as the contrast between day and night You, with clarity of black and white Clear as the contrast between the poles of the world
In this compacted structure Your discipline gives rise to romance In this compacted structure Your precision rids us of blandness In your expanses of black and white We walk tranquilly We leap for joy We scream as if mad We weep softly You beat against everyone’s hearts Hard at times, soft at times You using seemingly impossible notes Express all that is possible You, using seemingly simple combinations Create complex or clean messages Like string, like silk Squeezing the pure essence from our hearts In the world of black and white Forgetting time, forgetting reality As long as we can forget the world for a moment You can soar carefree In the world of black and white Your heart has crossed time, left the naive Leaving the shallow and approaching the deep In the world of black and white You converse with the greats Becoming sensitive, emotional, and memorable You become like a beautiful sculpture On the keys of black and white The mark of the ages is unseen The river of time flows smoothly across Black and white, the symbol of time The finale of all of life’s colors On the keys of black and white We see the innocence of beginners We see the spontaneity of adolescence We see the skill power of flourishing youth The progression of life can be seen on your keys On the keys of black and white Words seem empty We communicate with something greater, even if for split seconds Something you can feel and understand in your soul This day, when I see your shots of black and white The tears of my heart come slowly In the mirror of music, of black and white I see the steps of your growth Step by step Little by little It encompasses all language All feelings 6/14/2013
