【Sing Like a Goose】

 

 

       【Sing Like a Goose】

 

 

 

                  By Jade

 

 

 

Autumn morning，52 degrees, sunny.

you fall into my sight

like a leaf, on the side of the road

your body is cold, eyes still

looking up to the sky

is your soul chasing after them?

 

 

Under the gravity of the earth 

beauty may fall at any moment,

even for creatures like you 

with angel like feathers and wings

high above everything, still

not free from uncertainty and coincidence 

a sudden swirl of wind, changed

the course of fate 

 

 

I will make a grand funeral for you,

with my tiny voice and limited means —

when people read my words

they will pause on their runners‘ road

take a deep breath, and 

start to sing, like a goose

秋天的早晨，52度，阳光明媚。

你落入我的视线

像一片叶子，躺在路边

身体已冷, 眼睛

仍然仰望蓝天

你的灵魂正在追赶它们吗？

 

 

在地球的重力下

美好事物随时可能殒落

即使像你这样的生灵

有着天使般的羽翅

飞行使你高于一切，却仍然不能超越

不定与巧合的束缚

突然吹来一股旋风

便有改变了命运的历程

 

 

我想以我微弱的声音和有限的手段

为你举行一个隆重的葬礼 —

当人们读到我的这首诗

他们会在跑步者的道路上停下来

深吸一口气，然后

像鹅一样，开始唱歌
