離
註定了今生分離
就不必去多言巧語
再把緣由粉飾一次
那美麗的巧遇
任何辭藻都無法代替
你最好悄悄離去
別用浮華遮掩心虛
我會用手慢慢撕去
那漸薄的日曆
讓淒美回憶定格煦麗
倘若你路過故地
即使雷雨淒厲
或是大雪紛飛夜裡
我仍會去迎接你
只因為
只因為曾經的一次巧遇
舉杯和你一飲而盡時
別掀碰那泛黃舊曆
怕淚浸破如翼薄頁
只因為
只因為那塵封紙曆下
還珍藏著
珍藏著那巧遇的故事
29.
Separation
Separation is unavoidable in
this life
Neither to explain by any clever
words
Nor to cover whatever reasons
For such beautiful encounter
There is no substitute by any
utterance
You'd better go away quietly
Don’t use vanity to cover
civility
I will tear off the calendar
pages slowly
Let the grievous memories
Freeze in the sunlight’s
treasuries
In case if you’re passing the
old sights
Even in the heavy, snowy nights
Or under torrential thunderstorm
For sure, I will come to greet
you warmly
Just because
Just because the unexpected
encounter
When I raise a cup toast to you
Please don’t touch that old
yellow calendar
Afraid a tear drop might tear
the thin paper
Just because
Just because beneath the old
dusty calendar
It still treasures the dramatic
story
Of the coincidence in vivid
glory
