太空的星辰  

                   

肅穆的午夜的太空

有無數顆星星

在音樂的旋律下

各自循行著他們的軌跡

放射出強與弱的不同的光彩

表現其自我的形態

 

  是太空裡的一顆不可揣摩的行星

神秘地出現於

這遼闊而深邃的宇宙空間之彼端

 

  有我自己的聲音

  有我自己的形態

  有我自己的軌跡

  有我自己的光彩

                          

我遠遠地馳騁在我的陰黯的軌道上

我靜靜地投射我的光與影於宇宙的星羣

我永遠唱我自己的歌

走我自己的路

Stars

                   

In the silent midnight sky                          

Countless stars

Are following the rhythm of a melody

Moving along their tracks

Shining their different lights

Some strong, some weak

And each one trying to show its best

 

I am a mysterious star in the sky

Who is appearing

On the other side of the unbound universe

           

I have my own voice

I have my own form

I have my own trail

I have my own glory

                          

Far away, I run on my own obscure track

I quietly cast my light and shadow on the universe

I will sing my own songs

And go my own way
