THE NEW-BORN YEAR

They toast as usual

Singing farewell song

Sadly to a year gone

With the oath set seriously along

 

Then they turn around

Screaming cheerfully

When new resolutions

rise from Champagne bubbles

to become

Colorful balloons

floating in the air         

 

新年

  非馬 

正零時                          

他們照例對著酒杯          

唱依依的驪歌              

黯然送走                  

一年前鄭重立下的誓願       

 

然後轉過身來              

齊聲歡呼                  

當新的決心                

自脫胎換骨的香檳酒裡      

源源冒出                  

成為                      

飄滿空中                   

五彩繽紛的氣球
