明月高悬
The Moon High In The Sky
文/东方风
By Dongfang Feng
站那么高,眼睁得那么大
看见夜幕里发生什么
Standing so high with eyes so wide open
Just for seeing what in the night happens?
人间那些事,亘古如此
From ancient times to the present
all things in the world just as they are happen
夜这等暗,你的明亮
无非增添人们仰望之苦
So dark the night is
your brightness is
nothing but
to add to the misery of looking up
日出日落
Sunrise & Sunset
一颗巨星燃尽生命,照亮世界
到落幕,在历史的天空也是瞬间
To setting from lighting up the world
The time for a giant star is just a minute in the history of the universe
面对黑夜降临人们并不惊恐
因为他们相信,会有另一颗巨星
从东方再度升起
As night falls, people are not afraid at all
cause they believe that there would be another star
to rise in the east as well
繁星点点
Star-studded Sky
倒过来看,我的位置在高处
那些星星就是沉溺的生命
露出头,在茫茫的深渊里寻找岸
When looking at upside down the star-studded sky
I’m on the higher side
While those stars are just like
Near-drowning lives
searching for the bank in the vast gulf
with head the water above
或许
这就是人们喜欢望星空的缘故吧
Maybe that’s why
people enjoy looking at the star-studded sky
