and I feel the freedom of passing away.

我灵魂的忧伤是新娘的面纱,

等候着在午夜被掀开。

The sadness of my soul is her bride’ s veil.

It waits to be lifted in the night.

死之烙印将价值赋予生之硬币,

使其可以用生命来购买那些真正宝贵的东西。

Death’s stamp gives value to the coin of life;

making it possible to buy with life what is truly precious.

白云谦逊地站在天之一隅。

晨光冠之以辉煌。

The cloud stood humbly in a corner of the sky.

The morning crowned it with splendour.

泥土饱受侮辱,却以花朵作为回报。

The dust receives insult and in return offers her flowers.

尽管走过去,不必为了采集花朵而徘徊,

因为美丽的花儿会一路开放。

Do not linger to gather flowers to keep them, but walk on,

for flowers will keep themselves blooming all your way.

根是地下的枝。

枝是空中的根。

Roots are the branches down in the earth.

Branches are roots in the air.

逝去了的夏之曲,飘摇在秋间,

寻求它旧日的巢。

The music of the far-away summer flutters around the autumn seeking its former nest.

不要把你口袋里的功绩借给你的朋友,这会侮辱他。

Do not insult your friend by lending him merits from your own pocket.

那在无名之日里的感触,牵系我心,

宛如绿色的苔藓,缠绕着老树。

The touch of the nameless days clings to my heart

like mosses round the old tree.

回声讥笑她的原声,借以证明她是原声。

The echo mocks her origin to prove she is the original.

当事业有成者自吹得到了上帝的特别恩宠时,上帝却感到羞耻。

God is ashamed when the prosperous boasts of his special favour.

我将影子投射在前方的路上,

因为我有一盏还没有燃亮的灯。
