Maple Leaves and Seven Stars
The world is as small as a street scene
when we met you nodded briefly
dispensing with the past
and friendly greetings
happiness is just a passage, perhaps,
and all is at an end
but why do you still tie that red scarf aroundyour head
look, through the lace of maple leaves the sky
Is veryclear, and the sun
Hasshifted to the last windowpane
the seven stars ascending
Behindthe massive roofs
Nolonger look like a cluster of ripe grapes
it is another autumn
the street lights will soon be lit, of course
I woulddearly like to see you smile
forgiving but indifferent
and that calm gaze
the street lights will soon be lit
枫叶和七颗星
世界小得象一条街的布景
我们相遇了,你点点头
省略了所有的往事
省略了问候
也许欢乐只是一个过程
一切都已经结束
可你为什么还戴着那块红头巾
看看吧,枫叶装饰的天空
多么晴朗,阳光
已移向最后一扇玻璃窗
巨大的屋顶后面
那七颗星星升起来
不再象一串成熟的葡萄
这是又一个秋天
当然,路灯就要亮了
我多想看看你的微笑
宽恕而冷漠
还有那平静的目光
路灯就要亮了
