路 歌

在树与树的遗忘中                                               
是狗的抒情进攻
在无端旅途的终点
夜转动所有的金钥匙
没有门开向你

一只灯笼遵循的是
冬天古老的法则
我径直走向你
你展开的历史折扇
合上是孤独的歌

晚钟悠然追问你
回声两度为你作答
暗夜逆流而上
树根在秘密发电
你的果园亮了

我径直走向你
带领所有他乡之路
当火焰试穿大雪
日落封存帝国
大地之书翻到此刻

Road Song

in the oblivion between the trees
the lyric attacks by dogs
at the end of an endless trip
night turns all the keys of gold
but no door opens for you

a lantern follows
the ancient principles of winter
I walk straight toward you
as you open the fan of history
that’s folded in an isolated song

the evening bell slowly questions you
echoes answer for you twice
dark night sails against the current
tree roots secretly generating electricity  
have lit your orchard
  
I walk straightly toward you
at the head of all foreign roads
when fire tries on the heavy snow
sunset seals the empire
the earth’s book opens the page of this moment
