Fan Xiaochun's "Lend Me"

Lend me an old age,
Lend me fragments.
Lend me indecision.
Lend me stubbornness like a teenager.
Lend me the innate nature I acquire the day after tomorrow.
Lend me change as if it were never changed.
Lend me plain sophistication and sensible folly.
Lend me a predictable face.
Lend me gentle recklessness and solemn joking.
Lend me the timidity at the beginning and the end.
Lend me self-evident disappearance.
Lend me an autumn.
But you say it's already winter.

借我一个暮年，
借我碎片，
借我瞻前与顾后，
借我执拗如少年。
借我后天长成的先天，
借我变如不曾改变。
借我素淡的世故和明白的愚，
借我可预知的险。
借我悲怆的磊落，
借我温软的鲁莽和玩笑的庄严。
借我最初与最终的不敢，
借我不言而喻的不见。
借我一场秋啊，可你说这已是冬天。
