席慕容：一棵开花的树

A Tree in Bloom

席慕容

How do I let you meet me, At my most beautiful moment.

For this,

I beseeched the Buddha for five hundred years,

I beseeched him to let us meet in earthly life.

如何让你遇见我在我最美丽的时刻为这

我已在佛前求了五百年

求它让我们结一段尘缘

Buddha let me become a tree,

Growing on the roadside that you pass by every day.

Under the sunlight,

It carefully bloomed with flowers all over,

Every bloom is my longing from a previous life.

佛于是把我化作一棵树

长在你必经的路旁

阳光下慎重地开满了花

朵朵都是我前世的盼望

When you come near, Please listen carefully,

Those shivering leaves,

Are the passion of my waiting.

当你走近

请你细听

那颤抖的叶

是我等待的热情

And when you finally passed by unawares

Those that fell off and covered the

ground,

Friends,

Those are not flower petals, Those are my withering heart.

而你终于无视地走过

在你身后落了一地的

朋友啊

那不是花瓣

是我凋零的心
