誓言

1997.March
梦想中的二十岁
我肩负背囊在大陆上漂泊
从一个城市到另一个城市
从一个村庄到另一个村庄
我曾躺在田野里
感受土壤的原始与结实
也曾在树林里奔跑呼喊
向山神表明自己斗志昂扬
在这些旅程里
陌生人总会展示友好
连不起眼的凡夫俗子
也会变成吟游诗人与我共同歌唱
我风餐露宿日夜兼程
仿佛漂泊只有一次
我披星戴月废寝忘食
自知青春之后便是无可奈何的衰老与死亡

如今我已过了二十岁
在南欧的小镇上面对烛光
我冥思苦想
窗外春夜已经降临
窗内二十岁的梦想
悄然而回


I am twenty in my dream
Drifting with backpack between the continents
From one city to another city
From one village to another village
I once lie in the boundless fields
Trying to understand the soil and its primitives
I once run madly in the thick forest
Demonstrating to the mountain my young and fighting spirit
In these journeys
All the strangers are eager to show me their hospitality
Even the most boring souls
Are converted to poets and sing with me
I walk day and night, reaching as far as I can
As if there is only one trip in my life
I forget how to sleep and when to eat
Knowing that after youth there is only aging and dying
Now I am over twenty
I am wakened by the spring rain  of Walldorf, southern Germany.
 I light up the candle
And watch it burning to its end. 
Outside the window
The morning is coming
Inside my room
My old dream in reviving in the dim light
