Regretless Youth
无怨的青春
By Xi Murong
作者席慕容
If you fall in love when you are young
在年轻的时候,如果你爱上一个人,
Please - be kind to him
请你,请你一定要温柔的对待他。
No matter how long or short you share your hearts
不管你们相爱的时间有多长或多短,
If your feelings may continue, then
若你们能始终温柔的对待,那么,
Every moment will be peerless perfection
所有的时刻都将是一种无瑕的美丽。
If you must leave, still bid her fond farewell
若不得不分离,也要好好的说声再见,
And be thankful in your heart
也要在心里存着感谢,
For the memories he left you
感谢他给了你一份记忆。
When you are older, you will realize
长大了以后,你才会知道,
At the instant when you suddenly recall those moments
在蓦然回首的刹那,
That youth without resentment is without any regret
没有怨恨的青春才会无遗憾,
Just like the aged moon gracing the hills with quiet clarity
如山冈上那轮静静的满月。
一颗开花的树
——席慕容
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
求佛让我们结下一段尘缘
佛于是把我化做一棵树
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
当你走近
请你细听
那颤抖的叶是我等待的热情
而当你终于无视地走过
在你身后落了一地的
朋友啊
那不是花瓣
那是我凋零的心
A Blooming Tree
——by Xi Murong
May Buddha let us meet in my most beautiful hours,
I have prayed for it for five hundred years.
Buddha made me a tree
By the path you may take.
In full blossoms I'm waiting in the sun
Every flower carrying my previous hope.
As you are near,
Listen carefully
The quivering leaves are my waiting zeal,
As you pass by the tree without noticing me.
My friend,
Upon the ground behind you
Is not the fallen petals
But my withered heart.
青春
诗/席慕容
所有的结局都已写好
所有的泪水也都已启程
却忽然忘了是怎样的一个开始
在那个古老的不再回来的夏日
无论我如何地去追索
年轻的你只如云影掠过
而你微笑的面容极浅极淡
逐渐隐没在日落后的群岚
遂翻开那发黄的扉页
命运将它装订得极为拙劣
含著泪 我一读再读
却不得不承认
青春是一本太仓促的书
Youth
A poem By Xi Murong/Tr.By Lily
All finale has been written out
All tears have set forward
But I forgot suddenly how it began
In that old summer that never comes back again
No matter how I go for searching
You only pass by at a young age like a cloud shadow
A smiling face super pale and shallow
After sunset gradually faded behind a host of hills
Then to the yellow fly page I turn
Fate binds it up, utmost clumsy
Tears in my eyes,I read again and again
Having to admit that youth is a book so hastily written
