Waiting(Song Unsung)

The song I came to sing

remains unsung to this day.

I have spent my days in stringing

and in unstringing my instrument.

The time has not come true,

the words have not been rightly set;

only there is the agony

of wishing in my heart…..

I have not seen his face,

nor have I listened to his voice;

only I have heard his footsteps

from the road before my house…..

But the lamp has not been lit

and I cannot ask him into my house;

I live in the hope of meeting with him;

but this meeting is not yet.

【诗歌译文】

《等待》(未唱之歌）

我要唱的歌，直到今天还没有唱。

我度过许多日子，把琴弦拧紧又松开。

时机还没来到，歌词也未曾填满；

只有愿望的痛苦充满我的心……

未见其面，未闻其声；

我只听见，他在我房前小路上走过……

但我无法请他进门，

只因我还未点亮灯火；

我生活在与他相遇的 希望中；

但这场相遇未曾来过。
