Karen Kun’s Translation #4 - from ChenLi’s “Song with miraculous power”

Song with miraculous power

I saw rainstorm in desert

the sea kissing a shark

sunset chasing sunrise

I’ve never seen you

I know beauty will age

there are lives beyond life

there are verses in the wind

I don’t know you

I heard of barren flourishes

castles buried by dust

I witnessed the birds rejected the sky

never heard of you

I understand out there is nothing but a bubble

silent is the only redemption

I know what can make you proud

I never understand you

I rejected a better, rounder moon

I rejected unknown madness

I rejected the thrilling and the excitement

never ever could I reject you

I desolated myself

turned into a transparent wall

and became indifferent

never ever could I become anything like you

I have heard the echo of emptiness

sounds of pouring rain greens the lonely mountain

I’ve been told cursed secrets

never heard of you

I grabbed the scattered desires

tempting fragrance made me nervous

I grabbed the illusions

never ever could I get hold of you

I could tolerate spring frozen in midsummer

I could tolerate immortal life

I could bear with hesitation

never ever could I tolerate you

I forgot that I am on a lonely island

tears are not able to heal

I forgot silent protest that echoes for centuries

never ever could I forget you

I want a better, rounder moon

I want unknown craziness

I want the thrilling and the excitement
I want you 

奇妙能力歌  

我看過沙漠下暴雨

看過大海親吻鯊魚

看過黃昏追逐黎明

沒看過你

我知道美麗會老去

生命之外還有生命

我知道風里有詩句

不知道你

我聽過荒蕪變成熱鬧

聽過塵埃掩埋城堡

聽過天空拒絕飛鳥

沒聽過你

我明白眼前都是氣泡

安靜的才是苦口良藥

明白什麽才讓我驕傲

不明白你

我拒絕更好更圓的月亮

拒絕未知的瘋狂

拒絕聲色的張揚

不拒絕你

我變成荒涼的景象

變成無所謂的模樣

變成透明的高墻

沒能變成你

我聽過空境的回音

雨水澆綠孤山嶺

聽過被詛咒的秘密

沒聽過你

我抓住散落的欲望

繾綣的馥郁讓我緊張

我抓住世間的假象

沒抓住你

我包容六月清泉結冰

包容不老的生命

包容世界的遲疑

沒包容你

我忘了置身瀕絕孤島

忘了眼淚不過失效藥

忘了百年無聲口號

沒能忘記你

我想要更好更圓的月亮

想要未知的瘋狂

想要聲色的張揚

我想要你
