Three Poems

By Chinese Poet Yuan Hongri

Translated by Yuanbing Zhang

The Stars of The Dawn

When the sky gallops like the rivers

you stand in the street of the city on the world

look up at the sky and you could almost hear the singing of the stars

summoning you in the depths of space.

And the Heavens of the gods

are towering lofty cities like the mountains

on gold coast of time;

And on the mammoth ship of platinum

the rings of light twine around giant’s necks of men and women

 their eyes are like the stars of the dawn.

黎明的辰星

当天空疾驰如江河

你站在人间之城的街道

向天仰望 仿佛听到群星的歌声

在太空的深处向你召唤

而诸神的天国

在时光的黄金海岸

矗立山岳般的巍峨之城

而白金的巨轮之上

巨人的男女 项佩光环

眼眸如黎明的辰星

Only the Eternity is Equal to It

I am a singer from the heavens

my song is silent, only the soul can hear it.

Those ancient gods are the mountains behind me,

they gave me the flowers of millennium from paradise,

let my song mellow and sweet as the smile of the heavens;

let the face of time blush and lift the veil of death;

let the ancient earth reveal the true face of gold.

Oh, you’ll see another you,

as old as the sun, as young as the dawn

his kingdom is huge and only the eternity is equal to it.

唯有永恒与之齐名

我是一位来自天堂的歌者

我的歌曲无声 唯有灵魂听见

那些古老的诸神 是我身后的山岳

他们赠我千年的仙果

让我的歌声芳醇 甘美如天国的笑容

让时光的脸儿羞红 掀去死亡的面纱

让古老的大地 露出黄金的真容

哦 你将看到另一个自己

古老如太阳 年轻如黎明

他的王国之巨大唯有永恒与之齐名

My Heaven is Inside My Body

My heaven is inside my body,

my heaven is a great many,

like stars in the night sky,

with silver towers,

huge edifices that look like apphires ,

golden palaces, gardens of crystal.

My body is bigger than the universe,

countless gods and angels are my partners,

as if they are countless myself.

Neither time nor life and death in my words

dawn and dusk are the same name,

and sadness and joy are the same words.

我的天国在身体之内

我的天国在身体之内

我的天国居多犹如夜空的繁星

白银的楼阁 蓝宝石的巨厦

黄金的殿堂 水晶的花园

我的身体比宇宙更巨大

无数的天神与天使是我的伙伴

他们仿佛是无数的我自己

我的词语里没有时间也没有生死

黎明与黄昏是同一个名字

而悲伤与欢喜是同一个词语
