Love at first sight
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
Wislawa Szymborska
They’re both convinced
that a sudden passion joined them.
Such certainty is beautiful,
but uncertainty is more beautiful still.
Since they’d never met before, they’re sure
that there’d been nothing between them.
But what’s the word from the streets, staircases, hallways -
perhaps they’ve passed by each other a million times?
I want to ask them
if they don’t remember -
a moment face to face
in some revolving door?
perhaps a “sorry” muttered in a crowd?
a curt “wrong number” caught in the receiver?
but I know the answer.
No, they don’t remember.
They’d be amazed to hear
that Chance has been toying with them
now for years.
Not quite ready yet
to become their Destiny,
it pushed them close, drove them apart,
it barred their path,
stifling a laugh,
and then leaped aside.
There were signs and signals,
even if they couldn’t read them yet.
Perhaps three years ago
or just last Tuesday
a certain leaf fluttered
from one shoulder to another?
Something was dropped and then picked up.
Who knows, maybe the ball that vanished
into childhood’s thicket?
There were doorknobs and doorbells
where one touch had covered another
beforehand.
Suitcases checked and standing side by side.
One night, perhaps, the same dream
grown hazy by morning.
Every beginning
is only a sequel, after all,
and the book of events
is always open halfway through.
* how beautifully written, the poem;
how amazingly twisted, the fate.
We're all in the dance
What does the music require?
People are moving together
Close as the flames in a fire
Feel the beat
Music and rhyme
While there is time
We all go round and round
Partners are lost and found
Looking for one more chance
All I know is
We’re all in the dance
Night and day
The music plays on
We all are part of the show
While we can hold on to someone
We know life won’t let us go
Feel the beat
Music and rhyme
While there is time
We all go round and round
Partners are lost and found
Looking for one more chance
All I know is
We’re all in the dance
We’re all in the dance
* I went for the film PARIS, JE T'AIME last weekend and found it a very interesting film. And I love this theme song very much... funny how life is.
La Même Histoire
cette chose indéfinissable
où vont ces destins qui se nouent
Pour nous rendre inséparables
On avance
Au fil du temps
Au gré du vent
On vit au jour le jour
Nos envies , nos amours
On s’en va sans savoir
On est toujours
Dans la même histoire
Quel est donc
Ce qui nous sépare
Qui par hasard nous réunit
Pourquoi tant d’allers, de départs
Dans cette ronde infinie
On avance
Au fil du temps
Au gré du vent
Ainsi
On vit au jour le jour
Nos envies, nos amours
On s’en va sans savoir
On est toujours
Dans la même histoire
漂流
飘落在木筏掠过的漩涡
漩涡一圈圈扩散无踪
红叶静悄悄随波逐流
你在沉默 我不知所措
江河里秒秒时光流过
那时候我还不懂得承诺
以为借木筏就能圆梦
以为到远方就有辽阔
你的选择我不曾想过
漂流在你等待的漂流
自由在我以为的自由
经过一段又一段摸不清的渡口
当漫天星星呼应闪烁
黑暗中的寂寞
没有你的船头
那根桨我总不太会握
我漂流无止境的漂流
自由在没有你的自由
经过一片又一片切割过的天空
就算看清了波澜壮阔
也无从去琢磨
少了你的笑容
渐渐的我把岁月上锁
风停了15年就过了
这一次我已不会再走了
重新温 溪面上的邂逅
漂泊的心 回到源头
注定爱你是最后的自由

告诉我
看电视的画面 它无声的闪动
看街上的行人 跟我擦肩而过
整个世界太冷漠 我没有力气再往前走
看你紧闭的嘴唇 它什么都不说
看你飘忽的眼神 它无情的闪躲
看你和我的回忆 跟我擦肩而过
你的改变太冷漠 我没有勇气大声地说
告诉我 你不是真的离开我
你也不愿这样的夜里 把难过留给我
告诉我 你不是真的离开我
你是要惩罚我的爱让你失去自由
告诉我
