It's still snowing - An Haiyin / 安海茵
It's still snowing / This is the only clean earthly fire / The scent of snow covers the shadow of haze / The birds hide away, and the grains are gathered in the barn / This winter's a total waste / There's nothing left in the snow /
An Haiyin / 安海茵
IT'S STILL SNOWING
It's still snowing
This is the only clean earthly fire
The scent of snow covers the shadow of haze
The birds hide away, and the grains are gathered in the barn
This winter's a total waste
There's nothing left in the snow
At the moment, someone’s at peace
Someone carries a lifetime of regret for their homeland
And someone recalls their childhood dreams
The ethereal songs and cries in their traveling bags
Perhaps there are those who weep for the snow and the ice
that they've come so close to and then moved
so far away from
And who else have been lost over and over again, still
cut off words, walk and stop in the golden flames of snow
More snow will be forgotten by the world
And deep in the mire, but still loved
(Translated by Ji Qing)
雪还是在下
雪还是在下
这唯一干净的人间烟火
雪的香气将霾的阴影遮盖
飞鸟尽藏 谷粒收仓
这个冬天彻底闲落
在雪中空空荡荡
这时有人内心宁静
有人背负对故土一生的歉疚
有人想起孩提时的梦
那行囊里一路检点的缥缈的歌哭
或者也会有人饮泣 为那亲近之后又远离的冰雪
还有谁一遍遍地失去 在黄金般的雪焰里截句 行止
更多的雪被世人遗忘
深陷泥沼却依旧被深深爱着
