Poem

Fragrant Nirvana Tree (1999)

I'm infatuated
in the fragrance of this aromatic tree
knowing that its luring won’t be faithful
even though I breathe it deep inside
still it will follow someone else away
but I'm infatuated

Tree of fragrance doesn't even know there is a love-infatuated one
it's just a game between itself and the breeze
but I'm infatuated

I've lost my way
in the shade of the nirvana tree
knowing it is just a momentary luring
and though I cannot bear to let it go
knowing when the time comes it will leave
but I have lost my way

Nirvana tree doesn't even know there is a love-infatuated one
it's just a game between itself and the glimmer
but I've already lost my way^[1]^[2]

伽南香娑罗树 (1999)

我痴迷

在伽南香的香味里

知道那是一个不忠实的诱惑

纵然深深吸入

它依然会随他人而去

但我已痴迷

伽南香从不知有一个自作多情的人类

那只是它与风之间的嬉戏

但我已痴迷

我失迷

在娑罗树的树影里

知道那是个不长久的诱惑

纵然恋恋不舍

它依然会随时光而去

但我已失迷

娑罗树从不知有一个自作多情的人类

那只是它与光之间的嬉戏

但我已失迷
