一棵开花的树
A Tree in Bloom
席慕蓉
By Xi Murong
如何让你遇见我
在我最美丽的时刻
为此,我已在佛前求了
五百年,让我们
结一段尘缘
how can I let you encounter me
at the time when my beauty fully shows
for this, I’ve prayed Buddha
for five hundred years to let us
fall in a romantic story
于是佛把我
化作了一棵树
长在你必经的路旁
阳光下慎重地开满花
朵朵都是我前世的盼望
therefore, Buddha
just turns me into a tree
growing by the path you must pass
and blooming deliberately in the sunshine
each flower is the yearning in my prelife
当你走近,请你细听
颤抖的叶是我等待的热情
当你终于无视地走过
在你身后落了一地
朋友啊,那不是花瓣
而是我凋零的心
