Hundreds Of Sparrows

Hundreds of Sparrows

every hair on your head is counted
细数你头上的秀发
you are worth hundreds of sparrows
你和那成群的麻雀一样珍贵
the tree you planted has become fecund
with kamikaze hummingbirds
勇敢的蜂鸟们栖息在你种的那棵现在已经很茂盛的树上

wings of hundreds of beats per second
of people whose wings are just a blur
人们不想看清鸟儿们那拍得飞快的翅膀
afraid our eyes might become impaled
by their sharp and tiny beaks
也许是害怕眼睛会被那小小的尖嘴啄伤吧

I'm so sorry
我很抱歉
my spirit's rarely in my body
我总是魂不守舍
it wanders through the dry country
我的灵魂徘徊在这干枯的国度
looking for a good place to rest
寻找一处可以降落的栖息地
your head upon my chest
当你依偎在我的怀里
and I can feel the pillow of your breast
我能感觉到你柔软如枕的乳房

you are worth hundreds of sparrows
你如同那群麻雀一般珍贵
