我喜欢的你是静静的

I like for you to be still:                                                  我喜欢的你是静静的

it is as through you are absent                                        好似消失了一般

and you hear me from far away                                      在远处聆听我

and my voice does not touch you                                   我的声音无法触及你

It seems as through your eyes had flown away              好像你的目光早已游离而去

and it seems that a kiss                                                    犹如一个吻

had sealed your mouth                                                    封缄你的唇

as all things are filled with my soul                               如同盈满我内心的种种

your emerge from the things, fill with my soul             你盈满我灵魂

you are like my soul, a butterfly of dreams                   你似我心灵，梦想之蝶

and you are like the word melancholy                            你像“忧郁”一词

I like for you to be still,                                                   我喜欢的你是静静的

and you seem far away                                                     好像你已远去

It sounds as though you are lamenting,                          你听起来像在悲叹

a butterfly cooing like a dove                                          一只如鸽般细语的蝴蝶

And you hear me from far away,                                     你从远处聆听我

and my voice does not reach you                                     我的声音却无法触及你

Let me come to be still in your silence                           让我在你的静谧中安静无声

And let me talk to you with your silence                     并且让我籍着你的沉默与你说

That is bright like a lamp, simple as a ring                 你的沉默亮若明灯，简单如环

You are like the night,                                                    你如黑夜

with its stillness and constellations                             拥有寂静与群星

Your silence is that of a star,                                       你的沉默就是星星的力量

as remount and candid                                                 遥远而明亮

I like for you to be still:                                              我喜欢你是静静的

it is as though you are absent                                      仿佛你消失了一样远隔千里

distant and dull of sorrow,                                       满怀哀恸，

as though you had died                                             仿佛彼时你已不在人世

One word then, one smile, is enough                     一个字，一个微笑，就已足够

And I m happy,                                                           我会感到幸福，

happy that’s not true                                              但那样的幸福却不真实
