The Seaside Is My Home

I live near the sea for years.

The billow sound every night,

Enlightens me how to be great,

And how to look on greatness.

Without seeing great mountains,

I form no habit of looking up.

I live near the sea for years.

Too much water, saltier than tears,

Floats some directional boats,

Or other drifting boats

To travel far across the sea.

So the shore is always in my heart.

I live near the sea for years.

With more floaters on the sea,

The limpidity¹ of sea vanishes.

Just like the dust of years,

Thicker and thicker on our body,

The beauty of bareness disappears!

我住在大海边

我住在大海边很多年了

夜夜气势宏博的涛声,让我知道

怎样是伟大

怎样看待伟大

我没有见过大山,没有养成

仰望的习惯

我住在大海边很多年了

见过太多的水,比眼泪更咸的水

承受着有方向的船,或者

随波逐流的船

漂洋过海

在生命的尽头都摆脱不了岸

我住在大海边很多年了

海面上越来越多的漂浮物

覆盖了大海的清澈

就像越来越多岁月的灰尘

堆积在我们身上

让身体逃离赤裸
