I like for you to be still: it is as though you are absent
我喜欢你是静静的，仿佛你消失了一样
and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you
你从远处聆听我，我的声音却无法触及你
It seems as though your eyes had flown away
好像你的目光已经游离而去
and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth
如同一个吻，封缄了你的嘴
as all things are filled with my soul
如同我积满一切的灵魂
your emerge from the things, fill with my soul
而你从一切中出现，充盈了我的灵魂
you are like my soul, a butterfly of dreams
你像我的灵魂，像一只梦想的蝴蝶
and you are like the word melancholy
你如同“忧郁”这个词
I like for you to be still, and you seem far away
我喜欢你是静静的，好像你已远去
It sounds as though you are lamenting, a butterfly cooing like a dove
你听起来像在悲叹，一只如鸽般细语的蝴蝶
And you hear me from far away, and my voice does not reach you
你从远处聆听我，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话
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, with its stillness and constellations
你如黑夜，拥有寂静与群星
Your silence is that of a star, as remount and candid
你的沉默就是星星的力量，遥远而明亮
I like for you to be still: it is as though you are absent
我喜欢你是静静的：仿佛你消失了一样
distant and dull of sorrow, as though you had died
远隔千里，满怀哀恸，仿佛你已不在人世
One word then, one smile, is enough
彼时，一个字，一个微笑，就已足够
And I’m happy, happy that’s not true
而我会感到幸福，因那不是真的而感到幸福
