Outside the Window

by: Xiangyang 

tr: Rhapsodia

Whose steps are there, passing by my window

Again and again, hitting the drumhead of my heart 

From afar to near, I always hope this time

It is you. This very illusion 

Cannot hold them from getting afar again 

 

If on such a night I am doomed to be sleepless 

Please allow me to traverse your dreams

Like an eagle slanting through the sky 

Strikes alight the tardy dawn with his wings

(from The Pain Through Life)
