致命邂逅
 
高原上　黄河边　山道旁　　
你像尊神　立于天地之间　
她们　都在仰望你
而你　炽热目光里只有我
 
四目相对　心灵战栗
电光火石　鹘落兔起
燕子在旁呢喃　仿佛说
你们　就是彼此要寻找的人
 
多年了　我灵魂沉寂
欢笑不曾全然　
哭泣也不能尽兴
原以为　此生尘缘已断
 
“你来这儿干吗”　你问
“宿命让我来的”　我答
漫花儿如泣如诉
　　绝望又狂喜
 
暮色中　列车从站台启动
带着忧伤的喘息
我命运的齿轮　
也开始转动
 
夕阳  一点一点消失
它将去往何方
泪水　一滴一滴落下
此去一别　山高水长

A Fatal Encounter

On the plateau beside Yellow River and the mountain path
Like a God, you stood between heaven and earth
The ladies were all looking up to you
But I was the only one in your hot eyes
 
Our four eyes gazed at each other
With our hearts shivering like lightning
As swiftly as a falcon diving at a hare
The swallow nearby whispered, as if to say
You are just the two who are looking for each other

For years my soul was silent
I couldn’t enjoy myself to the full
Or even cry to my heart’s content
I thought my bonds to this world had been broken

“What are you doing here?” you asked
“Destiny guided me here,” I replied
The flowers were weeping and complaining
In both despair and ecstasy

The train started from the platform at dusk
With a desolate gasp
The gears of my destiny
Started to roll again

The setting sun disappeared little by little
Where would it go?
My tears fell down drop by drop
A long departure ahead
With mountains and rivers between us

桑干河畔
 
无定河
是桑干河的前世
流入帝都后
被称作永定河
“千里桑干，唯富涿鹿”
上苍的安排自有奥秘
 
当 太阳照在桑干河上
我来到桑干河畔
土改第一村——温泉屯村
为了追寻一位女杰的足迹
对大地的深厚情怀 
对时代的热切关注
成就她豪迈与苍凉参半的人生
 
桑干河
是她人生的分界线
丁玲纪念馆前
槐树与榆树紧紧纠缠
民间称之为爱情树
让我想起关于纪念馆女主人公的谶言
“飞蛾扑火 非死不止”
 
黑夜亘古笼罩
天地、田野、村舍  万物融入
无边的岑寂
想必  “昨日文小姐”不羁的灵魂
依然有着深刻的孤独与悲凉

At the Bank of Sanggan River
 
Wuding River --
The past name of Sanggan River
After entering the imperial capital
It became Yongding River
“Along the thousands of miles of Sanggan,
Only Zhuolu has become wealthy”
Heaven's arrangement has its own mystery

When the sun shone on Sanggan River
I came to the side of the River
To Hot Spring Village, the first village for land reform
In order to follow the footsteps of a heroine

Her deep feelings for the earth
And her keen attention to the epoch
Fulfilled her life
Mixed with heroism and desolation
 
Sanggan River –
The line of demarcation in her life
In front of the Ding Ling Memorial Hall
Locust and elm trees were closely entwined
Local folks called them “Love Trees”
They reminded me of the prophecy
Regarding the heroine of the Memorial Hall
“A flying moth will dart into fire until its death”

With dark night enshrouding for a long time
Heaven and earth, fields, villages and everything else
Were assimilated into boundless silence
The unruly soul of “Yesterday's Genteel Lady”
was still filled with deep loneliness and sadness

艾斯里金草原
 
艾斯里金
多美好的名字
花草如星辰
点缀着红柳白棘
其实 艾斯里金
是戈壁与草原的混合
隐匿于柴达木腹地
氤氲着空灵之气
 
据说 柴达木的地理位置
几乎就是世界的中心
 
夕阳的余晖中
洁白的蒙古包里
炊烟袅袅升起
酥油茶的芳香
沁人心脾
缓缓流淌的长调
令人心碎
这是从艾斯里金草原
生长出来的声音
歌手叫戈壁
 
三岁的巴音
像高原上的野草
自由自在生长
壮实如马驹  快乐似小鸟
灵动得像只野兔
眼睛清澈如同山泉
小巴音
艾斯里金草原的精灵
就像这片高原盆地
从此也在我心里扎下了根

Aslikin Grassland

Aslikin
What a beautiful name
Flowers and plants are as plenty as stars
Littered with rose willows and white thorns
 Aslikin is actually
A mixture of Gobi Desert and the grassland
Hidden in the hinterland of Qaidam
Enshrouded with lovely and lyrical air
It is said that the geographical location of Qaidam
Is almost the center of the world
 
In the afterglow of the setting sun
Smoke curls up from the chimneys of white yurts
The aroma of buttered tea
gladdens the heart and refreshes the mind
The Long Tune flowing slowly
Is heart-breaking
This voice grows from Aslikin Grassland
The singer's name is Gobi

Three-year- old Ba Yin
has grown up freely
Like the wild grass on the plateau
Strong as a horse foal, happy like a bird
Quick-witted as a hare
His eyes are as clear as the mountain spring
Young Ba Yin
An elf of the Aslikin Grassland
Has taken root in my heart
As well as this plateau basin

雪原
 
冰雪 冰雪 冰雪
无边无际
覆盖着克什克腾
曼陀山银光闪闪
如蒙古勇士的冠带
贡格尔河
像一条洁白的哈达
达里诺尔
大海般辽阔
 
大即是美 
足以征服一切
 
奔驰的铁蹄马
像一道闪电
矫健的红衣骑手
鹰一样掠过
我心中的火焰
熊熊燃起
 
铁木真——
我的前世  一定是
任你驰驱的坐骑
或者是 乌兰布统牧羊女
曾为出征的你奉上奶茶
甚至是
向你献祭的如花羔羊
你悲悯的一瞥
种下我千年的情根
留给我旷世的孤独
 
蒙古包
珍珠般洒落于雪原
我匍匐于帐前
伸手承接长生天恩
暴烈的风雪
是我疯狂的呼喊：
可汗 成吉思汗！
你可听到我狂乱的心跳？
马蹄下的烟云
是永远无声的应答

Snowfield


Ice and snow,  ice and snow
Cover Keshkten boundlessly
Mount Mantuo glitters with a silver glow
As the crown belt of Mongolian Warriors
Ganger River
Looks like a white hada
Dalai Nur
Is as vast as the sea and the ocean

As “Big is beauty”
It is enough to conquer everything

On a galloping horse
Like a flash of lightning
A red rider of grace and poise
Flew past like an eagle
He ignited a fire in my heart
A raging fire
 
Temujin——
My previous life must have been
A horse you rode and controlled
Or the shepherdess of Ulan Butong
who served you milk tea before your battle
Or even a pretty lamb as a sacrifice to you
Your compassionate glance
Planted roots of love in me for thousands of years
Leave me boundless loneliness

Mongolian yurts
Look like pearls glittering the snow
I crawl in front of the tents
Reaching out for the eternal grace
Fierce snowstorm
Is my insane scream:
Khan, Genghis Khan!
Can you hear my crazy heartbeats?
Clouds of smoke under the horses' hoofs
Are just an eternal silent response

戒台寺
 
对戒台寺的心驰神往
来自恭亲王
 
当四海称雄的爱新觉罗·奕䜣
从权力顶峰跌落
一头被拔了牙的狮子
梦游般来到京西
这座全国最大佛寺戒坛
安身立命
 
皇子 重臣 三朝名王
为大清挽狂澜于既倒
曾经有多么辉煌
此时就有多么悲凉
他刻骨铭心体悟到
世事多变 诸法无常
 
侍花木  阅金经
      青灯古佛  暮鼓晨钟
十年修行   魔消佛长
“金紫满身皆外物，文章千古亦虚名”
何等的大彻大悟
读之令人摧心裂肝！
 
从庙堂到庙宇
从权倾朝野到“我佛在上”
恭亲王 有了两颗心
一颗流血 一颗宽容
高贵的灵魂
总是与痛苦相伴
  
“天下第一坛”钟声悠扬
传来法音：戒 定 慧

Jietai Temple
 
My yearning for Jietai Temple
Descended from Prince Gong
Aixinjueluo Yiyi 
A most powerful man in the world
Fell from the peak of power
Like a lion with its teeth pulled out
He came to Jingxi,  as if in his sleep walk
To settle down in the greatest temple of China


As a son of the emperor, a powerful official and
A famous prince during three emperors
He attempted to save the Qing Dynasty from collapse
However brilliant his career used to be
parallel with how miserable it was then
He was profoundly aware that
The world was changeable and the laws were variable
 
Gardening and reading the precious scriptures
Under a blue lamp and a statue of ancient Buddha
Hearing the evening drum and the morning bell
After ten long years of such practice
The devil in him diminished while Buddha reigned
“Fame and gains are nothing but external things
Writings lasting forever are only vanity”
What a great enlightenment
Reading it is heart wrenching and devastating!

From the imperial court to the Temple
From reigning power to “my Buddha above everything”
Prince Gong had two hearts
One was bleeding and the other was tolerance

A noble soul
Is always coupled with suffering
The bell of  “the world's first altar” is melodious
Sounding the voice of Buddha:
Caution, Perseverance and Wisdom
