.
That is everything you've already heard
Everything you've already known

.
Maybe life is a dream
And death is awakening
You once longed to wake up
And walked alone for it

.
The mountain is a gentle camel
Quietly bearing falling stars, rains, and forests
The sea is your blood

.
For the road
The body passes through the keyhole
Twisting into a key
Only in moments of pain
Can you be sure that you're real

.
For the road
You've had the farthest dream
There, you experienced birth, old age, illness, and death

You gradually became transparent
Capable of love
You and your dream
Gradually became one

.
You discovered
That when you love
You too are real

.
Maybe the road is long and endless
I have no way other than solitude
To make you realize
That the grass must bear the dew
For the dawn to be close

.
I cannot tell you in words
But love is there

.
For life is music
Death is listening

Translated by Yok-Him Devn

I Have No Way Other Than Solitude

.
那是你早已聽聞的一切
早已知悉的一切

.
也許生命是夢
而死亡是醒
你曾渴求醒來
為此孤獨行走

.
山是溫柔的駱駝
默默背負流星,雨水和森林
海是你的血液

.
為了路
肉身穿過鎖孔
絞成鑰匙
唯有痛苦的時候
確定自己是真的

.
為了路
你曾做過最遠的夢
在那裡生老病死

你漸漸變得通透
可以愛情
你與你的夢
慢慢合而為一

.
你發現
當你愛的時候
你也是真的

.
這一路也許漫長無際
我沒有孤獨以外的方法
使你了悟
像草必須承受露水
才能靠近晨曦

.
我沒有辦法用語言告訴你
但是愛就在那裡

.
因為生命是音樂
死亡是聽

我沒有孤獨以外的方法
