I come back again to the old house

that I thoughtI knew for most ofa lifetime

the house I reclaimed from abandon and ruin

and thatI called my home at times when I was here

and at times whenl was somewhere far from here

this time I have not come to reclaim anything

but to move nothing and to touch nothing

as thoughlwere a ghost or here in a dream

andl know it is a dream that has no age

in this dream the same river is still here

the house is the old house and I am here in the morning

in the sunlight and the same bird is singing

我又回到了老房子

我以為我熟悉了大半生

我把這棟房子從廢棄和廢墟中收回來

我在這里的時(shí)候有時(shí)會(huì)給家里打電話

有時(shí)當(dāng)我在遠(yuǎn)離這里的某個(gè)地方

這次我不是來索回任何東西的

但是什么也不要?jiǎng)?，什么也不要?/p>

仿佛我是一個(gè)幽靈或者在做夢(mèng)

我知道這是一個(gè)不分年齡的夢(mèng)

在這個(gè)夢(mèng)里，同一條河還在這里

房子還是老房子，我早上在這里

在陽光下，同一只鳥在歌唱
