Kawa Niangji ལགས་ཀྱི་ཟིན་བྲིས།

If One Day

If one day I fade out,
not saying a goodbye, with half joy half bitterness,
catching a bus going any direction
or getting off halfway, wayward with the wind,
forgive me and my restless soul.

If one day I knock on your dream
at the break of dawn or deep in the quiet night,
do not reject me or push me out the door. Do not call me
a stranger. I've climbed over mountains and mountains
just to take a glance at you, in wind or dust.

如果有一天

如果有一天

如果有一天,我不辞而别
带着一半的快乐,一半的忧伤
搭上一辆去往任何方向的大巴
或在半路下车,随风而去
请原谅我这颗,躁动不安的心

如果有一天,我敲开你的梦
在黎明时分,或在寂静的深夜
请别把我拒在门外,别说我陌生
我翻山越岭,风尘仆仆地赶来
只为了,与你一见
