The Very Morning
By Sun Jian-jun
Just the very morning you are
daylight that I said a prayer for you
Wind blowing from high layers of heaven
clouds were coming quietly
Skylarks flying into the clouds
warm sunshine caressed my face
Light yellow is the first morning light
Drizzle breaks ripples dispersing
It's your call wafting over me
It's spring water flowing through my heart
Dreams light up my window lattice
The distant news knocks on my door ring
Just the very morning you are
You're the one from afar, we're finally reunited
thousands of words but we're silent
Just listening in the name of morn
we have the silence of heartbeat
English translated by Chen Zihong

那個早晨
孫建軍
你就是那個早晨
是祈禱開啓的天光
有風自高天吹過
有云朵悄然降臨
有鳥鳴竄入雲端
有陽光暖暖地撲面
有鵝黃萌發出晨曦
有細雨敲開漪漣
有呼喚飄然而至
有春水直瀉心田
有夢境映射窗櫺
有遠方輕叩門環
你就是那個早晨
你是久別重逢的遙遠
我們什麼都不說
僅以早晨的名義傾聽
感悟心跳的無言
