给我的孩子:三篇
To My Child (Three Poems)
晚霞与劳拉
The Sunset Glow and Lara
Oh my child Papa loves you so
Your pure laughter melts Papa every time
Your bright eyes are like a springtime guitar
Ah my child
Do you remember Papa said we would go chase the sunset glow
Chase the sunset glow chase the sunset glow
Ride the wind and lightning bravely roam the world
Never let anyone erase your dreams
Never let anyone say your ideas are too big
When you feel scared in the future why not come back to Papa here and listen to Papa talk to you
Your Papa fears neither heaven nor earth
His only fear is you thinking too small of yourself
But just keep moving forward because you are Papa's Lara
Papa loves to hear you say I did it look Papa I can do it
Papa is so happy so proud of you
My precious daughter Papa truly truly loves you
抱抱爸爸好吗
Give Papa A Hug, Please?
Oh my child Papa has learned so much from you
That photosynthesis of input settling and output
Papa found sudden clarity just looking at you
Those so-called profound laws of cause and effect
Are also what Papa sees intuitively in you
I am so grateful Mommy gave birth to you
I love you both I love this home of mine
But Papa also blames himself why at thirty he still struggles to provide
Still bringing you and Mommy turbulence and noise
I am so scared it will always stay like this
But Papa is not scared because Papa cannot be scared
Let me hug you and you hug Papa okay
给乌龟讲童话
Reading Fairy Tales to a Turtle
Oh children why do some people hit and scold you
Why on earth do they do this
Is it because you are noisy because you are naughty
Or because you don't live the way they want you to
Ah I am so afraid
I am so afraid of you getting beaten by them
Beaten until you are terrified
Even more afraid
That you get beaten by them
Until you develop resentment towards this entire world
Ah why must it be this way
You adults why can't you fight the real authorities
When you get bullied outside
Where did your courage go
Do you want to be Lin Chong yet look down on Lin Chong
But children Mom and Dad might have been hit and scolded this way too
They are just like that story not knowing you could actually read fairy tales to a turtle
So do not fear do not hate your Mom and Dad let's slowly grow up together
