快把星光盛进篮子，
按下宇宙的暂停键！
在无尽沉寂中，
等待下一个“顷刻”。
无人歌颂时间，
他们只是在时间里歌唱。
——也让我静止，
像一叠曝光的胶片，
你可尽情在画面之间涂抹。
——也让我静止，
这样在下一个顷刻，
你就能尝试解开我心中的结。
它由无数时序的思绪交织而成，
人们已然称之为生命本身。
——也让我静止，
这样可以提醒我哪怕形如短暂的，
一丝顾虑，
一份彷徨，
时光中崩解的沙质城堡，
也是不可回溯的远方，
无价的珍宝。
Quickly gather starlight in a basket,
and press the Pause button of the Universe!
So, in endless stillness,
await the next “instant.”
No one sings in praise of time;
one merely sings in it.
— and now hold me still,
like a stack of film.
you can freely smudge between frames.
— and now hold me still.
in the next instant,
try to unravel my soul.
weave countless threads of thought,
known readily as life itself.
— and now hold me still,
this might remind me:
even threads of doubt,
and hesitation,
Castles of sand upon the passage of time,
Are places afar that no one returns to,
and priceless treasures.
