Beautiful Scar

Here is a flower for you:

Transparent stems and soft-colored petals.

It has your look and fragrance.

 

There is a breeze in the valley.

Fishing boats float on the river.

A silver fish jumps out water.

Calves stumbled along

After their mothers.

 

A beautiful March afternoon

Speaks its thoughts of you.

A bald eagle soars.

It is you:

Lives lost and marked with

A most lucky and unlucky number.

 

May all flowers please you,

May all kindness  

Comfort this beautiful scar.

 

This beautiful scar.

This beautiful country.

This beautiful world.

This beautiful life.

And all those we have lost.

 

美丽伤疤

请笑纳这鲜花：

通透的花茎、色泽柔和的花瓣。

它有着你的样貌、散发着你的气息。

 

山谷里一丝和风吹送。

河流上钓鱼的小船。

跃出水面的银色鱼儿。

还有步履蹒跚的小牛。

 

美丽的三月午后

所思所想都是你。

白头鹰展翅升腾，

它就是你：

逝去的生命

无法用数字代表，

不能用世俗捆绑。

 

愿鲜花换你笑颜。

愿人们的善良抚慰这

美丽的伤疤。

 

这是美丽的伤疤。

这是个美丽的国家。

这是个美丽的世界。

这是个美丽的人生。

不管多麽不舍，

那麽多的生命我们终究没能挽留。
