I Like for You to be Still
我喜歡你是寂靜的

I like for you to be still
It is as though you are absent
And you hear me from far away
And my voice does not touch you
It seems as though your eyes had flown away
And it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth
我喜歡你是寂靜的，仿佛你消失了一樣。
你從遠處聆聽我，我的聲音卻無法觸及你。
好像你的雙眼已經飛離遠去，
如同一個吻，封緘了你的嘴。

As all things are filled with my soul
You emerge from the things
Filled with my soul
You are like my soul
A butterfly of dreams
And you are like the word: Melancholy
如同所有的事物充滿了我的靈魂，
你從所有的事物中浮現，充滿了我的靈魂。
你像我靈魂，一只夢的蝴蝶，
你如同憂郁這個字。

I like for you to be still
And you seem far away
It sounds as though you are lamenting
A butterfly cooing like a dove
And you hear me from far away
And my voice does not reach you
Let me come to be still in your silence
我喜歡你是寂靜的，好像你已遠去。
你聽起來像在悲嘆，一只如鴿悲鳴的蝴蝶。
你從遠處聽見我，我的聲音無法企及你。
讓我在你的沉默中安靜無聲。

And let me talk to you with your silence
That is bright as a lamp
Simple, as a ring
You are like the night
With its stillness and constellations
Your silence is that of a star
As remote and candid
并且讓我借你的沉默與你說話，
你的沉默明亮如燈，簡單如指環。
你就像黑夜，擁有寂靜與群星。
你的沉默就是星星的沉默，遙遠而明亮。

I like for you to be still
It is as though you are absent
Distant and full of sorrow
as though you had died
One word then, One smile is enough
And I'm happy;
Happy that it's not true
我喜歡你是寂靜的，仿佛你消失了一樣，
遙遠且哀傷，仿佛你已經死了。
彼時，一個字，一個微笑，已經足夠。
而我會覺得幸福，因那不是真的而覺得幸福。
