Really - Bei Dao

Really

Bei Dao

The thick fog has whitewashed every tree trunk,

In the horse stable's disheveled mane,

Wild bees dance. The green flood

Is but the dawn held back by the embankment.

This morning,

I forgot our age.

Ice is cracking, pebbles

Have left our fingerprints on the water's surface.

Really, this is spring,

A leaping heart stirs the clouds in the water.

Spring has no nationality,

White clouds are citizens of the world.

Let's make peace with humanity,

My song.

original version (in Chinese):

真的

北岛

浓雾涂白了每一颗树干，

马棚披散的长发中，

野蜂飞舞。

绿色的洪水

只是那被堤岸阻隔的黎明。

在这个早晨，

我忘记了我们的年龄。

冰在龟裂，

石子在水面留下了我们的指纹。

真的，这就是春天呵，

狂跳的心搅乱水中的浮云。

春天是没有国籍的，

白云是世界的公民。

和人类言归于好吧，

我的歌声。
