When I Die
When I die,
when my coffin
is being taken out,
you must never think
I am missing this world.
Don't shed any tears,
don't lament or
feel sorry
I'm not falling
into a monster's abyss.
When you see
my corpse is being carried,
don't cry for my leaving
I'm not leaving,
I'm arriving at eternal love.
When you leave me
in the grave,
don't say goodbye.
Remember a grave is
only a curtain
for the paradise behind.
You'll only see me
descending into a grave.
Now watch me rise
how can there be an end
when the sun sets or
the moon goes down.
It looks like the end
it seems like a sunset,
but in reality it is a dawn
when the grave locks you up
that is when your soul is freed.
Have you ever seen
a seed fallen to earth
not rise with a new life?
Why should you doubt the rise
of a seed named human?
Have you ever seen
a bucket lowered into a well
coming back empty?
Why lament for a soul
when it can come back
like Joseph from the well.
When for the last time
you close your mouth,
your words and soul
will belong to the world of
no place no time.
当我死去
当我死去
在启棺出殡之际
你切莫以为
我眷恋这个尘世
别为我洒泪 徒作伤悲
或为我惋悔
我又不是跌入
魔鬼的深渊黑隧
当你眼见
我的皮囊被人抬起
切莫哭别我的离去
我不是在离去
而是启程永爱之旅
当你离开我的坟前
不必说再见
记住墓门的入口
只是一道惟帘
掀开就是天国的乐园
你只会见我
降身躺入墓穴
且留意看我飘升超越
如同太阳落山
月沉西海
又岂是一个终结
死亡看似尽头
也像日落一样
其实是另一个黎明朝阳
当墓穴将你幽闭
你的心灵就自由飞翔
你何曾见过
一粒种子入土
没有新生命长出?
那又为何怀疑
人性之籽的萌芽破土?
你何曾见过
一只桶放到水井里
提起来是空空的?
缘何为逝去的灵魂哀泣
它必定去而复归
就像约瑟复归于井底
当你最后一次
紧溘上双唇
你的言辞和灵魂
就属于那个
无穷无尽的永恒
