Say my name when a tree susurrates,
Once and again telling a story lost in time,
the way it starts and the way it ends,
Never again making up stories in dismay,
With several starts, but just one end,
Ah, how I long to embrace,
The future breaking out of shades from the past,
Still ablaze,
Save your tears for the day so far away,
To irrigate the wilderness that’s still asleep,
In the world waiting to be lit,
To spread over the riverbeds so dry and dead,
Let ships that ran aground re-launch their sails,
Ah, how I long to embrace,
The future breaking out of shades from the past,
Still ablaze,
Seeds bear new life when flowers dare to fade,
Petals linger about,
awaiting one last dance,
Shaking off all the dust from the past,
New stories have yet to start。
