我如果爱你

绝不像攀援的凌霄花

借你的高枝炫耀自己

我如果爱你

绝不学痴情的鸟儿

为绿荫重复单调的歌曲

If I love you

I won't wind upon you like a

trumpet creeper

upvalue myself by your height

If I love you

I will never follow a spoony bird

repeating the monotune

song for the green shade

也不止像泉源

常年送来清凉的慰籍

也不止像险峰

增加你的高度

衬托你的威仪

甚至日光

甚至春雨

not only like a springhead

brings you clean coolness

whole year long

not only like a steepy peak

enhances your height,

sets off your straightness

even sunshine

and spring rain

不，这些都还不够

我必须是你近旁的一株木棉

做为树的形象和你站在一起

根，紧握在地下

叶，相触在云里

每一阵风过

我们都互相致意

但没有人

听懂我们的言语

No, all these are

not enough!

I must be a ceiba

by your side

as a tree standing

together with you

our roots melt underneath

our leaves merge in clouds

when wind breezes

we greet each other

but no one

can understand our

peculiar words

你有你的铜枝铁干

像刀，像剑，也像戟

我有我的红硕花朵

像沉重的叹息

又像英勇的火炬

我们分担寒潮、风雷、霹雳

我们共享雾霭、流岚、虹霓

仿佛永远分离

却又终身相依

you have your strong

stem and branches

like knives and swords

and like halberds

I have my red ample flowers

like heavy sighs

and heroic torches as well

we partake cold tide,

thunder storm,firebolt?

together we share brume,

flowing mist,

rainbow

as if we separate all the time

actually we forever rely

on each other

这才是伟大的爱情

坚贞就在这里

爱——

不仅爱你伟岸的身躯

也爱你坚持的位置

脚下的土地

this is great love

loyalty lives here

Love——

not only your giant body

but also the position you stand，

the earth under your feet

～完～
