樊功生

年轻的冲动

一生最为难得

那只孤燕

二十出头

从北大

来到了大漠

六十年之后

依然年轻

还在那里... 

窟壁上的飞天

千百年了

仍栩栩如生

翩翩起舞

王孙贵族已无影无踪

她的身影还在那里

扑面而来

又扬然而去

是无尽的篇章

把灿烂的文明传向八方

那是她的文字

她的心血

她是

敦煌的女儿

人间的飞天

Murals

By Ken Fan

That youthful impulse

Is the most precious of all. 

A lone swallow, 

Just over twenty, 

From Beijing

To the vast desert.

Sixty years passed,

Yet youthful,

Is there still... 

The angels on the gratto walls

A thousand years in existence, 

Are still dancing

And lively. 

Those wealthy and powerful all vanished, 

But she remains there. 

Coming and going

Are those endless scripts,

That spreaded the brilliant civilization

To all the places.

Those are her words,

And her blood and sweat.

She is

The daughter of Dun Huang,

And an angel of the Mankind.
