玉门关

樊功生

它 仅剩下了废墟

但春风

还是吹了过来

听不见 大漠驼铃

看不到 长烟孤城

眼前是

不情愿的白云

和那条大路

笔直 光亮平整

祁连山下

黄沙霾里

还有

杵着长杆的僧人...？

Yu Men Pass

By Ken Fan 

Here, only the ruins remain. 

Yet the Spring breezes

Still manage to sweep over.

You can neither hear the camel bells,

Nor see the lone smoke from deserted city.

In front of us,

Are there some reluctant clouds

And a highway,

Arrow straight, bright and smooth.

Under the Qi Lian mountains,

And through sand storms,

Are there still monks

Walk with a long slender crane.
