我曾经是一只天使
不是在天上
就是在圆形的田野里
圆形的边缘
有蓝色的花边

我才不顾那漂亮的花边
小河的鱼儿
用长长的胡须
牵着我浪走了世界

我才不顾天上的云朵摇摇欲坠
牧羊的小伙
用他奶奶的话儿
给我讲着古言

我就是一只天使
他们不信
我也不信
慢慢地 我也相信了他们

I used to be an angel

I was once an angel—
not in the sky,
but in a round field,
its edges trimmed
with blue lace.

I cared nothing
for that lovely lace.
The little river’s fish,
with their long whiskers,
took me drifting
around the world.

I cared nothing
for clouds trembling above.
A shepherd boy,
with his grandmother’s words,
told me ancient tales.

I was an angel,
they didn’t believe it.
I didn’t believe it either.
Slowly—
I began to believe them.
