I like for you to be still

我喜歡你是寂靜的  

I like for you to be still， it is as though you were absent，

我喜歡你是寂靜的，仿佛你消失了一樣， 

and you hear me from far away， and you voice does not touch you。

你從遠處聆聽我，我的聲音卻無法觸及你。 

It seems as though your eyes had flown away

好像你的雙眼已經飛離遠去。 

and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth。

如同所有的事物充滿了我的靈魂， 

As all things are filled with my soul

你從所有的事物中浮現， 

you emerge from the things， filled my soul。

充滿了我的靈魂 

You are like my soul， a butterfly of dream，

你像我的靈魂，一隻夢的蝴喋， 

and you are like the word Melancholy。

你如同憂郁這個字  

I like for you to be still， and you seem far away。

我喜歡你是寂靜的，好像你已遠去。 

It sounds as though you were lamenting， a butterfly cooinglike a dove。

你聽起來像在悲嘆，一隻如同鴿悲鳴的蝴蝶。 

And you hear me from far away and you voice does not touch you:

你從遠處聽見我，我的聲音無法企及你： 

Let me come to be still in your silence。

讓我在你的沈默中安靜無聲。 

And let me talk to you with your silence

並且讓我借你沈默與你說話， 

that is bright as a lamp，simple as a ring。

你的沈默明亮如燈，簡單如指環。 

You are like the night， with it's stillness and constellations。

你就像黑夜，擁有寂靜與群星。 

Your silence is that of a star， as remote and candid。

你沈默就是星星的沈默，遙遠而明亮。 

I like for you to be still， it is as though you were absent，

我喜歡你是寂靜的，仿佛你消失了一樣， 

distant and full of sorrow as though you had died。

遙遠而且哀傷，仿佛你已經死了。 

One word then，one smile，is enough。

彼時，一個字，一個微笑，已經足夠。 

And I am happy， happy that it's not true。

而我會覺得幸福 ， 因為那不是真的
