hundreds of sparrows

every hair on your head is counted
細數著你的秀發
you are worth hundreds of sparrows
你如成群的麻雀一樣彌足珍貴
the tree you planted has become fecund
你曾栽種的樹已枝繁葉茂
with kamikaze hummingbirds
無畏的蜂鳥成群棲息在樹上

wings of hundreds of beats per second
飛快扇動著翅膀
of people whose wings are just a blur
人們不願看清它們振翅的模樣
afraid our eyes might become impaled
因為害怕自己的雙眼
by their sharp and tiny beaks
被它們的小尖嘴啄傷

I'm so sorry
我很抱歉
my spirit's rarely in my body
我常常心不在焉
it wanders through the dry country
我的靈魂總是徜徉在這個乏味的國度
looking for a good place to rest
想要尋覓一處安歇之地
your head upon my chest
你依偎在我懷中
and I can feel the pillow of your breast
我能感受到你柔軟如枕的酥胸

you are worth hundreds of sparrows
你如成群的麻雀一樣彌足珍貴
