October Rain/十月飘雨

 October Rain

十月飘雨 (英文版)




Rudderless, it comes

The rapid drops sputter the windowpanes

Dancing with indiscreet rhythm 

Like a piano recital murmuring at your earlobe

Seducing you to abruptly 

exit the door of your ethereal dream

Eyes wide open as the limpid morning light

inundating your vision

And it is gone

When you anticipate another soggy morning

It is gone like an artifice

Leaving some arcane watermarks 

on the dusty glasses

Like a riddle of life to be decoded

or just a series of trivialized footprints 

that expound nothing

Practically nothing that matters you 

for whatsoever intimacy

When the world goes round and round

senselessly without any edifying direction

With eyes closed, you lie back down

Inside a mammoth insular cocoon

Weaving the endless ecstasy of carnality

You deafen your ears 

to another deafening loquacity 

of the October rain.........
