你見過大海
 
 
 你見過大海
 你想象過
 大海
 你想象過大海
 然後見到它
 就是這樣
 你見過了大海
 並想象過它
 可你不是
 一個水手
 就是這樣
 你想象過大海
 你見過大海
 也許你還喜歡大海
 頂多是這樣
 你見過大海
 你也想象過大海
 你不情願
 讓海水給淹死
 就是这样
 人人都这样
 
 
 
 SO YOU'VE SEEN THE SEA
 
 
 so you’ve seen the sea
 you’ve imagined
 the sea
 you’ve imagined the sea
 and then seen it
 just like this
 so now you’ve seen the sea
 and imagined it as well
 but you’re not
 a sailor
 just like this
 so you’ve imagined the sea
 you’ve seen the sea
 perhaps you even like the sea
 just like this, and nothing more
 so you’ve seen the sea
 and you’ve imagined the sea
 you’re not willing
 to be drowned by the sea
 just like this
 just like everybody else

 有關大雁塔
 
 
 有關大雁塔
 我們又能知道些什麼
 有很多人從遠方趕來
 為了爬上去
 做一次英雄
 也有的還來做第二次
 或者更多
 那些不得意的人們
 那些發福的人們
 統統爬上去
 做一做英雄
 然後下來
 走進這條大街
 轉眼不見了
 也有有種的往下跳
 在臺階上開一朵紅花
 那就真的成了英雄
 當代英雄
 有關大雁塔
 我們又能知道什麼
 我們爬上去
 看看四周的風景
 然後再下來
 
 
 ABOUT THE WILD GOOSE PAGODA
 
 
 what more can we know
 about the Wild Goose Pagoda
 many people hasten from afar
 to climb it
 to be a one-time hero
 some still come to do it two
 or more times
 the dissatisfied
 the stout
 all climb up
 to play the hero
 then come down
 and walk into the street below
 gone in a wink
 some with real guts jump down
 burst into a red bloom on the steps
 that's really being the hero
 a modern-day hero
 what more can we learn
 about the Wild Goose Pagoda
 we climb up
 look around at the scenery
