子夜弥撒

 然後我们驱车
 去有彩色玻璃穹顶的暖房
 看那株种了将近两千年
 且用人子的血灌溉过的
 十字架
 是否开了花

 当风琴头一个忍不住
 呜呜哭起来的时候
 我们便纷纷拿起大衣，知道
 今年无论如何
 是不会有希望的了

 只有那个不死心的管理员
 仍在那里念念有辞
 一边乱洒着水

MIDNIGHT MASS

 We then drove to the greenhouse
 to see if the Cross was in bloom
 the Cross that was planted 2000 years ago
 the Cross that was once watered
 with blood

 When the pipe organ became the first one
 to break down crying
 we all picked up our coats and headed for the door
 knowing it was another hopeless year

 Only the stubborn caretaker refused to give up
 he kept muttering something to himself
 while sprinkling the air with water
