時光滄海 ( Ocean Over the Time)
時光 宛如雨後的藍 (OT #1-8)
天涯 未遠 (OT #9-12)
風華 縱使未曾遠
飄散 往事如煙
我曾刻下的詩篇
在懸崖上盛開
像沉默的火焰
化做塵世的波瀾
時光 宛如指間的弦
歌聲未遠
記得當時繁花開
你在 我的身邊
我曾走過的荒原
隨歲月而煙灰
像永世的冰川
化做呼嘯的風雪
我心中的荒原
隨歲月而煙灰
像永世的冰川
化做呼嘯的風雪
像從前的誓言
化作光透出深淵
睜開雙眼
在天涯的盡處
看見了滄海
時光 宛如風裏的船
隨浪飄遠
月色 如水影千帆
我在你的眼前
English Translation of Ocean over the Time
Time, like the blue after the rain
The horizon is not distant
Your beauty, though never faded away
The past had vanished like the mist
The poems I engraved on the stones
Blossoming on the cliff
Like the silent flame
Transforming into
the waves of the dusty world
Time, the strings between my fingers
The song is not distant
Remember the field of flowers blooming
You were by my side
The waste land I’ve traveled
Disseappered like the time gone by
As the eternal glaciers
Dissipated into howling blizzard
The waste land in my heart
Has vanished through the ages
Like the oath I made in the past
Turning into light
Penetrating through the abyss
Opening my eyes –
I see through the ocean over the time
At the end of the sky
Time, like the boat in the wind
Drifting away with the waves
Moonlight, as the thousand sails
Reflecting on the clear water
I am here in front of your eyes-
