1/3

by cAmilla on Vacation

The plain lies between Central Mountain Range and Seashore Mountain Range.

The sun rises and lights up the somber valley.

The radiant beam warms up the land.

Time to make a decision.

Yet, loneliness holds the soul.

A craving for freedom.

A craving for dreams.

A craving for love.

Yet, loneliness holds the soul.

I could be Central Mountain Range.

I could be Seashore Montain Range.

I could be the plain that embraces the golden crops.

Yet, loneliness holds the soul.

The moon emerges from the Pacific Ocean.

The waves dance with the full moon.

The beach echos with the waves.

Yet, loneliness holds the soul.

I would be the moon.

I would be the waves.

I would be the beach that glitters with silver stones.

Yet, loneliness holds the soul.

By the time the moonlight kisses the sun rays,

I shall know the secret of one third.

Time to make a decision.

Yet, loneliness holds the soul.

The part which an author doesn't want the readers perceive directly still can be transplanted to the different language translation.
As you said, it is very difficut. The hardest parts might be in finding the right words and how to make them read in rhyme.
In order to prevent misunderstanding from happening, A writer might be better to be a linguist. Otherwise, the situation is inevitable.
Forgive me for just explaining one line if you don't mind "be the plain that embraces the golden crops." The sentence suggests a seure life,being protected like plain between two mountain ranges.
It's kind of difficult for me to say things in English. So you see most people remain silence. Too long since I last spoke this lanuage.
Wish you have a sound sleep.

Once again, I'm touched with your insightful opinion. ^ ^

The plain could be interpreted as a secured life. In the poem, you can see clearly that all the symbols are written in a sequence of three-- The Central Mountain Range, The Plain, and The Seashore Mountain Range / The Moon, The Waves, and The Beach. I'm using the concept of "three" as a metaphor of different personalities that one might possess and the choices that one could have as well as the situations that one would encounter in his/her life. If you take a close look at it, you might discover that all the symbolic items in the poem are related to beautiful and gorgeous creation which implies "HOPE!" That is the secret of 1/3.

Therefore, if one feels lonely, no matter how splendid or wonderful his/her options are, he/she would not be able to seize the happiness. Loneliness is mentioned frequently in the poem to present a lonesome soul-- the soul that is eager to find a consolation. There is a strong image of a person having a forlorn look.

At the end, the poem delivers the hope by saying "I shall know the secret of 1/3." That means "I shall know the secret of getting rid of loneliness by making a wise decision and embracing hope."

這平原！在中央與海岸山脈間止栖
旭日昇起照亮陰暗的谷底
輻射光束溫暖了大地
是時候了！該作個決定
孤寂！佔據了心靈
渴望著自由
嚮往著夢
需要一份愛情
依然，孤寂！佔據了心靈
我可以是中央山脈
我可以是海岸峰群
我也可是擁抱黃金作物的大地
月兒從太平洋昇起
沙灘與浪花回響呼應
依然！孤寂，佔據了心靈
我將成為月光
我將化作海浪
我將是沙灘映照著銀石的嶙峋
依然，孤寂！佔據了心靈
當月色輕吻著陽光時
三份秘密我將瞭解其一
是該作個決定
依然，孤寂！佔據了心靈

I appreciate your spending time translating the poem. ^ ^ I'm flattered.

It has been hard to interpret poetry.

Each word carries more than one meaning.

Each sentence bears more than one thought.

Each stanza delievers more than one perception.

There is always more than one way to express the feelings.

The most important is when the poem echos with your own experiences and oozes a unique flavor that belongs to you only.
