I know the sound of the ecstatic flute,

but I don’t know whose flute it is.

我知道狂喜的笛音，

但我不知道那是誰的笛子。

A lamp burns and has neither wick nor oil.

一盞燈燒了起來卻沒有燈芯也沒有燈油。

A lily pad blossoms and is not attached to the bottom!

漂浮的蓮葉花盛開卻沒有連接到水底！

When one flower opens, ordinarily dozens open.

當一朵花開了，通常好幾打的花跟著開。

The moon bird’s head is filled with nothing but thoughts of the moon,

and when the next rain will come is all that the rain bird thinks of.

月鳥的腦袋裡除了想月亮之外什麼也沒有，

而水鳥所想的只是下次的雨什麼時候來。

Who is it we spend our entire life loving?

我們一生所愛的究竟是誰？
