世界對着它的愛人，把它浩翰的面具揭下了。
它變小了，小如一首歌，小如一回永恆的接吻。

It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.
是大地的淚點，使她的微笑保持着青春不謝。
It is the tears of the earth that keep here smiles in bloom.

"是永恆的疑問。"

"是永恆的沉默。"
What language is thine, O sea?
The language of eternal question.
What language is thy answer, O sky?
The language of eternal silence.
靜靜地聽，我的心呀，聽那世界的低語，這是它對你求愛的表示呀。
Listen, my heart, to the whispers of the world with which it makes love to you.

What you are you do not see, what you see is your shadow.

是那最好的選擇我。
I cannot choose the best.
The best chooses me.
