为了看见你，我不断擦着玻璃

玻璃越擦越亮

可以看到前世

看到手持刀剑的同伙

穿着黑衣

飞檐走壁

你让我擦，继续擦

你说一定还会看到现场

一群人像脱壳的花生

极其危险

亢奋得像大风中的树

我还看到了熟悉的鞋子

一只向东

又一只被你带走

多慌忙的告別

履带压着一块正在燃烧的煤

极像十多年前的夏天

我们就这样子

劝着抱头的父亲

相信疼痛能治好

相信那一片向日葵的理想

相信擦着擦着

就可以看到外公外婆

看到久违的炊烟

再擦，我看到了你

看到一条小巷

看到落在地上的花朵

看到墙角处

你正在撕扯一片阳光

唱着动听的歌谣

擦啊擦

我看到了坚炮

正在对着城门

哥哥站在上面

喊着，向我开炮

To see you, I need to keep rubbing the glass...

By: Maidong (麦冬）*

The more the glass is rubbed, the clearer it becomes

I can see into the past

There is a band of men with swords in their hands

Dressed in black

Leaping on to roofs and vaulting over walls

You tell me to keep rubbing

So that I will continue to experience the phenomenon

You tell me I will see a group of people who appear to be shelling peanuts

This is extremely dangerous

As disconcerting as a tree in a gale force wind

I also see familiar shoes

One facing the East

And the other that you took with you

In your great rush to leave

Beneath the tracks a piece of burning coal lies crushed

Much like that summer more than a decade ago

We are the kind of people,

My father counselled me, his fingers interlaced at the back of his head,

Who believe that pain can be cured

The kind of people who believe in the perfection of a sunflower

The kind of people who believe that by continuing to rub the glass

We can see our grandparents

And the long-vanished smoke from a kitchen chimney

And by rubbing once more I see you

I see an alley way

I see flowers falling to the ground

I see a corner

You are tearing apart the pleasure of sunshine

Singing a nice song

Rubbing again and again

I see an unyielding cannon

Facing the city gate

A brother is standing on top of it

Shouting at me and opening fire

* Maidong is the Dwarf Lilyturf (Ophiopogon japonicus), a plant used in Chinese medicine
