人有人的故事,鸟也有鸟的故事,当鸟成了故事的主角,人成了模糊的背景,人该感到谦虚,在人的世界以外,有成千上万的鸟儿漫天飞舞,以人不懂的语言与星体沟通,出生不久,即能无误地飞行数千公里, 安然抵达度冬的场所。旅途中有暴风雪、有沙漠、有枪响,有的捱不过风雪,有的渴死在沙漠中,有的来不及走,成了迷鸟,有的受了伤,拖着半边翅膀,一拐一拐的,最后葬身在成群螃蟹腹中。尽管旅途辛苦,鸟儿们却总是持续着,年复一年,无止尽地往返,兑现 "la promesse du retour et tenue." I like the word "promise."
Across the oceans Across the seas, Over forests of blackened trees.
Through valleys so still we dare not breathe, To be by your side.
Over the shifting desert plains, Across mountains all in flames.
Through howling winds and driving rains, To be by your side.
Every mile and every year for every one a little tear.
I cannot explain this, Dear, I will not even try.
Into the night as the stars collide,
Across the borders that divide forests of stone standing petrified,
To be by your side.
Every mile and every year, For every one a single tear.
I cannot explain this, Dear, I will not even try.
For I know one thing, Love comes on a wing.
For tonight I will be by your side. But tomorrow I will fly.
From the deepest ocean To the highest peak,
Through the frontiers of your sleep.
Into the valley where we dare not speak, To be by your side.
Across the endless wilderness where all the beasts bow down their heads.
Darling I will never rest till I am by your side.
Every mile and every year, Time and Distance disappear I cannot explain this.
Dear No, I will not even try.
For I know one thing, Love comes on a wing and tonight I will be by your side.
But tomorrow I will fly away, Love rises with the day and tonight I may be by your side.
But tomorrow I will fly, Tomorrow I will fly, Tomorrow I will fly.
