心底的悲傷
My sorrow is shed ...
飄塵
我不相信璀燦的銀星竟會如此隕落，
我猜想，冥王府隻是把你的歸期弄錯；
或許，上蒼隻不過給人們開了個玩笑：
把愚人節荒誕的故事提前述說?...
I cannot believe your brilliant life is thus perished,
I suppose, your return date was just miscalculated;
Perhaps it's only a joke that Heaven wishes to tell,
To me, a story he wants to tell on pre-April First.
哦！來自紐約布魯克林的E.H醫師！
你風趣幽默，熱愛生命，酷愛生活:
你種下的“藍菜花”剛剛萌出嫩綠的葉芽，
“梯透”正盼你回家把你的故事與它戲說。
Oh, Dr. E.H, who came from Brooklyn, New York,
You love life, and living things, with great humor,
"Broccoli seeds" have just budded with their green leaves;
"TITO" is awaiting your return, to have the story heard.
我猜想，西雅圖的旅途讓你太過疲倦，
你無意中在睡夢裏越過了陰陽的忘川。
或許，“奈何橋”上你走得太深太遠，
看見了“三生石”想返回，可為時已晚？
The trip to Seattle might be too rough, that you're so tired,
Having a nap that the "wangchuan" was passed in the dream;
Perhaps, on the "Naihe Bridge" too far you walked,
It's too late to stop at the "Sangsheng Stone", it's too late?
忘憂水啊！你為何讓未竟的遺願留在夢裏？
我不讓淚珠墜落,心底卻湧起悲傷的波瀾。。。
Alas! "Soup of Mengpo"! Why his hope and spirit was left, in his dream?
With tears held in my eyes, my sorrow is shed from the bottom of the heart...

我不相信璀燦的銀星竟會如此隕落，
我猜想，冥王府隻是把你的歸期弄錯；
或許，上蒼隻不過給人們開了個玩笑：
把愚人節荒誕的故事提前述說?...
I cannot fathom it; a shooting star has fallen dark!
in what seems like some cosmic calculation gone awry...
A sly preemptive stroke of wanton reckoning
That forfeits one more bright career to blind caprice.

So Ed - You quintessential Brooklynite...are gone...
Gone, too, your love of life and everything alive:
The eager broccoli you sprouted in such plenty for your staff,
And Tito, with his ears pricked-up to catch your footfall coming back.

Out there, did you perhaps slip off to sleep, exhausted from the trip?
And idly take the Naihe Bridge, across the brooding Wangchuan
That flows between the realms of dust and dawn - on past the Sansheng Stone...
Bleak commandant of all the roads that plunge to where Milady Meng
忘憂水啊！你為何讓未竟的遺願留在夢魘？
我不讓淚珠墜落,心底卻湧起悲傷的波瀾。。。
Is lading out her broth in darkling bowls. However so, you're gone.
Yet, I would have you know dear friend, that here, behind, I weep for you with all my heart.
