On My Way Home -Ryuichi Tamura

I should never have learned words
how much better off I’d be
if I lived in a world 
where meanings didn’t matter,
the world with no words

If beautiful words take revenge against you
it’s none of my concern
If quiet meanings make you bleed
it also is none of my concern

The tears in your gentle eyes
the pain that drips from your silent tongue –
I’d simply gaze at them and walk away
if our world had no words

In your tears
is there meaning like the core of a fruit?
In a drop of your blood
is there a shimmering resonance of the evening glow
of this world’s sunset?

I should never have learned words
Simply because I know Japanese and bits of a foreign tongue
I stand still inside your tears 
I come back alone into your blood

言语之物 无须记取

如果能生活在没有语言
意义也失去意义的世界里
该有多么美好啊

即便你被华丽的言语所报复
那些也与我无关
即便你在寂静地流淌着鲜血
那些也与我无关

你温柔的眼中所蕴含的泪水
你沉默的舌中坠落的痛苦
如果我们的世界里没有语言
我只会远望这些然后离去吧

你的泪水里 有着果实之核般的深意吧
你的一滴血里 回荡着让全世界的黄昏都战栗的晚霞之声吧

言语之物 无须记取

而幸而我记取了日语和其他些许外语
我才能止步于你的泪水之中
我才能从你的血中孑然踏上归途
