Текст и перевод песни 周國賢 - 當下的力量

當下的力量

凝看著這樖樹
悠然自得 於風中哲思
來看著這樖樹
茫然若失 於風中折枝
誰看著這樖樹
終極問題 統統糾結於 時 間 內
答案於 時 間 外
每個片刻忙著顧慮

當 瓦解自我
破鏡內是誰
當 看穿銀河
誰在仰望故居
當 色相 粉碎
全部故事告吹
當 思想 已熟 睡
讓愛光臨在當下裡

聆聽著這樖樹
情緒停頓 於心中冥思
來變做這樖樹
時間停頓 於心中覺知
誰創造這樖樹
心念樊籬 早早鋪設於 頭 腦 內
破繭於 頭 腦 外
每個間隙忙著過濾

當 瓦解自我
破鏡內是誰
當 看穿銀河
誰在仰望故居
當 色相 粉碎
全部故事告吹
當 思 想 不 可了悟空 虛
覺悟原在當下裡

困囿了的 哭 或 笑
禁囹圄 逃不出 多 與 少
Woo woo
謐然裡 靜觀 寂照

當 瓦解自我
破鏡內是誰
當 看穿銀河
誰在仰望故居
當 色相 粉碎
全部故事告吹
當 思想 已熟 睡
讓愛光臨在當下裡

當刻這首歌 每字每句
一切將止息 卻是個序
千世千生 一個伴侶
道別時 乘樹蔭 這一剎 原諒了 也贖罪
寬恕總建立於虛構裡
大愛中臣服當下裡

Power of the Present Moment

Gazing at this tree
Free and easy, contemplating in the wind
Coming to look at this tree
Dazed and confused, snapping a branch in the wind
Who is looking at this tree
The ultimate question, all tangled up in time
The answer is outside of time
Every moment busy worrying

When the ego dissolves
Who is in the broken mirror
When you see through the galaxy
Who is looking up at the old home
When the form is shattered
The whole story is over
When thoughts have fallen asleep
Let love come in the present moment

Listening to this tree
Emotions stop, contemplating in the heart
Come to be this tree
Time stops, awareness in the heart
Who created this tree
The prison of thought built long ago in the mind
Escape from the mind
Every gap busy filtering

When the ego dissolves
Who is in the broken mirror
When you see through the galaxy
Who is looking up at the old home
When the form is shattered
The whole story is over
When thoughts become unfathomably empty
Enlightenment is in the present moment

Trapped in crying or laughing
Imprisoned, unable to escape from more and less
Woo woo
In the stillness, calmly observing the silent light

When the ego dissolves
Who is in the broken mirror
When you see through the galaxy
Who is looking up at the old home
When the form is shattered
The whole story is over
When thoughts have fallen asleep
Let love come in the present moment

This song in this moment, every word and every sentence
Everything will end, but it's a beginning
A thousand lifetimes, one companion
When we say goodbye, under the shade of a tree, in this instant, forgiven and redeemed
Forgiveness is always built on fiction
In great love, surrender to the present moment
