That I've to let the small tree in front of the door

　　for me shed the leaves off

　　I'm too old as to shell off a layer of earth

　　And another layer of earth once more

　　Seeing these layers of earth

　　I know that going out is the bonfire on my chest reserved for you

　　And departing is the strength kept for you in my arm

　　As far as my eyes, tardy and erratic

　　They start to see everything

　　Actually, I'm very old

　　For the latest short span of my life

　　I just keep on asking the small tree in front of the door

　　for me to shed the last leaf

　　While the world is changing and time is flying

　　Why I say that you don’t come, I'm dare not to grow old

　　’Cause when I’m alone

　　I do still cherish a very slim hope that you also think so

　　其实我已经老了

　　我老得让门前的那棵小树替我掉叶子

　　我老得掉了一层土

　　又掉了一层土

　　看到这些土

　　我就知道，过去胸膛上给你预留的篝火快要熄灭了

　　手臂上给你预留的力量快要离开了

　　及至双眼，开始看什么都是缓慢的

　　飘忽不定的

　　其实我已经很老了

　　及至这后来的一小段时光

　　我只是继续让门前的那棵小树替我掉下最后一片叶子

　　世易时移处

　　我之所以说你不来，我不敢老去

　　是没人的时候

　　我非常渺茫地希望，你也在这么想
