你并非一定要善良。

You do not have to be good.

你并非一定要跪行一百里

You do not have to walk on your knees

通过沙漠，一直忏悔。

for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.

你只需让你躯体的柔软肉身

You only have to let the soft animal of your body

去爱它所爱的。

love what it loves.

给我讲讲你的绝望吧，我也会给你讲我的。

与此同时，太阳，和雨的透明卵石

Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.

穿越风景，

Meanwhile the world goes on.

下临大草原和幽深的树林，

Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain

大山和河流。

are moving across the landscapes,

与此同时，野天鹅高翔在蓝天，

over the prairies and the deep trees,

又一次飞往着家乡。

the mountains and the rivers.

无论你是谁，不管怎样孤独，

Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,

这世界都主动把它自己奉献给你的想像，

are heading home again.

向你呼唤，像野天鹅，刺耳又振奋——

一遍又一遍地宣告你

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,

在万物中的位置。

the world offers itself to your imagination,

calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting --

over and over announcing your place

in the family of things.
