我睡在杜鹃花下

I slept under   rhododendron

花儿落了一夜

All night   blossoms fell

厚纸板上我瑟瑟发抖

Shivering on   a sheet of cardboard

双脚埋进背包

Feet stuck   in my pack

双手插在衣袋里

Hands deep   in my pockets

难以成眠。

Barely  able  to  sleep.

想起那时我们还在读书

I remembered   when we were in school

同睡一张温暖大床

Sleeping together   in a big warm bed

我们是最年轻的恋人

We were   the youngest lovers

分手时才十九岁。

When we broke up   we were still nineteen.

如今朋友们都已结婚

Now our   friends are married

你回到东部教书

You teach   school back east

这样的生活我不会介意

I dont mind   living this way

青青山峦，漫长的蓝色海滩

Green hills   the long blue beach

可是有时露宿野外

But sometimes   sleeping in the open

我常想起有你的日子。

I think back   when I had you.
