Once for a whole day

in a temple with burning incense I meditated

suddenly I seemed to hear

the resonance of your recitation in my ear

那一天

闭目在经殿的香雾中 

蓦然听见 

你诵经的真言

Once for a whole eve

I listened to the soulful chant in relief

not for enlightment in quest

but to feel your living breath

那一夜

我听了一宿梵唱 

不为参悟 

只为寻你的一丝气息

Once for a whole month

I turned all prayer wheels in earnest

not for repenting sins

but to touch your fingerprints

那一月

我转过所有经轮 

不为超度 

只为触摸你的指纹

Once for a whole year

on all fours to dust I came near

not for worshipping gods

but to feel your warmth in love

那一年

我磕长头拥抱尘埃 

不为朝佛 

只为贴着了你的温暖

Once for a whole life

I journeyed through ten thousand spires

not for rebirth to complete

but to meet you in destiny

那一世

我翻遍十万大山 

不为修来世 

只为路中能与你相遇

Once in a split second

I may ascend as a spirit

not for eternity

but to bless with joy and security

那一瞬

我飞升成仙 

不为长生 

只为佑你平安喜乐
