Outside the Universe of Sapphire

Don’t you think the key is sweet
If it condenses into a diamond in solitude
And its song unlocks the portals to unseen gold?
You have discovered a new paradise!
Have the eyes of the juvenile once again
You have boarded the platinum ship
And the giants welcome you.
Set off! Outside the universe of sapphire
Explore the Kingdom of the Souls!!

在蓝宝石的宇宙之外

难道钥匙不是甜美的吗
当你的清静寂寞凝结成一枚钻石
而它的歌声打开了隐形的黄金之门
你发现了一个新的天堂
让你重新拥有了少年的眼睛
你登上白金的巨轮
巨人们把你欢迎
出发吧 在蓝宝石的宇宙之外
还有多少灵魂的王国

Home Sweet Home beyond Milky Way

Nestled in the wings of night
After the pearl gem sets in heaven
I climb to the roof of the earth
To gaze at the star.
Gazing at the star,
To witness the coming century, the city of the giant
Blossom like a silver Garden.
The Music from that mysterious Galaxy
Soothes my soul like the rain.
In the light, let my form alight
Back to my home, beyond the Milky Way.

银河之外的家园

黑夜的翅翼
镶嵌了天堂的珍珠宝石
我在地球的屋顶之上
向星际凝望
仿佛看见未来世纪的巨城
绽放如白银的花园
来自神秘星系的乐曲
是一阵阵灵魂的甘雨
让我的身体乘光而行
回到了那银河之外的家园

Platinum Song

I seek the soul of words
That marks the beginning of words
That the gods of the eyes
Watch me from the depths
Makes me tremble and rejoice
As to savor the honey of paradise.
Oh! The light of light, the soul-star
Let the future be a platinum ballad
Take the dream ship, for,in no time
It shall arrive at the city of the giant

白金的歌谣

我寻找词语的魂灵
那太初的词语 有诸神的
眼晴 在深处向我注视
令我颤抖 欢喜
犹如品尝了天堂之蜜
哦 那光之光 灵魂之星辰
让未来成为一首白金的歌谣
让你乘坐梦的飞船
瞬间抵达巨人之城

The Prehistoric Golden State

Wish my smile were a golden armour.
May the Sun’s golden mirror guard your chest.
In the music of hundreds of millions of stars
Let your dreams sweeten like the wine of dawn.

The gods in heaven, the guardian of your soul
Out of the book of the giant bestow upon you a day
When Mountains bow to greet you, and,
A golden country, in ancient epoch, the ocean confers.

史前的黄金之国

愿我的笑容是黄金的铠甲
是太阳的金镜护卫你的胸膛
是亿万星辰编织的乐曲
让你的梦境甜美如黎明之酒

诸神在天堂把你的灵魂守护
赠你一部天外的巨人之书
高山让路向你鞠躬致意
海洋献出史前的黄金之国

Sweet Interstellar Above

The Time has come to blossom and flourish
In my garden the stars will gather
Each star is a singer
From a mysterious country.

The giant from the City of Platinum
Shall bring a bunch of stone-necklace
This then is a song of the soul
On the stylish sweet interstellar above.

甜蜜的星际之上

时间开花的时候
星星将聚集我的花园
每一颗星是一个歌手
来自一个神秘的国度

那来自白金之城的巨人
将带来一串宝石的项练
那是一曲灵魂的歌谣
流行于甜蜜的星际之上

Words Such as God

Winter comes and winter goes
Until boots back the golden spring.
My soul has boarded the dragon car of Gods
And has just called on the kingdom of 72 planets.

Words such as God, where everyone is king
When their sun blossoms to you, forever
You will forget the world and forget the years.
3.20 .2016

词语如上帝

让冬去冬 直至春的金靴归来
我的灵魂 乘坐诸神的龙车
刚刚访问了七十二颗星球上的王国

那儿人人是王 词语如上帝
当他们的太阳向你绽放
你会忘了曾经的世界 忘了岁月
