北平凝固的八月

Frozen August in Peiping

永濟河嗚咽似的

The Yongji River whimpers

流過死沉沉的街巷

Through the dead streets

憂郁的眼睛

Melancholy eyes

凝望窗外鉛灰色的天空

Staring out of the window at the leaden sky

那里，日寇的刺刀

There, Japanese bayonets

閃爍著寒光

Flashing cold light

穿透了一個又一個

Through one after another

血色黃昏

Scarlet Nightfall

筆散落在地疲憊的手

Pen scattered on the ground, tired hands

緩緩地合攏胸前

Slowly close your chest

在遠處的鐘聲里

In the distant bell

默默為多難的華夏祈禱

Silently pray for the difficult Chinese

砰！

Bang!

一聲令人心悸的槍響

A terrifying shot

天空驟然抽搐

The sky jerked

慘白的弧線墜落

Falling in a pale arc

長城腳下

At the foot of the Great Wall

增添一道罪惡的血痕

Add a blood stain of sin

心在下沉

The heart is sinking.

那個因放飛白鴿

Because of releasing pigeons

倒在槍口下的孩子

A child who fell under the gun

大睜著

Wide open

一對善良天真的眼睛

A pair of kind and innocent eyes

那清澈的瞳仁里

In the clear pupil

正映著一只白鴿飛向藍天的身影

A white dove flying into the blue sky

如今在斯德哥爾摩

Now in Stockholm

和平獎的領獎臺上

On the podium of the peace prize

亦或

Or

紀念世界和平日的大會上

At the General Assembly commemorating world peace day

當人們把成千上萬只白鴿

When people put thousands of pigeons

拋向藍天時

When throwing into the blue sky

是否還記得那個

Do you remember that

因放飛白鴿而倒下的孩子

A child who fell for releasing pigeons

以及

as well as

騰空而去

Fly away

口含橄欖枝的和平白鴿

Peace dove with olive branch
