One leaf falls
Over one night only one leaf falls
Over the four seasons of a year, each night a leaf falls
A leaf fell
Fell. Can’t hear a sound
like someone who’s been alone for a long time, and after died.
trans. Eleanor Goodman and Wang Ao
《低调》
宇向
一片叶子落下来
一夜之间只有一片叶子落下来
一年四季每夜都有一片叶子落下来
叶子落下来
落下来。听不见声音
就好像一个人独自呆了很久,然后死去
(Read Eleanor Goodman's interview with Yu Xiang here.)
Lovely.
