I've had just enough time... to take pity on the old house
Taken of the old house I chanced upon in Teluk Anson in Perak, Malaysia
I stood before the old house
And it just stood there
It knows it can stand longer
Than I can stare
It knows I have questions
It knows I care
About its history and
How it gets there
But it is not about to reveal
Its secret affairs
Why should it tell and
Why should it share?
When all these years
No one cares
It will take its secrets
To its grave
Bitter is the old house
That known despair

我站在老屋前
老屋竖立在那
知道它可持立
远比我可凝望
我有许多疑问
我在乎它的历史
它如何走来
但它不愿揭晓
它的私隐
这些年来
无人在乎
为何必须告知？
为何必须分享？
它宁可秘密
带到墓土里
唉！一所历经
辛酸的老屋
