Bitter Is The Old House That Known Despair (老屋的辛酸)

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

 

Turning the Circle of Life

I've has just enough time to...   continue turning the Circle of Life

Taken while strolling through the small streets of Kuching, Sarawak

The years went round in a circle that never ends

The old man turns another wheel

Another of the many he had turned

He has seen many circles

And live in many of them

But the one big circle

He travels is now coming to an end

But until that circle is complete

There are still more wheels to turn

And he keeps turning them

_______

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life

Elton John - Circle of Life
