最近偶然聽到的英文老歌,我著迷似地反覆播放著
讓聲響迴盪在我房間裡繚繞著,像古書裡隱暗的小房間般充滿故事
這是我新房裡的第一個情節…
《Whoever Find This,I Love You》
On the quiet street in the city A Little old man walked alone
Shuffing through the autumn afternoon
And the autumn leaves reminded him
Another summer’s come and gone
He had a long midnight ahead waiting for June
Then among the leaves near an orphan’s home
A piece of paper caught his eyes
And he stood to pick it up with trembling hands
And as he read the childish writing The old man began to cry
couse the words burued inside him like a brand
“Whoever finds this,I love you Whoever finds this I need you
I even got no one to talk to So,whoever finds this,I love you“
Well,the old man’s eyes searched the orphan’s home
And came to rest upon a child
With her nose pressed up against the windows psne
And the old man knew he’d found a friend at last
So he waved at her and smiled
And they both knew they’d spend the winter
Laughing at the rain
And they did spend the winter laughing at the rain,
Talking through the fence,
Exchanging Little gifts they’ve made for each other.
The old man would carve toys,
And the little girl would draw pictures of beautiful Ladies
And they Laughed a Lot.
But then one day,on the first of June.
The Little girl ran to the fence--the old man wans’t there.
And,somewho she knew he was never coming back.
So she went back to her little room,took a crayon And wrote:
“Whoever finds this,I love you Whoever finds this I need you
I even got no one to talk to So,whoever finds this,I love you“

《這撿到這張紙條 我愛你》
城內二條寂靜的街道上 一位老人踽踽獨行
打發著秋天無聊的午后
一地的落葉提醒著他 又是一個夏天來了;又去了…
在下一個六月來臨前 他還有無數孤獨的夜 需要度過
靠近孤兒院的一堆落葉中 老人發現了一張小紙條
他用顫抖的雙手撿起了紙條 當他讀著紙上稚嫩的筆跡時
淚水不禁掉了下來
因為那些話像火炬般地 在他心中炙烈的燃燒
“誰撿到這張紙條,我愛你 誰撿到這張紙條,我需要你
我甚到連個講話的人都沒有 所以,無論誰撿到這張紙條,我愛你“
於是老人的雙眼搜索著孤兒院 最後,停在一個小女孩兒上
小女孩的臉龐緊貼著玻璃
老人心裡想著: “我終於找到了一個朋友“
於是:含著笑向她招手 兩人都知道,他們將會在笑聲、雨聲中
度過這個寒冷的冬天
果真:隔著矮牆,他們在笑聲、雨聲中 度過了一個寒冷的冬天
他們彼此交換著親手做的小禮物
老人雕刻著玩具 小女孩則給他畫紙上的美女 他們是如此的喜悅…
直到有一天,恰巧就是六月的第一天 小女孩一如往常的跑向牆邊
老人卻沒有出現 剎那間她似乎知道,老人不會再回來了
於是她黯然地回到她的小房間 拿起蠟筆,又開始寫著:
“誰撿到這張紙條,我愛你 誰撿到這張紙條,我需要你
我甚到連個講話的人都沒有
所以,無論誰撿到這張紙條,我愛你“
