Your Name
Ji Xian
I’m getting gently calling your name
With the lowest lowest voice in the world.
And every every night I write it down,
And mark your name.
In my dream your name is a beaming name:
Like the sun, like a star, your name.
Like a lamp, like a diamond, your name.
Your name is like colorful fireworks, like lighting;
Your name is like the primitive forest on fire;
Carve your name—
Carve your name on the tree.
Carve your name on the ever-lasting tree of life;
When it grows up, big and tall,
Ah, ah, how wonderful, how wonderful!
By that time your name will have grown big and striking.
It becomes well-known, your name.
It becomes great, your name.
And I’m gently gently gently gently gently calling your name.
