It's all ordinary experience,

都是平常经验，

All ordinary images.

都是平常影像，

By chance they emerge in a dream,

偶然涌到梦中来，

Turning out infinite new patterns.

变幻出多少新奇花样！

It's all ordinary feelings,

都是平常情感，

All ordinary words.

都是平常言语，

By chance they encounter a poet,

偶然碰着个诗人，

Turning out infinite new verses.

变幻出多少新奇诗句！

Once intoxicated, one learns the strength of wine,

醉过才知酒浓，

Once smitten, one learns the power of love:

爱过才知情重；

You cannot write my poems

你不能做我的诗，

Just as I cannot dream your dreams.

正如我不能做你的梦。
