自译：          《那一天》

                    That One Day

那一天

我闭目在经殿香雾中

with aromatic incense

蓦然听见 你诵经中的真言

Suddenly l heard your words in chanting

我摇动所有转经筒

not for transgression

只为触摸你的指尖

but only a touch of your fingerprint

That one year

我磕长头拥抱尘埃

那一世

That one lifetime

我翻遍十万大山

but to encountering you on my way

（个别用词参照网上翻译，不到之处，烦有心人提出）

Plus: transgression: release souls          from purgatory; samsara: endless cycle  of birth and death.
