A Gift For You

给你的礼物

Rumi

鲁米

图源见水印

You’ve no idea how hard I’ve looked for a gift to bring You.

你不知道

为你挑选一份礼物有多艰难

Nothing seemed right.

似乎

什么都不合适

What’s the point of bringing gold to the gold mine, or water to the Ocean.

为何

要送黄金 给金矿

送水 给海洋

Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient.

我想到的一切

都像是要带着香料去东方

It’s no good giving my heart and my soul because you already have these.

给你我的心脏

给你我的灵魂

都无济于事

因为

你已拥有

So- I’ve brought you a mirror.

所以我给你带来了

一面镜子

Look at yourself and remember me

看着你自己

记住我
