Listen to this article阿刁
住在西藏的壹个地方
秃鹫一样 栖息在山顶上
阿刁 大昭寺门前铺满阳光
打一壶甜茶 我们聊着过往阿刁 你总把自己打扮的像
男孩子一样 可比格桑还顽强
阿刁 狡猾的人有千百种笑
你何时下山 记得带上卓玛刀灰色帽檐下 凹陷的脸颊
你很少说话 简单的回答
明天在哪里 谁会在意你
即使死在路上阿刁 明天是否能吃顿饱饭
你已习惯 饥饿是一种信仰
阿刁 不会被现实磨平棱角
你不是这世界的人 没必要在乎真相命运多舛 痴迷 淡然
挥别了青春 数不尽的车站
甘于平凡却不甘平凡的腐烂
你是阿刁 你是自由的鸟灰色帽檐下 凹陷的脸颊
你很少说话 简单的回答
明天在哪里 谁会在意你
即使死在路上命运多舛 痴迷 淡然
挥别了青春 数不尽的车站
甘于平凡却不甘平凡的腐烂
你是阿刁
阿刁 爱情是粒悲伤的种子
你是一棵树 你永远都不会枯

Adiao (a girl’s name)
Adiao
Lives somewhere in Tibet,
Like a cinereous vulture,
Who inhabit the top of a mountain.
Adiao,
Sunshine is strewn all round the gateway of Jokhang Monastery,
Make a pot of sweet tea,
We are chatting about old times.
Adiao,
You always dress yourself up,
Like a boy,
As tenacious as Galsang flower(a kind of coreopsis).
Adiao,
Insincere people have thousands of types of smiles,
When will you go down the mountain,
Remember to take Zhuoma knife.
Under the gray hat brim,
Hollow cheek,
You seldom speak,
A brief answer,
Where is tomorrow,
And who’s gonna care for you?,
Even if you die on the way…
Accept and exile,
Puzzled and free,
Just like the wind,
Blowing over the bumpy road.
Endless footsteps are whirling around,
Footprints are going on slowly,
Or won’t leave even a trace here.
But I still won’t,
Abandon hope just because of pain,
Wounds have changed into scars,
And blossomed into flowers of incomparable beauty,
Wounds have changed into scars,
And blossomed into flowers of incomparable beauty.
Adiao,
Will you have a full meal tomorrow,
You’ve gotten used to it,
Loneliness becomes faith.
Adiao,
Won’t be worn away by reality,
You don’t belong to this world,
There’s no need to care about the truth.
Ill-fated,
Infatuated and composed
Waved goodbye to youth,
And countless stations,
Willing to be ordinary but unwilling,
To accept the ordinary failure,
You are adiao,
You are a free bird.
Ill-fated,
Infatuated and composed
Waved goodbye to youth,
And countless stations,
Willing to be ordinary but unwilling,
To accept the ordinary failure,
You are adiao…
Adiao,
Love is a sad seed,
You are a tree,
You will never perish.

English #2 – A Diao (A girl’s name)
Living in somewhere of Tibet,
Like a vulture, inhabiting a mountain top.
A Diao, enjoy the sunshine pouring before the Jokhang Temple.
Let’s make a pot of sweet tea and talk about the old days.A Diao, you always dress like a boy,
How tenacious you are! More than the Galsang flower.
A Diao, insincere people wear multiple fake smiles.
Were you to descend into the outside world, be sure to carry a Zhuoma sword.Shabby grey hat, hollow sunken cheek,
You’re mostly silent, brief answers at times.
Where would tomorrow be? Who would care for you?
Even if you lie dead on the road…A Diao, Can you get a full meal tomorrow?
Though you are already used to hunger, it begets faith, right?
A Diao, Life can’t force you to change.
You don’t belong there, don’t be caught up in those truths.Suffered, obsessed, composed, what next?
Waved goodbye to youth, to countless stations behind.
Settled for ordinariness, but not rot in dullness.
You are A Diao, you are free like a bird!Shabby grey hat, hollow sunken cheek,
You’re mostly silent, brief answers at times.
Where would tomorrow be? Who would care for you?
Even if you lie dead on the road…Suffered, obsessed, composed, what next?
Waved goodbye to youth, to countless stations behind.
Settled for ordinariness, but not rot in dullness.
You are A Diao!A Diao, love may be a seed of sadness.
And you are a tree, that never withers.
