【Aiden in English】 People of Earth always rumor About the stars above with humor Yet all the people do not understand Why they never reach out a helping hand.
Upon looking up, I see The very stars staring down at me Albeit the beauty and glimmering shine They have not spoken from their own confines.
Rolling up the issues of life The stars beyond walk strife for strife How fast I try, each star Remains a-watching from afar.
Finally I stopped, my legs growing tired And realize the time is about expired, I stoop low, depressed, but surprisingly see A bright, glowing star on a Christmas tree.
It simply sat there, without a word Up top the tree, like a bird. Desperately grasping, I asked for a way A way to reach the stars far away
Kneeling at the feet of its roots I stared at snow around my boots. Looking up, for one last time I heard the faintest of a chime.
The Christmas star shined a light A lightway up, a beam so bright The stars answered its lingering call Seemingly silent, they began to fall.
And I asked a wish. A Christmas wish. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【紅霞譯】
地球人常愛笑談 天上的星辰， 有誰知道 它們總是避而遠之。
舉目仰望，只見 星星正俯視着我， 晶瑩透亮 勝過萬語千言。
生命歷經雪雨風霜， 同行的星星爭相競艷。 我疾速追趕，每顆星 依舊咫尺天涯。
終於我停住腳步，雙腿乏力 方覺芳華漸逝， 我垂頭彎腰，卻驚見 聖誕樹上群星點綴。
聖誕之星盤坐枝頭，靜默無語 樹頂那顆像只鳥兒， 我使勁去夠，想辦法 抓住遙不可及的星星。
我蹲在聖誕樹前， 目光投向腳下白雪。 再舉目眺望，最後一次 耳邊隱約傳來風鈴歌唱。
聖誕之星劃出一道光芒 耀眼奪目， 星辰暗淡迷朦， 不知不覺地，悄然離去。
我期盼繁星璀璨， 一個聖誕節的心願。 Today in History(歷史上的今天): 2014: The Party of Electronics(電子遊戲聚會) 2013: Chaaya Island, Maldives(馬爾代夫夢幻島) 2012: Santiago—City of the Island, Chile(智利聖地亞哥—島山之城) 2010: 節日期待(Holiday Anxiety) 2009: 新西蘭陶波湖區(Lake Taupo, NZ)
