Today Poem by Haiqing Hua

今天
Today

这曾经是中国诗歌的一个符号
It uses to be a symbol of the Chinese poetry
但是那已经是昨天了
But it has become yesterday already
甚至是昨天的昨天
Even it is the day before yesterday
一件事情
One matter
你把它完成了
You accomplished it
就这样了
That is it

我们每人都有很多的今天
Every one of us has many todays
有时是美丽美好的一天
Some time it is a beautiful nice day
有时可以是沮丧失败的一天
Some time it may be awfully bad failed
可是不管怎么说
But no matter what you think
今天总是要过的
We must live through today
而且今天总是会过去的
And today will always pass
因为明天又是另外一天
As tomorrow will be another day

另外一个今天
Another today
可以完全相同
It may be completely the same
也可以完全不同
It can also be completely different
但是总的来说
But after all
我们会做出改变
We will make some changes
不一定变得更好
Not necessarily become better
也不一定变得更糟
It might not become worse

就像你有两只眼睛
Just like you have two eyes
你可以全部睁开
You can open all of them
你也可以把它们都闭上
You can also close them all
这取决于你自己
It is all up to yourself
与我无关
It has nothing to do with me

今天或者明天或者后天或者前天
Today or tomorrow or the day after or the day before
都没有关系
It has nothing to do with each other
那里来的逻辑
Where is the logic
生活没有逻辑
Life has no logic
生活在流淌滚动
Life is flowing and rolling
就是这样
That is it

你又能怎样?
So what?
