THE LAUGHTER I COULD NOT HOLD
落日 The setting sun
对着 Faces
一大群人围观的讲台 A multitude around the stage
讲台上捏拳的演说者 The speaker gestures with his fist
说得连公园里的椰树 And the coconut trees in the park
都不停点头 Nod as they listen.
假如海湾的落日 The setting sun over the bay
是我睁开的一只眼睛 Is my opening eye
哗然的海浪 And the rolling waves
便是我忍不住的大笑 Are the laughter I could not hold
