忘川
有一条小河叫忘川
喝了川水就忘了一切
忘了一切也忘了自己有一条小河叫记川
喝了川水就记起一切
记起一切也记起自己喝一口来那忘川的水
喝一口来自那记川的水
忘了一切又记起一切
English #1 – Forgetting River
There’s a river called Forgetting River
From which one drinks the water then forgets
Everything including him/herselfThere’s a river called Recalling River
From which one drinks the water then recalls
Everything including him/herselfTaking a sip from the Forgetting River
And taking another sip from the Recalling River
Forgetting all then recalling all
