聆聽

Listening to Nature

2016 臺中國家歌劇院 Taichung Metropolitan Opera House

---

土地孕育聆聽萬物的耳，
化作孩子們舞臺的夢。

水滴飽滿如樂音滑過耳畔，
音符舞動的旋律
是七彩色光的變幻。

夜裡，
青蛙拉著提琴、貓頭鷹吹著黑管，
聆聽公雞拍打低音鼓的節奏，
星空踏著天籟的舞曲旋轉。

土地孕育聆聽萬物的耳，
孩子們，
站在夢的舞臺上…

The earth nurtures ears that listen to all,
Forming children’s dreams of the stage

Water drops resonate through the ears like music
Notes dancing cross the melody
Shifting like rainbow colored lights.

In the night,
The frog plays the violin as the owl plays the clarinet,
Listening to the rooster’s rhythm on the bass drum,
The stars twirl to the music of nature.

The earth nurtures ears that listen to all,
The children,
Stand on the stage of dreams…
