Han Dong （韩东）
The train came from far away
You were the girl sitting in the carriage
Going far from the city where I was, or coming back
Separated by the dark night
I sat up in bed
Waiting for your return
You asked your parents if you could take the time
It was a long time, and so sweet!
Galvanised by the rolling of the train wheels,
I sometimes longed to speed to you
The wind gusted from far away and, far away, subsided
The fierce whistle turned to gentle smoke
Wafting toward me
When the train came from far away
Because of the distance, it meandered
Because of the night, it sounded sweet
Because of you, I saw the scenery was lovely
（1995）
