他愛光　有許多理由　視線從太陽離開的時候
他說　太陽是另一個陰影　月亮是另一團光

靈魂親近光明　身體甩不脫影子
時光是穿久的衣裳　再也脫不掉

丟失了時光的人開始驚慌　急著尋找
將它蓄滿風的穀倉　風過摩挲響
用自己的肩膀　撫平時光的憂傷

Xiaochi ZHANG: Light and Shadow
Percussion: Hsu CHANG, Xiaochi ZHANG / Little Giant Chinese Chamber Orchestra / Chih-Sheng Chen / National Concert Hall, Taipei, Taiwan 2016.1.26.

He loves light, for many reasons. When the sun cannot be seen, it becomes the shadow and the moon becomes the light. The soul longs for light but the body cannot shake off its shadow.

Time is like old worn clothes, never again to be removed. Those with little remaining time begin to panic, anxiously searching for more. The rustling wind caresses one's shoulders to soothe the sadness of time passed.
(Translation: Shiyan Zhang / Edit: Patty Chan)
