Above the azure void a jade peak pierces heaven
碧空之上,玉峰直插云霄
Ten thousand stone steps—a cage to reach the divine
万级石阶,是通向往圣的阶梯
Mist like gauze wraps ancient eaves in silence
薄雾如纱,寂静笼罩古檐
Wind-tossed bronze bells shatter slumber of ages
风动铜铃,惊破千年沉寂
Though I may never arrive my heart kneels as a ridge
纵使无缘抵达,我心已如崇山般虔跪
One step one bow toward your wordless snow realm
一步一叩,步向你无言的雪域
You are ice in silence I am ash still burning
你是寂静寒冰,我是余烬犹燃
Between sky and earth only this faint echo remains
天地之间,唯余此缕微弱回响
My fingertips brush sutras beneath frozen soil
我的指尖轻触冻土之下的经卷
My breath rises becoming clouds at the edge of sky
我的气息升腾凝成天边的云霭
A bird cuts past broken steles on the cliffside
飞鸟疾掠过悬崖边的残破石碑
Names long erased by wind and drifting sand
风沙早已抹去那些斑驳的姓名
Though I may never arrive my heart kneels as a ridge
纵使无缘抵达,我心已如崇山般虔跪
One step one bow toward your wordless snow realm
一步一叩,步向你无言的雪域
You are ice in silence I am ash still burning
你是寂静寒冰,我是余烬犹燃
Between sky and earth only this faint echo remains
天地之间,唯余此缕微弱回响
If gods have ears do they hear this murmur
若神明有耳,可曾听见这低语
If mountains have hearts do they recall these footprints
若山川有心,可曾记得这足迹
Though I may never arrive my heart becomes snowflakes
纵使此生难抵,我心化作雪花
Landing on your shoulder melting into your stillness
飘落你肩头,融于你的寂静
No reply needed no return required
无需回应,不必回望
The pilgrimage itself is my final surrender
这朝圣之旅,便是我最终的臣服
