If Love is Fire, Change is Wind; She Loved Me, I Loved Her Sometimes; 和 沼泽峰：安提瓜 作者：Shalom Bloodman

If Love is Fire, Change is Wind 

If love is fire, change is wind.
它微妙而缓慢地蔓延，
浓烟从坑里冒出来
A pool of flames set near your feet.
You hope 和 pray the flames will last,
You laugh, converse, enjoy the night.
A love like this has come to past,
没有意识到即将到来的恐惧.

If love is fire, change is wind,
使劲地吹，使劲地吹.
The flames we knew are now thinned,
As we face the winds that scarred.

We hold on tight 和 try to weather
The gusts that threaten to extinguish forever.
Our love that once burned bright 和 true,
Now flickers weakly, a painful hue.

The storm has passed, the fire grows.
我们看着彼此的眼睛
And see the fire within our souls.
Subtle 和 slow, our flames rise.

With heart ablaze for her or him,
Hold them close 和 keep them warm.
If love is fire, change is wind,
Let love light shine through windy storm.

She Loved Me, I Loved Her Sometimes

She loved me, 和 I loved her sometimes.
当然，她不会知道的.
My face says I’d rather be elsewhere,
My heart screams I love it here.

She loved me, 和 I loved her sometimes.
Gas lighting starts a fire within,
不是愤怒，而是激情；
A fire that situates in her heart.

She loved me, 和 I loved her sometimes.
Is it weird that if she came 和 sat near,
Her presence would be embraced?
当然，只是在我的脑海里.

She loved me, 和 I loved her sometimes.
她把我当成一个谜
我只是很痛苦，
The puzzle of grief we must solve.

She loved me, 和 I loved her sometimes.
Our connection, a tangled web of emotions,
Your mind veiled in a carefully crafted facade,
Mine burdened by the weight of your love for another.

She loved me, 和 I loved her sometimes.
I hoped that sometime in the future,
我们都能找到实质
在如此难以捉摸的爱情里.
She loved me, 和 I loved her sometimes.

沼泽峰：安提瓜

这样的自然奇观，
高高耸立在岛上，
Its majestic beauty doesn’t get old,
Its lush greenery, will leave a smile.

As one ventures through the forest,
Through ferns that carpet the forest floor,
A myriad of wonders, you’re sure to witness,
Vines cascade from trees, 和 more.

当你沿着蜿蜒的小径跋涉时，
Indigenous fruit trees come into view,
Juicy mangoes, sweet 和 pale,
酸酸的sop，一种如此真实的愉悦.

Birds 和 Monkeys playfully sing,
Amidst the canopy of leaves 和 vines,
Scent of guava, a fragrant offering,
Nature’s orchestra beautifully aligns.

The journey to the summit, a test of will,
With panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea,
These rewards at the top, you’ll savor still,
A sight to behold, is what you’ll see.

The sparkling waters stretching far 和 wide,
A euphoric reminder of nature’s power,
A breathtaking vista, impossible to hide,
As one sits in awe atop this tower.

当太阳投下金色的色彩，
从沼泽峰向下眺望，
它呈现出一种神奇的景色，
A natural wonder, inspiring 和 unique.
