我妈给我这本书
I went to my mother who gave me this book called…
“年轻诗人书札”黎尔克着
“Letters To a Young Poet”by Rainer Maria Rilke.
他是名作家
He’s a fabulous writer.
有人写信问他
A fellow used to write to him and say,
“我要当作家 请读我的诗”
“I want to be a writer. Please read my stuff.”
黎尔克回覆那人
And Rilke says to this guy,
“不要问我当作家的事”
“Don’t ask me about being a writer.
“你醒来时若是只想到写作”
If, when you wake up in the morning, you can think of nothing but writing…
“那么你就是作家”
then you’re a writer.”
我也照这样对你说
I’m gonna say the same thing to you.
如果你醒来时只想到唱歌♥
If you wake up in the morning and you can’t think of anything but singin’ first,
