Rainy Night

(based on the poem 雨夜 by Liu Xia)

She is walking in the rain
Alone and crying
No one knows why she cries
The rain freezes her face
The rain freezes her heart
Spirits are drifting across the town
Slowly and lightly
They are smiling mysteriouly
Perhaps it is a good idea
To invite them home for a cup of hot tea
Diluting the sadness of the rain
Please stop crying and go home
To have a dream and be killed in the dream
The spirits will cover you with a piece of grey cloth
Happily seeing you away
To hell or to heaven
She is walking in the rain
Alone and crying
No one knows why she cries
