今夜，弦唱让天堂近在咫尺

靳玉莲


我们相信
这个世界是连通的
那妙音天籁
就是住在你我心灵的生活家园
那弦与弦的相聚
也是心与心的交融和碰撞

古典吉他的韵律
绕梁三日依回味
具有浓郁东方韵味的茉莉花
在秋日的敦煌
如期悄然绽放

那弦与弦轻快的欢唱

好似人间天堂

莫勒的琴音
撩过琴弦的魔指
清醇的音质
如泣如诉的轮指
铮铮琮琮 珠落玉盘
泉水一般淌过心田
敞开心灵的大门
眼潮心润
玛利亚不相信眼泪
灵性的音乐
行走在如歌的岁月

被遗忘的梦里
有美好的祝福
有落叶缤纷
有昙花一现
有春风化雨
有五谷丰登
岁月可以带走青春
可以带走回忆
带不走的是

一份心情
一份淡然

一份眷恋
在无数的陌生背后
终于找到了真实的自我
抬头 云端

有一队鸿雁

英译：Tonight, the string singing makes heaven close at hand by jin yu lian

We believe

the world is connected

the sound of nature

is to live in the heart of your home

the string meets string

it is also the blending and collision

of heart and heart

The rhythem of a classical guitar

has rung the beam for three days ,still linger

jasmine flowers with strong Oriental charm

in the autumn of DunHuang

scheduled quietly blooming

the string and string sang merrily

it is like heaven on earth

Moller’s guitar sound

the magic finger that flirts on the string

pure sound quality

wheezing tremolo

clank, the pearl falling on the jade plate

as the spring flows over the heart

open the door of your mind

eyes and heart are moist

Maria doesn’t believe in tears

spiritual music

walking in years“Cantabile” .

In the forgotten dreams

there are good wishes

there is “flower petals perpetually

moving in the air”

there is“the nocturnally blossoming desert flower”

there is “the spring breeze turns the rain”

there is “grains at harvest is the farmer joy”

years can take away youth

can take away memories

what it can not be taken is

a mood

an indifference

a sentimental attachment

in countless strange backside

finally found the true myself

head up, clouds

a row of “swan geese”
