Cafés of the World
Morning light on marble tables
Steam is dancing in the air
A quiet room, a ticking watch
Ink and thoughts meet somewhere
Wooden chairs, old conversations
Every wall has learned to hear
All the words that once were written
By the ones who lingered here
I open up my notebook slowly
Like a door that knows my name
In cafés of the world I’m writing
From Berlin down to Vienna town
Salzburg nights, Parisian mornings
Words fall softly, pen goes down
Though my feet may touch the floor here
When I write, I’m everywhere
One small table, one notebook
And the whole wide world is there
Germany in winter whispers
Coffee strong, the pages warm
Austria hums in gentle swing-time
Shelter from the passing storm
Vienna teaches patience
Salzburg hands me quiet rhyme
Paris smiles in flowing sentences
Like it’s always known my time
Every city leaves a fingerprint
In the margins of my mind
In cafés of the world I’m writing
From old streets to foreign signs
Every cup a small beginning
Every line a crossing line
Though the world feels close and reachable
Train and plane, one ticket away
When I write, I travel deeper
Than any map could ever say
A notebook is a passport
No borders, no control
One sentence takes me further
Than my body ever goes
I sit still, the world keeps turning
Inside ink and paper sound
I don’t need to leave the table
To go walking all around
In cafés of the world I’m writing
Time slows down, the noise grows thin
Every place becomes a doorway
Letting other places in
In cafés of the world I’m writing
Everywhere and nowhere, too
If you ask me where I’ve been lately
I’ll say: inside a sentence or two
One last sip, the page still open
Even when I leave the chair
I fold the world into my notebook
And carry it from there

《世界的咖啡馆》
清晨的光落在大理石桌上
蒸汽在空气中轻轻起舞
安静的房间，滴答的手表
墨水与思绪在某处相遇
木椅低声诉说旧日谈话
每一面墙都学会了倾听
那些曾被写下的词句
来自曾在这里停留的人们
我慢慢打开我的笔记本
像一扇记得我名字的门
在世界的咖啡馆里写作
从柏林到维也纳城
萨尔茨堡的夜，巴黎的晨
词句轻落，笔尖停停
脚还站在此刻的地面
写作时，我无处不在
一张小桌，一本笔记
整个世界就在眼前
德国的冬天轻声低语
咖啡浓烈，纸页温暖
奥地利在柔和的节奏中低吟
为流逝的风暴提供庇护
维也纳教会我耐心
萨尔茨堡递来安静的韵脚
巴黎用流动的句子微笑
仿佛早已懂得我的时间
每一座城市
都在我心的页边留下指纹
在世界的咖啡馆里写作
从古老街道到陌生招牌
每一杯都是新的开始
每一行都是一次跨越
世界如此接近、触手可及
火车与飞机，只差一张票
而写作让我走得更深
比任何地图都要遥远
笔记本是一张护照
没有边境，没有检查
一句话就能带我更远
比身体所到之处还远
我静静坐着，世界仍在转动
在墨水与纸页的回声里
我不必离开这张桌子
也能走遍四方
在世界的咖啡馆里写作
时间放慢，喧嚣变薄
每一个地方都是一道门
让别的地方走进来
在世界的咖啡馆里写作
既在此处，也不在此处
若你问我最近去了哪里
我会说：在一两句话里
最后一口，纸页仍然敞开
即使我离开了座位
我把世界折进笔记本
然后带着它继续前行
