I spent three months in Grenoble, the capital of the 法国阿尔卑斯山脉. One of my intentions during my time 宝博体育 was to explore the constants in life — the things that would remain even as everything around me changed. I wrote this poem on my last evening in 法国, as I reflected on what I had learned from the places, 人, and moments that I encountered.
ce que les montagnes m’ont appris
les montagnes restent immobiles
elles embrassent notre petite ville
dans une chanson constante et douce
voici ce qu’elles disent:
在一次改变中.
在est上
Quand i plet
Quand将会消失
quand le vent souffle les feuilles des arbres
在est上
在est上
Quand tu esseulesur
Quand tues随从
quand tu marches la nuit et oublies qu’on existe
在est上
tu marcheras dans la vie
et même si tout autour de toi change—
même si tu laisses tout ce que tu as connu
你decouvriras
愿你永不改变.
what the mountains taught me
the mountains stand still
they embrace our little city
in a constant and quiet song
this is what they say—
我们不会改变
我们在这里
当下雨的时候
当下雪的时候
when the wind blows the leaves from the trees
我们在这里
我们在这里
当你孤独的时候
when you are surrounded
when you walk in the night and forget we exist
我们在这里
you will walk through life
and even in everything around you changes—
even if you leave everything you’ve ever known
你会发现
我们不会改变
