English Translation:

“By Chance” by Xu Zhimo (translated by Ling-Ling Shih)

I am a cloud in the sky,

By chance casting a shadow on the ripples of your heart!

Don’t be surprised,

Nor should you be overjoyed.

I will soon vanish without a trace.

You and I met in the dark sea;

You have your direction and I have mine.

Remember if you will,

Better yet if you forget

The spark we exchanged in our encounter.
