Shi Zhi (1948-) Cigarette



燃起的香烟中飘出过未来的幻梦,
蓝色的云雾是挣扎过希望的黎明。
而如今这烟缕却成了我心中的愁绪,
汇成了低沉的含雨未落的云层。


我推开明亮的玻璃窗,
迎进郊外田野的清风。
多想留住飘散的烟缕——
那是你向我告别的身影。

Cigarette

From the embers of your cigarette
My future dreams floated by
From the blue haze it cast
My struggling hopes were dawning
But now, that cigarette smoke
Is the sadness in my heart
Looming like a low cloud
Gorged with rain.

I have pushed open
The bright window pane
To let in the breeze
From the fields outside
But long did I keep
That lingering smoke :
It was the shadow
Of you leaving me.

Gu Cheng - A tiny wish

微微的希望

我和无数
不能孵化的卵石
垒在一起

蓝色的河溪爬来
把我们吞没
又悄悄吐出

没有别的
只希望草能够延长
它的影子


A tiny wish

Among the many
Stone eggs which never hatch
I am stacked

The blue stream crawls by
And swallows us
And softly spits us out

Nothing else
Just one wish, let the grass extend
Its shadow

Duo Duo (1951 - ) - Young girl polka

少女波尔卡

同样的骄傲,同样的捉弄
这些自由的少女
这些将要长成皇后的少女
会为了爱情,到天涯海角
会跟随坏人,永不变心
                 

Young girl polka

Same pride, same tricks
Those free young girls
Those girls that will be queens
For love, will go over the world
Following bad boys, never changing

Tian XiaoQing (1953-) - Dead

死亡

他们谈论你
像谈论一个已故的人

你就这样死了
在故事的复述中
在语言的十字架上
你一次又一次地死去

你就这样死了
手中紧攥着伤口
像攥着一个秘密

Dead

They spoke of you
Like they speak of the past

This is how you died
In the folds of a story
On a cross of words
You died and died again

This is how you died
Your hand holding your wound
Like one holds a secret
