Life
《生活》
Life, you’re so broad, like a road
生活,你多么宽广,像道路
carrying the smell of political power rushing on to a place far-off
带着政权的气味赶往远方
The far-off place, where the people of all nationalities sing
远方,各族人民在歌唱
about a blue sky and a square on the top of big lips and high-pitched voices
大嘴唇、尖声音,加上蓝天和广场
The square, where endless and dejected farmers are reared
广场呀,生长着漫长而颓唐的农业
over the four seasons, voracity or starvation loiter
饕餮或饥饿在四季里彷徨
Everything is far off, nothing is of any importance
一切皆遥远,一切皆无关
life itself, death itself, enthusiasm of itself
热情的自身,死的自身,生活的自身
Like a little orphaned son sitting alone on the earth
像一个小孤儿子独坐大地
like an undernourished cloud, like oh…
像缺乏营养的云,像啊……
Like life, just stripping bamboo, destroying rice, killing pigs
像生活,干脆就剥竹、毁稻、杀猪
like living, only in your sleep, squaring accounts in your sleep
像生活,干脆就在睡眠中,睡梦中清帐
