Farewell

Cesar came
Mighty empire he built
Deserted ruins stand gazing
Alone every marching road

Gunshots toward the sky
Screams echo around us
They’re celebrating our leaving
Women with black veil
Silently they watch
Deep are their eyes
Kids with crowbars tearing the base’s gate
Fine material to replace blown up roof

Immerse in the cold desert
As far as eyes can see
It swallowed a few drops of my blood
Pieces of flesh from some one I called
Brothers
And no doubt
A lot strangers and
Distant broken hearts
My accomplishments I guess

Dry white tumble weeds fly in the sandstorm
Black smoke line with brown jeeps
Fare thee well
Arms
I’m done with you

sophie

die Sonne scheinen noch
eine weiße Roseblutung
wie sie vom freien durchbrennenwind träum

ruins

Pale moon hang above deserted city
faded fresco on crumbled walls
murmuring
dead tunes of love and desire
drifting sands carrying dry grasses
burying dried bones and pavements
echoed footsteps of caravans
glistening snow
caress purple mountains towering
in silence

every grain of sand-bob dylan

Every Grain Of Sand
In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
在我懺悔時，在我最需時
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
當我足下淚池淹沒每一新生種子
There’s a dyin’ voice within me reaching out somewhere
內心一瀕死聲音伸向某處
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair
在危險與絕望中道德的苦工
Don’t have the inclination to look back on any mistake
沒有回顧任何錯誤的傾向
Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break
如肯恩，現在我注視這我必須擊毀的事務枷鎖
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master’s hand
在憤怒時刻我可見主之手
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand
在每一顫慄葉片，在每一粒沙中
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear
阿，沉溺的花朵與昨日野草
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer
如罪犯，它们讓良知與善意歡呼窒息
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
太陽曬著時光階梯照亮路途
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay
舒緩懶人痛楚與腐敗記憶
I gaze into the doorway of temptation’s angry flame
我注視誘惑怒火的入口
And every time I pass that way I always hear my name
每次經過那總聽到我的名字
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
然後在旅程中我理解
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand
每一毛髮如每一沙粒被定數
I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
在夜晚憂傷中我由貧困轉富裕
In the violence of a summer’s dream, in the chill of a wintry light
在夏季夢境的狂暴中，在一道冬光寒冷中
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space
在消逝入空間的苦澀孤寂舞蹈中
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face
在每一被遺忘面孔上純真的破鏡上
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
我傾聽如海移動之古老足聲
Sometimes I turn, there’s someone there, other times it’s only me
有時我轉身，有人在那，其餘時間只有我
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
我在人類現實的平衡中擺盪
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
如每一墜落麻雀，如每一沙粒

最後的花朵

飄浮在蔚藍海洋之上
這曾經是蓋亞大陸的一角
各式各樣動物與人在綠野中自由生活
部落散居出現
在廝殺中結合成國家
在敵意中劃分民族
精神文明在哲學層次探討真理
在超越層次追求宗教
在美層次上創造藝術
也在恐懼與仇恨中更新武器
直到僅存的野花綠草恣意生長
在佈滿殘骸的廢墟中

elite

They measured
The color of your eyes
Your hair
Your skin
The size of your head
Your score is minored by your defection
From the purity of your racial blood line
Down to the background of your family
That’s how they classified you
To be one of the elite or
The inferior group

Be strong
Be merciless
Be the ruler to all
Be the slave of the führer
Devour your enemies
Devour your feelings
Devour your soul

light-clear and far away

“Let there be light”
the chains of command bring order
down
to
the fingers that pull the triggers
the toy soldiers
start shooting madly calmly
into the lair of the faithful invisible
merrily we watch the sky painted
red lines of fire
across the distance
seemingly cold stars
millions of them
burn like carnival” some one said
just like the sun

Cold is the sun here in the desert
pale light from icy space
winter with no snow
just sands and wind
the sandstorm turns us into shapeless phantoms
fear push sweat out biting my uniforms
white salt formed on the collar and rifle butt
shine like diamonds

秋

火染禾黃
蟬吟露白
月明擾夢驚遊魂
鄉愁無路越關山

walls

the ancient Chinese built lots of great wall
they thought it could block the barbarians
strong is their faith
communist build a wall to keep their liberated citizens from escaping
the west such a corrupted hell
there are walls in the holy land
there are walls in the land of the free

angry teens see wall everywhere
wall that keep them in the hopeless slum
wall that keep them out of their Great expectation, so
they burn they hit they curse
they try to crash the invisible wall
electric signals communicate people in seconds
we build wall around us
making us isolated islands
we are walls

乾季

乾涸水庫
重現古老殘破的石版屋
窗 以漆黑眼神 向
沉默的枯樹吞吐
遙遠記憶

母親與孩子互相撫慰淤血傷痕
沉睡的父親擁抱著空乾酒瓶
集中營群眾緩步走向
噴出黑煙的無水浴室
穿著筆挺軍服的武士
冷靜的注視杯中搖蕩的寶石紅
高喊真主至上的戰士
在飛揚風沙中揮舞槍托
試圖解放不再乾渴的枯骸

城市

張開兩片閃爍雙翼
在引力與星空吸引中保持平衡
它準時劃過冰冷天際軌道
快速開閤的單眼 注視 記錄
沾粘在綠色島嶼上的崎嶇水泥塊
烈日溫柔蒸騰
飄浮的巨廈 顫動
如水中的幻象

滾動的水柱從柔軟瀝青破洞 放肆噴射
緊閉車窗中 封鎖詛咒 伴隨
鏽蝕的排氣管 各自吐出黑 白 煙霧
彩繪塗鴉的河堤外
乾涸龜裂的水岸
散佈著黑色泥潭
幾尾殘存的魚擁擠翻滾
吞吐著白沫互相撫慰

銀幕中銷售著真愛密碼
宣教士分送神愛世人的訊息
赤裸上身的遊民靜臥在公園草坪
外傭女孩對著手機向故鄉傳情
手輕搖茫然捲曲在輪椅上的老人
麻雀輕巧跳動啄食四散的垃圾
空蕩蕩的音樂台陰影下
兩個男孩擁抱在閃亮汗水中

幾輛靈車花枝招展在車陣中緩慢流動
盛裝女郎高聲向星空歌唱 關於
今宵與明日的期盼

壊れた海岸

雑草の残渣は、孤独の心は、波が継続する。

觀畫

西沉日染紅霞晚
垂柳留風
低迎碧波
牧童平橋隨犢歸

The proud suicidal maniac-craving

At hitting the wall
the pain
flows through his body like
electric current
warmly
trembles as
he stood by the edge
the temptation to jump the fear
brings strange kinds of ecstasy

The outbreak of war
fulfils so many peoples' longing
willingly he puts on the shining uniform, packed
with all sorts of fancy weapons
brave was he
as they fought through the dragging war
“Unharmed except a few bruises, nothing much but daily patrols”
that’s the words he sends back

Wandered idly
among alien eyes
on distant sands
the camel outside the bazaar
cried at the barking dogs
she walked towards the check point
both of them were searching as their
young innocent eyes met
dressed in the aged old white gown
like a bride
with a clean smile
she pulled the trigger
a small piece of bombshell cuts through his heart
I wonder
if he finally got the great expectation he craves for
that ordinary day, or
just the usual boldness as
the blankness of his eyes

勇気

深刻な洪水
グラスが壊れていない
弱小鳥ができる
亀裂で生き残るためにも

浪花

山谷中高粱如翠綠海浪
在金色溫暖陽光下搖蕩
隨風飄送出陪伴著淡淡香氣的稚氣歌詠
她和玩伴在青紗帳中躲貓貓
在母親呵護下遠離遠方混亂的世界

跨海而來的烈日快速灼傷大地
他倉皇放棄書中夢鄉
穿上沾黏新舊血跡
殘留陌生名牌的過大軍服
防禦 攻擊 轉進
青春在生死存亡中隨著軍靴流動 消逝

勝利的狂喜與未來的期盼同樣 短 暫
陳年戰火在親友同胞間重新點燃
她在恐懼母親牽引下離開故鄉
他隨敗退兵車碾過城垣
命運硬將兩人捲成一體

翻騰白浪在黯淡黑水溝上咆哮
無盡期的夢魂 思念 穿越
隔絕的 相似的 仇恨符號
新生命的成長伴隨孕育者的歲月刻痕
改變 撫慰 異鄉人 哀 愁

和平曙光帶她再度穿越海峽
四散的殘餘手足 無語相對
她輕捧沉睡的母親走近大河
淚水 灰燼 伴隨浪潮 流向永恆

觀畫

紅日半隱
垂柳對波紋
平橋曳馬夕靄歸
一蝶戲舞信香中

thrasher

They were hiding behind hay bales,
They were planting in the full moon
They had given all they had for something new
But the light of day was on them,
They could see the thrashers coming
And the water shone like diamonds in the dew.

And I was just getting up, hit the road before it's light
Trying to catch an hour on the sun
When I saw those thrashers rolling by,
Looking more than two lanes wide
I was feelin' like my day had just begun.

Where the eagle glides ascending
There's an ancient river bending
Down the timeless gorge of changes
Where sleeplessness awaits
I searched out my companions,
Who were lost in crystal canyons
When the aimless blade of science
Slashed the pearly gates.

It was then I knew I'd had enough,
Burned my credit card for fuel
Headed out to where the pavement turns to sand
With a one-way ticket to the land of truth
And my suitcase in my hand
How I lost my friends I still don't understand.

They had the best selection,
They were poisoned with protection
There was nothing that they needed,
Nothing left to find
They were lost in rock formations
Or became park bench mutations
On the sidewalks and in the stations
They were waiting, waiting.

So I got bored and left them there,
They were just deadweight to me
Better down the road without that load
Brings back the time when I was eight or nine
I was watchin' my mama's T.V.,
It was that great Grand Canyon rescue episode.

Where the vulture glides descending
On an asphalt highway bending
Thru libraries and museums, galaxies and stars
Down the windy halls of friendship
To the rose clipped by the bullwhip
The motel of lost companions
Waits with heated pool and bar.

But me I'm not stopping there,
Got my own row left to hoe
Just another line in the field of time
When the thrashers comes, I'll be stuck in the sun
Like the dinosaurs in shrines
But I'll know the time has come
To give what's mine.
Thrasher by Neil Young
1979年沾粘在血汗淚的泛白軍服
如同退色青春的狂妄夢想
在生命巨輪下割裂
由碧藍晴空踏入無盡黑暗
酒酣耳熱的童黨
我們將如何重新面對面？
我有何權利報怨？
腐蝕的鏽痕終將徹底崩解心靈與肉體
陽光下嘻戲的女孩 如同燦爛午後陽光
在紅霞下朝空蕩蕩教室 吐出最終純真迴音
