竹筐
Bamboo basket
反光鏡,煞車
Reflector, working brakes
永遠不要忘記你的頭盔,可靠的安全帽
Never forget your helmet, trusty Mips
再見,我要去早市了
See ya, I'm off to the morning market
三十三個檸檬
Thirty-three lemons
看起來健康的雞
A healthy looking chicken
還有一打自由放養的雞蛋
And a dozen of free-range eggs
謝謝,零錢不用找了
Thanks, keep the change
吹口哨
Whistling a tune
噗噗
Pffffth
我在家
I'm home
多麼完美的一天
What a perfect day
我把床單掛在院子裡
I hang the sheets out in the yard
給我的烤盤上油
Oiled up my baking tray
想著關於你,媽媽
Thinking about you mother
背誦你的名言
To recite your famous words
你只需要鹽和胡椒
All you need are salt and pepper
品味人生的幸福,永遠
To taste the happiness of life, forever
然後月亮升起來了
Then the moon rose
和在烤箱裡咕嘟的奶油檸檬雞
And cream lemon chicken roasted in the oven
一群身穿黑衣的男人踢倒了我的前門
Men in black kicked down my front door
「嘿!誰?什麼?為什麼?」
"Hey, who, what, why?"
「你違反第 617 條法律--非法思想」
"You violated Act 617, illegal thoughts
「你被逮捕了」
You're under arrest"
你我都知道,這才是真正的理由:
We all know the real answer is
「你的出生就是一個過錯」
"You shouldn't have been born the way you were"
然後我們被塞進貨運火車上
And we're packed in a cargo choo-choo train
相互緊貼一個又一個與我相似的肉體
Squeezing against the bodies similar to me
我們一邊落淚
With tears rolling down our faces
一邊開始唱歌
We began to sing
「我們的靈魂永遠不會被他人掠奪」
(They can never take anything from our souls)
我們高聲而唱
Louder and louder
「我們的靈魂永遠不會被他人掠奪」
(They can never take anything from our souls)
我們高聲而唱
Louder and Louder
他們剃掉了我的頭髮
They shaved off my hair
餵我一嘴陌生的語言
Fed me a foreign language
往好處想(是嗎?)
Looking on the bright side (Yeah?)
我還活著,我還記得所有我愛過的人們
I'm alive, I still remember all the people I love
所以儘管向我而來吧,然後盡力做你最壞的事
So come at me and do your worst
所有這些小苦小痛
All this pain and suffer
要對抗我們如鋼鐵一般的心,是沒有勝算的
Don't stand a chance against our iron hearts
早晨來了又去
As the morning came and went
人們去而復來
And the people stayed and left
地球轉了又轉
And the Earth went 'round and around
星辰如此親切
The stars never looked so kind
晚風無比芬芳
The wind ever so fragrant
透過牆上的細縫
Through the tiny slit on the wall
每天晚上我都被邀請觀看
Every night I was invited to watch
被月光照亮的鳥兒們的夜間劇場
A theatre played by moonlit birds
他們展開羽翼
They spread their wings
承載著我們沉默的聲音
Carrying our silenced voices
唱響我們的歷史的歌曲
Singing our historic songs
讓未來的每一個人都知道
Letting everyone in the future know
我們曾經存在過
That we existed
多麼完美的夜晚
What a perfect night
我有股想寫書的衝動
I felt the urge to write a book
傳承我的生命
Pass down my life
直到最近,才覺得時間過得這麼快
Until recently, time didn't feel so fast
我聚集了在指尖的血液
With my bloody fingertip
我需要的只是小木棍和紙
All I needed were sticks and paper
我就足以開始創造詩句,一首又一首
I started to write poems after poems
然後月光下的鳥兒們來迎接我
Then the moonlit birds came to meet me
他們偷來了鑰匙,打開了大門
They snagged the key, and opened the gates
我們終於自由了
We're finally free
扶起我的自行車
I picked up my bicycle
騎著單車回家找媽媽
Riding home to mother
當我寫下腦中的妄想世界
Writing my delusion world
我看到了一種版本的天堂
I saw a version of heaven
我坐在院子裡的地方
Where I sat in my yard
閱讀我所撰寫的平裝書
Reading a paperback print of my book
在一座山坡上,你小小的拳頭緊握著汗水
On the hillside, your little fist clutching sweat
你走向紀念公園
Walking to the memorial park
獻上新鮮的白色菊花
You put down freshly cut white chrysanthemums
一位前思想警察摘下她的帽子
A former Thought Police lowers her hat
一群孩子躺在草地上
Children lying on the grass
口中唱著詩歌
Singing to poems, written
由我寫下的
By me
(嘟嘟嘟嘟)
(Du du du du)
