Stand

Trns. by John Balcom

You ask where I stand, in silence
I look up at the birds in the sky and refuse
TO reply, among the crowd we breathe the same
Air, standing we experience happiness and
sadness
But on this same piece of ground we

See things differently, at the same time
We see the crowds passing by
On both sides of the street. If we forget our
Different directions, I will answer you
That all people walk in their homeland.

 

立場

你問我立場,沈默地
我望著天空的飛鳥而拒絕
答腔,在人群中我們一樣
呼吸空氣,喜樂或者哀傷
站著,且在同一塊土地上

不一樣的是眼光,我們
同時目睹馬路兩旁,眾多
腳步來來往往。如果忘掉
不同路向,我會答覆你
人類雙腳所踏,都是故鄉
