雪國 - 周國賢 Übersetzung ins Englische

雪國

來讚頌人民革命 相信它你必有永久保證
來信任大人指令 定神聽別人訓導怎去自主 極生性
豎起雙耳極沉靜 無知覺 冷冰冰
拜跪神像長期在朝聖

如此失聰的我也能忘記我
望向天 雪花飛
沉默低首一切極諧和
被禁 那一首情歌
在唱又唱像提示著我本來愛什麼
原本的我是 太囉唆

齊朗背十條戒例 請你相信它會豐足你一世
腦袋的污垢清洗 就能夠長期免疫下人疾苦 極尊貴
盡忠守信大皇帝
無心聽 耳根靜
繼續麻木地每天朝聖

誰知失聰的我也能忘記我
望向天 雪花飛
沉默低首一切極諧和
若果 寫一首情歌
在唱又唱像提示著我私藏血肉嗎
原本的我發熱暖和光

請 別觀看 外邊一切極糜爛
極繽紛 太災難
過活還是最好無期盼

如此失聰的我猝然忘記我
下半生 冷冰冰
聾又啞般於市集呆坐
或許 你想唱情歌
亦記住切勿提及著你感情叫什麼
來擠熄眼內那把火
無聲之中觀看 災禍

Snow Country

Come, sing praises to the people's revolution—believe in it, and you shall have an eternal guarantee.
Come, trust the guidance of the authorities—listen intently to the instructions of others, and how to be self-reliant—be extremely subservient.
Raise your ears and listen with extreme attentiveness—become numb and cold.
Bow down to the idols and engage in long-term pilgrimage.

In this state of deafness, I have also forgotten myself.
Looking up at the sky, snowflakes are falling.
Silently lowering my head, everything seems extremely harmonious.
That love song is forbidden.
Singing it over and over again, it reminds me of what I once loved.
My original self was too talkative.

Recite the ten commandments together—please believe that they will enrich your life forever.
Cleanse the filth from your mind, and you will be immune to the suffering of commoners—oh, how noble!
Be loyal and faithful to the emperor.
My mind is empty, my ears are tranquil.
Continue to numbly go on a pilgrimage every day.

Who would have thought that in this state of deafness, I would also forget myself?
Looking up at the sky, snowflakes are falling.
Silently lowering my head, everything seems extremely harmonious.
If I were to write a love song,
Singing it over and over again, would it remind me of my hidden flesh and blood?
My original self was warm, comforting, and radiant.

Please, do not look at the outside—everything is extremely decadent
Extremely colorful—too catastrophic.
It is best to live without any expectations.

In this state of deafness, I have suddenly forgotten myself.
For the rest of my life, I shall be cold.
Deaf and dumb, I shall sit呆坐 in the marketplace.
Perhaps you would like to sing a love song.
Remember to refrain from mentioning what your feelings are called.
Come, extinguish the fire in your eyes.
Watch the calamity in silence.
