10 YEARS – NPC十岁了！NPC德语第一本目录

4月 3, 2021

10 YEARS – NPC十岁了！

10 years ago, Yi Sha 伊沙 began to present one poem each day on Chinese social media. This has become a representative collection of new poetry in the new century, aptly named NPC, New Poetry Canon 新世纪诗典.
Eight years ago I began to look for NPC poems each day, translating more and more into German and English. In 2014 my own poetry appeared on NPC for the first time. After two books of Yi Sha’s poetry, I have now published, along with Juliane Adler, the first book of a 4-volume-series of NPC poetry in Chinese and German. Here are the contents:

WINTER – 伊沙 Yi Sha

4月 3, 2021

Yi Sha
WINTER

On my way to the vegetable supermarket
in our compound
I see a small girl
on a big rock at the artificial lake
right above the ice going to
jump!
I am shouting:
„Don’t jump! Danger!“
But in this time
she has jumped already,
lightly,
safely
landing on the thick surface.
She turns around to me,
makes a ballet move
and becomes a small white swan.

Translated by MW, 4/3/2021

Yi Sha
WINTER

Ich geh zum Gemüsesupermarkt
in der Wohnhausanlage,
seh auf dem Weg ein kleines Mädchen
auf einem Felsen am künstlichen See,
sie will auf das Eis hinunter
springen!
Ich schrei:
„Achtung! Nicht springen!“
aber in der Zeit
ist sie schon gesprungen,
ganz leicht
und sicher
auf dem festen Eis gelandet.
Sie dreht sich zu mir um
in einer Bewegung aus dem Ballett
und wird ein kleiner weißer Schwan.

LIGHT – 伊沙 Yi Sha

10月 8, 2017

Yi Sha
PLAINLY SAID IT’S LIKE THIS

Two years ago at this time
I was in Vermont.
In that month,
I was with poets and writers, all kinds of artists,
everyone doing their stuff.
60 people,
I was the only one waiting for news on the Nobel.
I asked them
why they didn’t care.
They gave me strange looks,
like I was some Chinese bug on the ground.
Oh, we have such a deep Nobel complex,
it’s in our cultural genes.
Plainly said it’s opportunism,
always looking for shortcuts,
no doubt about it.

October 2016
Translated by MW, October 2017

《说穿了便是》

两年前这时候
我在佛蒙特
那个月里
我与来自世界各地的
诗人、作家、艺术家
一起创作
六十个人里
只有我
在关心诺奖的消息
我问他们
为什么不关心
他们用怪怪的眼神
望着我这只中国土鳖
哦，中国人如此深重的
诺奖情结
来自我们的文化基因
说穿了便是
机会主义者
老想走捷径
一锤子定音

2016/10

Yi Sha

光

I remember
three years ago
in Vermont,
Austrian sinologist Martin Winter told me
he didn’t agree
when I translated “light” into “guangming” 光明,
bright light.
“Light is just light”, he gave no reason.
I thought he didn’t like
the false pathos from the Mao era,
using big words.
Only just now
I see the light!
光 guang is immediate experience,
if you add 明 ming, meaning bright
the language is one step removed.
A colloquial poetry eagle
doesn’t pick up second-hand words.

October 2017
Translated by MW, Oct. 2017

《light》

伊沙

我记得
三年前
在佛蒙特
奥地利汉学家
维马丁说
他不赞同
把英语中的light
译成中文的＂光明＂
＂光就是光＂
他没说理由
我理解成
他不喜欢
这来自毛时代的
假大空中文
如今
三年过去了
就在刚才
我恍然大悟
＂光＂是第一现场语言
加个＂明＂
就退到了第二现场
对于后者
口语鹰是不屑叼走食用的

(10月第16首，总第9168首)

Yi Sha
LATE REVENGE

we have a late poet and critic
in his many writings
he also named my greatest sin:
after 1989,
the Third Generation of elite poets –
some went to prison
some went into business
some had stopped writing
hence my sudden rise

this kind of thinking is interesting
let me use it on Charles Bukowski
from 1960 to 62
China was stuck in extreme misery
people were starving
he didn’t care if we starved to death
kept slurping cheap wine
kept writing good poems
and became famous

October 2017
Translated by MW, October 2017

《秋后算账》
伊沙

一位死去的诗人、诗评家
在其洋洋万字的遗文中
给我罗致的罪名是
1989年后
趁第三代精英诗人
坐牢的坐牢
下海的下海
罢笔的罢笔
而崛起

这种思维很有意思
我想拿来一用
给美国诗人布考斯基罗致一项罪名
1960－1962年趁中国人民在水深火热中
忍饥挨饿
不顾我们死活
喝了好多烂酒
写了好多好诗
而崛起

NATIONAL DAY – 伊沙 Yi Sha

9月 30, 2017

Yi Sha
NATIONAL DAY

In all these years
there is one national day
I can‘t seem to forget.
Three years ago
I was in Vermont.
Only once you have passed
your National Day abroad,
only then you know:
You are thinking of your own country,
not just your family.
You are missing its reeking
insecure
sense of security.

Sept. 30, 2017
Translated by MW, Sept. 30, 2017

《国庆节》

多年以来
最难忘的国庆节
还是三年前
我在美国佛蒙特
只有在异国他乡
度一次国庆
你才会晓得
你在想念祖国
而不仅仅是想家
想念它臭哄哄的
安全感
不安全的安全感

CEMETERY – 万靈節在維也納

11月 2, 2016

CEMETERY

The cemetery is up on the hill
not far from the madhouse and worse
in the war but a beautiful park.
The cemetery has a beautiful view
on western Vienna, where I grew up
and half of the city.
Cemeteries are beautiful places
cultures of memory. Beautiful stones;
what happens if no-one pays?
Who has a flag, who has an eagle;
which fatherland did he fly and die for
in 1938?
We have two graves, with my mother or father
we visit three. Two years ago my grandmother died,
we were very close.
Who is and who isn’t down in our grave?
The one with our name,
every family has several names;
places and sites, countries and questions.
Up on the hill close to the entrance,
down and secluded not very far.
Vienna has many beautiful hills
and a beautiful river
and many waters and many souls.
Rest in peace. Thank you.

MOON MOND 十月

10月 14, 2016

MOON

Putting my son to bed,
I look for the moon and the stars every night.

Haven’t seen the moon for a while.

It’s a half moon, kind of yellow
and dirty white
though the air is fresh and cold
from the rain.
September was hot
and rather dry.
Two years ago I was in America,
feels like many years.

MW October 2016

MOND

ich hab den mond lang nicht gesehen
er ist ein halbmond ein bleiches gelb
ein bisschen schmutzig
obwohl die luft kalt ist und frisch
nach dem regen
september war heiß
ziemlich trocken
jetzt im oktober ist es halt kalt
vor zwei jahren war ich in amerika
fühlt sich jetzt an wie sehr lange her

LUCKY DOG – Yi Sha 伊沙《幸运兒》

4月 13, 2016

Yi Sha 《幸运兒》
LUCKY DOG

At Burlington Airport,
security personnel gave me a sign
made out of plastic
with a sentence in English,
something like
“You are today’s one and only
control-exempt traveler.“
At first I was shocked
then I was ecstatic
held it high in the air
showing my status.
After security,
went to the bathroom,
did my business,
washed my hands;
looked up
into the mirror,
examined myself for a long time.
”Oh, that security person,
they must have second sight,
goddammit, you tried all your life,
they’ll never take you for a bad egg!”

2014/10
Tr. MW, April 2016

《幸运儿》

伊沙

在伯灵顿国际机场
安检人员发给我
一张硬塑料做的牌子
上面的英语大意是：
“你是伯灵顿机场
今日唯一免检的乘客……”
起初我大惑不解
后来则心花怒放
高举此牌
大摇大摆
过了安检门
来到洗手间
解了手
洗了手
抬起头
照镜子
仔细端详自己好半天
“哦，这位安检官
真不是吃素的呀
真他妈好眼力啊
小子，你用半生努力
还是装不像一颗坏蛋”

2014/10

Yi Sha 《乡愁》
HOMESICK

My sister’s husband
picks me up at Phoenix airport.
Hardly says anything,
drives us into the city,
to a Sichuan restaurant.
Walking in,
it’s just like in China.
Customers mostly
black hair, yellow skin;
boss is from Chengdu.
Comes out himself,
greeting us with a smile,
all polite.
Only later when he’s alone
he is cursing and swearing,
pure Sichuan dirty language.
I am astonished.
“This is normal,
he is just homesick”,
says my brother in law.

2014/10
Tr. MW, April 2016

《乡愁》

伊沙

我的妹夫
在凤凰城机场
接上我
二话不说
将车子端直开到
城里的一家川菜馆
步入餐馆
恍若回到中国
顾客几乎都是
黑头发黄面孔
老板是成都人
亲自出面
招呼我们
笑吟吟
很客气
只是当他独处时
便骂骂咧咧
满口四川粗话
我大惑不解
妹夫说：“没什么
他这是想家了”

ICH SCHLAF SCHON IM STEHEN – 许立志 Xu Lizhi

1月 15, 2016

Mtime.com

Xu Lizhi
ICH SCHLAF SCHON IM STEHEN

Das Papier vor mir ist ein bisschen gelb.
Ich grab dunkle und hellere Zeichen hinein,
lauter Wanderarbeiter-Wörter.
Die Werkstatt, das Fließband, der Ausweis,
die Maschine, die Überstunden, der Lohn …
Ich werde von ihnen vollkommen beherrscht.
Ich werde nicht aufschreien, werd mich nicht wehren.
Niemanden verklagen und mich nie beschweren.
Nur schweigend Erschöpfung ertragen.
Bis der Anfang vorbei ist.
Bis zum Zehnten im Monat der graue Lohnzettel
Trost bringt für alles davor.
Dafür wetz ich Kanten ab, reibe Sprache weg.
Keine Krankheit, kein Urlaub, kein Fernbleiben.
Niemals später aufstehn, niemals früher gehen.
Steh eisern am Fließband mit fliegenden Händen.
So viele Tage, so viele Nächte,
ich schlaf schon im Stehen.

20. August 2011
Übersetzt von MW, 2015

许立志
「我就那样站着入睡」

眼前的纸张微微发黄
我用钢笔在上面凿下深浅不一的黑
里面盛满打工的词汇
车间，流水线，机台，上岗证，加班，薪水……
我被它们治得服服贴贴
我不会呐喊，不会反抗
不会控诉，不会埋怨
只默默地承受着疲惫
驻足时光之初
我只盼望每月十号那张灰色的薪资单
赐我以迟到的安慰
为此我必须磨去棱角，磨去语言
拒绝旷工，拒绝病假，拒绝事假
拒绝迟到，拒绝早退
流水线旁我站立如铁，双手如飞
多少白天，多少黑夜
我就那样，站着入睡

MOTHER TONGUE – 伊沙

1月 12, 2016

Yi Sha
MOTHER TONGUE

In the green hills
each of these hermits
they all have a dog.
We are taking a walk
they jump out barking like mad.
I shout in Chinese: “Go to hell!”
Doesn’t help.
They are jumping us.
Woman writer JoAnn from Chicago
yells: “Shit!”
Dog starts to listen
and slinks away.

READING ORDERS – Yi Sha 伊沙《閱讀指令》

11月 18, 2015

Yi Sha 《閱讀指令》
READING ORDERS

in these few days
I’ve read them again and again
four pages of orders
left behind by the suicide terrorists

“now is the time
you have to get up
get dressed as fast as you can”
so I get up
get dressed

“now is the time
go wash yourself
go to the bathroom
look into the mirror
get rid of unnecessary
small hairs on your face”
so I wash myself
and listen to
the sound of my razor

“now is the time
you have to go out
go downstairs call a taxi
when you sit in the cab
you will feel nervous
and the best method
against feeling nervous
you smile at the driver
when you get to the airport
you smile at everyone”
so I go out
call a cab, smiling

“now is the time
use your small dagger and your iron will
a massacre is about to begin”
I feel distracted –
are these two lines from a poem?
then something makes we weak altogether:
“now is the time
you must go through death
to enter paradise
the virgins in paradise
are already prepared
in their most beautiful clothes
to welcome you”
and so I decide
to give up the mission

they should not have said that
as soon as I read it I thought
maybe I don’t have to die
don’t have to kill so many people
to get at this thing

2001
Tr. MW, Nov. 2015

《阅读指令》

近些日子
我总是反复阅读
那些不要命的恐怖分子
在行动之前
得到的4页指令

上面说：现在
你该起床了
以最快的速度
穿好衣服
我就起床
穿好衣服

上面说：现在
你该洗漱
去卫生间
对着镜子
剃掉脸上
多余的毛发
我就洗漱
并且嗡嗡嗡地
剃须

上面说：现在
你该出门
下楼打车
坐上车子
你会感到紧张
而消除紧张的
最佳做法是
对司机微笑
到了机场
对你见到的每个人微笑
于是我就
出门、打车、微笑

上面说：现在
带着你的小刀和意志
一场屠杀就要开始
我被分了神
以为那是两行诗
而彻底使我软掉的是
上面说：现在
你就要穿越死亡
进入天堂
天堂的美女
已经穿好了
最美丽的衣裳
迎接你的到来
于是我就
放弃了一切行动

它不该说这个
它一说这个我就想
也许我犯不着死
犯不着杀那么多人
就能够得到这些

（2001）

YI SHA IN AMERICA 伊沙《美国行》

4月 24, 2015

Yi Sha 《与布靠斯基同行》
ON THE ROAD WITH BUKOWSKI

at vermont studio center
drugs are taboo
no smoking inside
in case of sexual harassment
please dial this number
with a sigh I said to martin:
“even charles bukowski
such a great writer
had to go out himself to buy alcohol
this would never happen
in china …”

later we found
johnson town supermarket
stacked all kinds of booze
we breathed a sigh of relief
for old bukowski
one day later
we found the shop at the gas station
closer from the studios
another sigh of relief
for old bukowski
even later than that
we found a place
looked like a liquor store
complete selection
of local specialties
at cheaper prices
now
we could be rather sure
bukowski’s days at vsc
were happy days
drinking
and writing to his heart’s content

bukowski was happy
we were happy too

Yi Sha 《与布靠斯基同行》
MIT BUKOWSKI UNTERWEGS

im künstlerzentrum
sind drogen verboten
besonders das rauchen
bei sexueller belästigung
gibt es einen notruf
ich sage seufzend zu martin:
“sogar charles bukowski
der große dichter
musste hier selbst nach alkohol suchen
das wäre in china
undenkbar ….”

nachher fanden wir
im großen supermarkt mitten im ort
die regale voller alkohol
wir atmeten auf
in gedanken an bukowski
später fanden wir
bei der tankstelle auch einen supermarkt
noch näher am künstlerzentrum
wir atmeten noch einmal auf
für den alten bukowski
noch später
entdeckten wir ein spezialgeschäft
lauter alkohol in allen sorten
außerdem billiger
jetzt war es entschieden
wir konnten sicher sein
im vermont studio center
war bukowski glücklich
trank in frieden
schrieb in frieden

bukowski war glücklich
wir waren es auch

Yi Sha 《飞越太平洋》
FLUG ÜBER DEN PAZIFIK

von china nach amerika
von peking nach detroit
ich hatte geglaubt
wir würden den weiten pazifischen ozean
überqueren
doch unser flugzeug
war praktisch die ganze zeit
über festem boden
von peking nach nordosten
über harbin hinweg
ich sah die lichter
dann ging es nach russland
über das äußere hinggan-gebirge
über die halbinsel kamtschatka
über die beringsee
(der einzige schmale streifen meer
den wir überflogen)
dann kam alaska
(also war ich schon in amerika)
wir überquerten die kordilleren
flogen durch kanadas öde weiten
und dann nach südosten
bald darauf die landung
im üppigen grün
der häuser und villen rund um detroit
nach meinen informationen
gelangten die eskimos
aus der mongolischen hochebene
über genau diese route
auf den amerikanischen kontinent

DAS FLUGZEUG FLIEGT DER SONNE VORAUS

10月 27, 2014

das flugzeug fliegt der sonne voraus.
die sonne geht unter.
der mond ist ein strich,
eine feine weisse kurve.
der horizont leuchtet in blau,
hellgelb und weiss.
flug in die rosen-
farbene iris,
farben des feuers.
wenn ich an blumen denk,
denk ich an dich.
der himmel leuchtet
wir sind über rumänien,
irgendwo unten ist sibiu.
gestern abend war ich in kanada.
ich schau ins feuer
ein lagerfeuer war nicht genug
mit anna kubelik.
mit nick dem riesen,
mit seinen messern.
der horizont ist ein leuchtendes rot.
darüber schlieren,
schwarz und dann grün.
der horizont ist ein brennendes rot,
darüber orange,
schwarze schlieren:
grün sind die
grauschwarzen tücher
der wolken.
wir haben schwarze flügel die blinken,
dahinter:
der mond

viennese is the ugliest language
I cannot really tell it apart
vienna was the city of hitler
the city of schirach
vienna was once a city of jews
I am from vienna
viennese is the most beautiful language
vienna was the city of freud
a city of music
I know exactly how it should sound

Yi Sha
SEX EDUCATION

One of our travels
We didn’t get out very much –
Nine years ago. Led us to Qingdao –
A summer of love
Sand castles, writing on rocks
Fresh clams in small restaurants
Very cheap. I remember
We lived in a school
A hotel for the summer
It was our summer of
Watching movies together
One night we sat
In the video room
All the way until morning
There was a flick about all kinds of fish
We were attracted
And then we felt
Shaken without compare
There was a fish called salmon
They had this one time
Of uninhibited communion
At the end of their lives
Fish of great beauty
Nine years ago
We don’t remember
How great it was
But no-one forgets
The pain at the end

《性爱教育》

那是我们不多的
出门旅行中的一次
九年前在青岛
那是属于爱情的夏天

海滩上的砂器和字迹

小饭店里的鲜贝

非常便宜记得

我们住在一所

学校里在夏季

它临时改成了旅店

那是我们共同的

爱看电影的夏天

一个晚上我们

在录像厅里

坐到了天亮

一部介绍鱼类的片子

吸引了我们

使我们感到

震惊无比

那种鱼叫三文鱼

一种以一次

酣畅淋漓的交媾

为生命终结的

美艳之鱼

九年了

我们没有记住

它的美丽

只是难以忘记

这种残酷的结局

LIKE A BELL I SIT IN CHANG-AN: Yi Sha

10月 23, 2014

Yi Sha
Song dynasty lyrics: Qing Ping Yue
for Martin

Frost state has no temples,
but there are times to see each other.
In my country, small people keep chirping.
Beyond the skies I am finding my friends,
red maple leaves on the trails in green hills,
streams keep on flowing.
Two people born in the year of the horse:
We raise our heads, go like the wind.

SONG OF VERMONT
(Tang dynasty style)

Green peaks raise blue skies,
clear brooks meet in ponds.
Maples reflected –
is this the real world?
Wang Wei walked here
to his Journey’s End.
Frost stopped in woods,
we have miles to go.
I am just a guest,
with geese flying south.
Red leaves send us off,
snowflakes greeting spring.

RED LEAVES (Tang dynasty quatrain)

Have met frost, heart’s still warm.
So in this fall I meet red leaves.
Should we cover all the roads?
Like a bell I sit in Chang-An*.

*Chang-An: Today called Xi’an, capital of China through 13 dynasties. Yi Sha’s home town.
