SONG CONTEST
An opera singer
from Austria
has won the Eurovision Song Contest.
Nice young guy.
Asian features, somehow.
Very high voice,
some people love that.
Sorry, I don’t like it at all.
I can’t stand high notes
except the Queen of the Night
in Mozart’s Magic Flute.
I can sing that piece
with my bass.
When high notes become Jazz,
l’art pour l’art,
there is no meaning,
no other pathos,
practically Dada.
So that’s the exception.
Otherwise I run from high notes.
A few years ago
there was a wonderful song from Ukraine.
And there was that drag queen
from Austria.
Those were great moments,
high moments of song.

歌唱大赛
奥地利赢了
那个歌唱大赛
维也纳国家歌剧院
小歌手
看起来有一点像远东来的
大家都说唱得最好
也许是
我不能说
因为受不了高音
除了莫扎特魔笛
夜后咏叹调
最著名那部分
我也可以唱
用我的低音
也许是一种爵士
因为没歌词
一种超现实形式
一般我受不了高音
所以就不能说
几年前乌克兰赢了
那首非常好
一部分像土耳其语
还有上次奥地利赢了
大胡子变装皇后
那个成就很高

NATIONAL DAY
This is Austria’s National Day.
You can stand in line
for a rather long time
to look inside.
It feels rather hollow.
You knew that before.
Most people are friendly,
guarding the power.
Rooms are old and tall.
Imperial times
are very remote.
Everyone knows
something unspeakable
was in between.

国庆
奥地利国庆
可以去排队
等一段看见
政府楼里面
感觉很空洞
你早都知道
人都还善良
权利的保安
天花板高上
皇帝时代
现在很遥远
谁都知道
难说的事
就在中间

Qizi
PFIRSICHHAIN
Je höher ich steig,
desto näher bin ich an Gottes Sicht.
Der zehnte Stock ist nicht genug.
Vom 23. Stock
seh ich den Pfirsichhain überm Fluss.
Überhaupt nicht schön!
Ganz quadratisch,
wie ein dreckiger rosa Kuchen,
der runtergefallen ist.
Ich nehm den Lift wieder hinunter
und geh zum Fluss.
Auf der anderen Seite
sind nur ein paar Bauernhäuser,
die bald abgerissen werden.
Der Pfirsichhain ist nicht zu sehen.
Ich denk an die gelben Pfirsiche vom letzten Sommer,
die waren sehr gut.

桃园
起子
越往上
越接近上帝视角
在10楼不过瘾
我去了23楼
看河对岸的桃园
一点都不好看
方方正正
像一块掉在地上
脏乎乎的粉色糕点
我又乘电梯下来
来到河边
对岸只有几间
等待拆迁的农民房
桃园看不到了
我想起
去年夏天吃的黄桃
还真好吃

新家
三年前
从爸妈老房子里
把他们全部家当
运来放在我家车库
大大小小几十包
昨天又搬去了
刚装修好的新家
那些陈旧杂乱的
箱子和包裹
填满了所有空隙
显得和崭新的房间
格格不入
今天去火车站
接来我爸妈
领他们回到这个
他们第一次走进的家
当我妈弯腰
打开一个箱子
爸像个监工
从客厅到房间转悠
我眼前这个家
突然就协调了起来
2023-3-26
改变
爸妈在重庆
又住了快三年
每周和我视频
偶尔跟我弟生气
就向我告状
现在情况
将有所改变
周末爸妈要回来了
接下来他们
每周会和我弟视频
偶尔跟我生气
就会向我弟告状

Yi Sha
ON THE MOON
when you’re very low down
writing on the moon
is putting together beautiful words
or smart little phrases
a little less low
you think writing the moon
means romantic imagination
of a shallow disposition
when you start to go up
you realize the moon
the eternal waste land
ten thousand lonely generations
in your human heart
you step on the moon
September 2021
Translated by MW in October 2021

《关于月亮》||伊沙
最low的时候
以为写月亮
是整几个靓词儿
或小修辞
次low的时候
以为写月亮
是浪漫的想象力
是轻浮的小性情
开始走高的时候
懂得月亮
是亘古的荒凉
是万世的寂寞
是人心的登陆
