SONG CONTEST 歌唱大赛

5月 26, 2025

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

ON THE MOON – 伊沙 Yi Sha

10月 14, 2021

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

《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
