SOMEONE – 有人 – JEMAND

有人

有人被处死
被虐待致死
就在教堂
学校办公室
在个人家里
被虐待致死

像在叙利亚
在奥地利
在乌克兰

他们说
他替我们受难
他是羔羊
他是替罪羊
为大家赴死

每次听到
都觉得可疑

JEMAND

Jemand wird dort gefoltert,
bis er stirbt.
In jeder Kirche,
in vielen Schulen,
in den Gerichten, Stuben, Büros.
Zu Tode gefoltert,
wie in Syrien,
wie in Österreich,
in der Ukraine.

Sie sagen, er wurde für uns gequält,
er war das Opfer,
er war das Lamm,
der Sündenbock.
Er sei für uns gestorben,
für unsere Sünden.

Jedesmal, wenn ich das höre,
bin ich nicht sicher.

SOMEONE

Someone is being tortured up there,
tortured to death.
In every church,
in many schools,
in many courts, offices, homes.
Tortured to death.
Just like in Syria,
just like in Austria
or in Ukraine.

They say he was killed for us.
He was the sacrifice.
He was the lamb,
he was the goat.
He died for us,
took away our sin.

Each time I hear it
I am not sure.

MY WORRY HAS NOT STOPPED BY AS SCHEDULED – 杨于军 Yang Yujun

Yang Yujun
MY WORRY HAS NOT STOPPED BY AS SCHEDULED

You didn’t come,
so my sin was not established.

One time you were laid up,
brain haemorrhage, hospital.
Another time it was volcano ash,
planes cancelled.
Then it was bugs on the vines,
red wine tasting event got postponed.

You said fermented fruits
are no longer forbidden.
I think there is more flavour
in waiting than is tasting.



In the end my reputation
was saved
by a virus.
