信息

你说我提供的
信息不够
我说得看

如果你在

布拉迪斯拉发
或科希策
等等小城

斯洛伐克
或奥地利
或匈牙利
也许看到
或看不到
也许知道

多少人死
多少人活
四十人走
一个人回
不那个人
他也不在
有新的房子
有纪念碑
纪念牌
六十年后
七八十年

中国呢
发生了什么
现在呢
你在的时候
完全不同
感觉不同
有那么多
也那么美

那么做朋友
多时候有

没有人受伤
她一直唱
废墟里唱
山上也唱
没有人受伤
每人都受伤
每人都有
伤痕不同

在的时候
真朋友圈
感觉多好

当外国人
活在异乡
人家都当
当陌生人

我在我国
当陌生人
一直都有
还是不同

INFORMATION

You say I don’t give enough information.
It always depends.
If you are there in Bratislava,
In Kosice, in the small towns,
In Austria, in Hungary.
Maybe you see, maybe not.
Maybe you know
how many died, how many survived.
One in forty came back.
No, even those aren’t here.
There are new houses.
There are memorials
sixty years late, seventy, eighty.

What happened in China?
What is happening now?
It’s very different
when you are there.
The feeling is different.
You know you don’t know,
you don’t know most of it.
But there is so much.
So much beauty.

So much companionship,
most of the time.

Nobody was injured,
she sings in her song,
there in the ruins,
up on the mountain.
No one was injured.
Everyone was.
Everyone is
in different ways.

It’s great to be there
among the people
most of the time.
To be a stranger
in a strange land
among many strangers
in their own country.

I am a stranger
in my own country
most of the time.
But I’m not sure,
not like in China.
It is just different.

STRASSE AUFS STERNENMEER – 李勋阳

Li Xunyang
I AM GOING TO THE SEA IN THE STARS

at night
there’s a road
that climbs to a road
then climbs to the next road
many thousand roads
all climb to another road
one road behind all the others
stands up
takes a good look under its feet
villages cities countries
starts dancing into the heavens
30,000 suns and above
lightly
in a few steps

MEINE FAHRT GEHT AUFS STERNENMEER

eine straße
in der nacht
kraxelt zu einer straße
kraxelt zu einer anderen straße
viele tausend straßen
kraxeln alle nach noch einer straße
ganz am ende die eine straße
die steht dann auf
mustert unter ihren füßen
dörfer städte länder
fängt an zu tanzen hoch in den himmel
über die stirnen von 30.000 sonnen
auf zehenspitzen
mit ein paar schritten
