色盲 / Colorblind

 

你所讲述的彩虹
究竟如何美丽
我还看见了
一面尿片般的国旗
今生勉强下完
的一盘棋
是我帮你吃掉了
我的车
唉!
你说我饱受颜色的折磨
你说我只晓得光明与黑暗
的色泽
我死在城市的
红绿灯下
死不瞑目地看啊
那永远搞不懂的真假
这是宿命
最后一瞥
我看到了爷爷
一个色盲农民
一生收获
猩红的麦子

 

 

Colorblind

 

How beautiful were the rainbows
You described ?
I only saw the national flag
Hung like a diaper
In this life, I barely finished a chess game
And you took my knight
Ai!
You said colors had tormented me enough
The only shades I knew were
Light and dark
With my eyes open
I died
Under the green and red lights
Doomed to mix truth and lie
In my last glance
I saw my grandpa
A colorblind peasant
Harvesting scarlet wheat
