The Final Judgement

I'm waiting for the doomsday,
for things to become nothing.
When a big bang bangs in the outer space
we’ll all be back to the beginning, everything quiet.

At the very end of time I start
all over again, bringing with me food,
hope, and light, and bringing with me
healthy body and good spirit.

I need a harbor
to settle my wandering soul.
I need a bed, five feet three inches long,
a quilt, a woman, and a family.

All these and everything else are emptiness.
Cry out!  So I cry all night
and my tears become an ocean, never dry.
But I don’t remember why I’m so painful.

末日

末日

我等待着末日降临
等待着一切化为乌有
当太空中一声巨响之后
时间回到太初,万物宁静

在时间的顶端
我重新启程,带着粮食
带着希望和光明
带着健康的身体和灵魂

我需要一个港湾
让漂泊不定的心灵驻足
我需要一个一米六的床和被褥
女人和家庭

一切、竟是虚无
哭泣啊!我整夜里哭泣
眼泪就像永不干枯的海洋
我却已忘记我为何这般痛苦
