Yongbo Ma: “Easter Song: On This Day” 

Επιμέλεια: Εύα Πετροπούλου Λιανού

On this day, all the graves are empty

On this day,rabbits have run, the grasses rolling away

On this day, hard-boiled eggs roll down

tilting streets, all shattered finally

The winning children return home alone

the losing children disperse in a huff

with faces marked, cursing each other to hell

On this day, you have drained the ancient cup of bitterness

from now on, when I fall, it’s you who feel the pain

on this day, love sheltering in wounds, only for me

the multitude who died in Adam,without me

On this day, like a boy expelled by his peers

death complains, whipping with willow branches

all unseen things

his fishhook becomes a safety pin

On this day, the air is filled with invisible footprints, wings, and cheers

On this day, we sit up in your body, children just awakened

with stars at the corners of their mouths, rubbing their eyes

复活节颂歌:这一天

这一天,所有的坟墓都空了

这一天,兔子跑了,草浪翻滚

这一天,煮熟的鸡蛋滚下

倾斜的街道,最后都碎了

赢了的孩子独自回家

输了的孩子一哄而散

脸上挂彩,互相骂着滚蛋

这一天,那亘古的苦杯你已喝光

从此,我跌倒时,痛的却是你

这一天,活在伤口里的爱,为我

死在亚当里的众人,没有我

这一天,像一个被小伙伴开除的男孩

死亡抱怨着,用柳条抽打着

所有看不见的东西

他的鱼钩变成了大头针

这一天,空中充满无形的脚印、翅膀和欢呼

这一天,我们在你的身体里坐起

刚睡醒的孩子,嘴角含着星星,揉着眼睛
