那些沦落市井的无聊之徒
整日吃喝嫖赌
为件小事去杀某人
视生命为粪土

也曾像小孩般天真过的
我的种族
以行刺作为风尚的
遥远的上古

他们是——我的祖先
我冲动的骨血的渊源
那些摇着扇子晃着脑袋的一群

My Ances­tors

 

End­ed up on streets
Drink­ing, whor­ing, gambling
Who regard­ed life as muck
Would kill for nothing

Were once inno­cent as children
Those clans from long ago
Took pride
As assassins

They are my ancestors–
Source of my rag­ing blood
Those who rolled their heads and flour­ished fans
Have noth­ing to do with me

   Trans­lat­ed by Wang Ping and Alex Lemon
