一块红布 (A piece of red cloth)
Cui Jian / 崔健| Altra versione inglese | |
| A PIECE OF RED CLOTH You put a piece of red cloth o'er my eyes to block the sun and cover up the sky you asked me what I saw, you couldn't guess I said that I saw happiness I was uneasy how could I forget I have no place my children can call home I'd like to follow you if you will let and go with you where you may roam I could not see the way the road had gone you took my hand and you pulled me along you asked me what I thought, said right or wrong I just want you to lead me on I knew that you thought you’re not made of steel but stronger even if you think you're not you have the passion and the heart I feel your hands are ready, blood is hot this wasn't what I thought: a wilderness and I could taste the desert in your lips dying of thirst I need a drink of it you sucked me dry with just a kiss I can not go, I can not cry alone I can not weep, I am dry as a bone but still I follow without sleep or rest because your pain I know the best You put a piece of red cloth o'er my eyes to block the sun and cover up the sky you asked me what I saw, you couldn't guess I said that I saw happiness | That day you used a piece of red cloth, Covering my eyes and covered the sky. You asked me what did I see, I said I saw a glimpse of bliss. This sensation really felt good to me, It made me forget that I've got no home. You asked me where I wanted to go, I said I wanted to walk your road. I couldn't see you and I could see no road, My hands were also gripped by you. You asked me what I was still thinking, I said I wanted you to call the shots. I sensed that you were not of steel, But you were strong and fierce like steel. I sensed that you had blood in you, Because your hand was warm to the touch. This sensation really felt good to me, It made me forget that I've got no home. You asked me where I wanted to go, I said I wanted to walk your road. I sensed that this wasn't wilderness, But I couldn't see the ground was parched with cracks. I sensed that I thirsted to drink, But my mouth was shut by your mouth. I cannot leave and I cannot cry, Because my body is shriveled and dry. I must forever so accompany you, Because I best know your misery. |
