一些遗言

1

相比一个可怜的男人进入一个富有的女人，
一根针穿过一只骆驼更为简单。
你就去坟地，四处打听。

2

最终，你滑到外面，任门
砰然关上你最新的想法。然而这是什么？
你就去坟地，四处打听。

3

“疏忽”是我喜欢的香水。
噢，软呢帽。软呢帽。如果你要一点儿，
你就去坟地，四处打听。

4

野牛的骨头，黄昏的兔子，
风和双倍的风，树木，城镇……
你就去坟地，四处打听。

5

如果你认为好事就要到来，
世界将会改善，不要屏住呼吸。
你就去坟地，四处打听。

6

你在那一头，为什么要问这是不是无限之蓝的
山谷，问我们是不是它的囚徒？
你就去坟地，四处打听。

7

熟睡者醒来时，生活是一场永不被忆起的梦。
如果这让你困惑，高贵之人，
你就去坟地，四处打听。

SOME LAST WORDS

1

It is easier for a needle to pass through a camel
Than for a poor man to enter a woman of means.
Just go to the graveyard and ask around.

2

Eventually, you slip outside, letting the door
Bang shut on your latest thought. What was it anyway?
Just go to the graveyard and ask around.

3

“Negligence” is the perfume I love.
O Fedora. Fedora. If you want any,
Just go to the graveyard and ask around.

4

The bones of the buffalo, the rabbit at sunset,
The wind and its double, the tree, the town  . . .
Just go to the graveyard and ask around.

5

If you think good things are on their way
And the world will improve, don’t hold your breath.
Just go to the graveyard and ask around.

6

You over there, why do you ask if this is the valley
Of limitless blue, and if we are its prisoners?
Just go to the graveyard and ask around.

7

Life is a dream that is never recalled when the sleeper awakes.
If this is beyond you, Magnificent One,
Just go to the graveyard and ask around.
