The Birds in the Forest

In the forest,
Different kinds of birds,
Using different kinds of sounds:
"Ohr, Ohr"
"Cuckoo,Cuckoo"
".................."
Expressing the same thing:
"Leading a life in this way,
Oh, no,
Need to find out some way."
Listen and listen,
Just can't stop tears from falling down,
Because they and I
Are having the same kind of body and flesh,
The same painfulness,
Though in some moment,
I would laugh, I would speak, but
When I finished my laughing,
When I finished my speech,
This problem will come accordingly,
"Leading a life in this way,
Oh, no,
Need to find out some way."

(translated by oswald from poem "樹林子裏的鳥" by 楊鍵. 詩集 "慚愧"85頁)
