Life Is a Circle 生活轮回

Life Is a Circle

On the Route 66
I drag my only luggage
A suitcase full of dirty clothes
Standing against the blowing wind
With my thumb up
Hoping to hitchhike somewhere
Leading to a road far away
Beyond the horizon
I know it's not hell nor paradise
It's a full circle

Some years ago
Arrive in San Francisco
With a hundred dollar bill
Borrowed
Fresh ocean air
Brushes my hair
Milky fog
Kisses my lips
Land in a strange land
Stare at a hunky policeman
Of course, this is not a zoo
Nor a land full of ghosts
It's a dream land with
A dog, three kids, and a house
American dream, as it is labeled

Fly to the heart of American land
Because people there without a mind
As a joke says
Of course, the first lesson I pick up there
China is a big city
Is Mao still the Emperor of China
I smile
I laugh
I feel I'm a true island
As Simon & Garfunkel sing
In America
Everyone is full of imagination
One can make up the map of the world
The history
The imagination
The dream of their own

The fall blows away leaves
Leave trees naked
Chilly wind
Icy snow
Winter embraces the warm land
The warm land whispers to the spring
Welcome to summer
Chilly fall creeps in
Life comes to a full circle
I am just about to depart from San Francisco
With hundreds of 100 dollar bills
With more understanding of American Dream
An illusion as it is
On the Route 66
Running toward a truck stopped near by
It's a full circle

生活轮回

66 号高速公路上
我拖着唯一的行李箱
装着满满的脏衣裳
风迎面
拇指伸
满怀希望搭车流浪
路途遥远没有方向
远远伸向地平线之上
那里不是地狱也不是天堂
只是生活轮回

多年前
来到了旧金山
兜里装有一百美元
朋友暂借无息贷款
海风梳理我的发
白雾亲吻我的唇
飘泊于陌生的国度
抬头看着高大警察
当然这里不是动物园
也不是牛鬼蛇神的家
它充满梦幻
一只狗，三个孩子，外加别墅一栋
人人追求的美国梦

飞到美国的中西部
那里的人忠厚老实
玩笑说他们有心没脑
我上的第一堂地理课
中国是世界上最大的城市
老毛仍是中国的最后皇帝
我微笑
我大笑
我是真正的孤岛
就像Simon & Garfunkel 唱到
在美国人人富有想象
你可以画出自己的世界地图
也可写出你的世界历史
更可以创造你的想象
编造你的梦想

秋风吹走了树叶
剥去最后的秋装
寒风
冰雪
寒冬拥抱温暖的大地
温暖的大地悄声唤醒春梦
欢迎炎炎夏天
萧瑟的秋偷偷溜进
生命开始又一轮回
我待装将离金山
兜里装满上千张百美元
似乎明白了美国梦
幻象
66号高速公路上
我跑向停在路边等我的大卡车
生活开始了又一轮
