何敬平·《把牢底坐穿》英译

把牢底坐穿

何敬平

为了免除下一代的苦难，

我们愿——

愿把这牢底坐穿！

我们是天生的叛逆者，

我们要把这颠倒的乾坤扭转！

我们要把这不合理的一切打翻！

今天，我们坐牢了，

坐牢又有什么希罕？

为了免除下一代的苦难，

我们愿——

愿把这牢底坐穿！

1948年夏于渣滓洞

Wear Through Our Prison Floor

He Jingping

To spare the next generation misery

we will wear through our prison floor!

Born rebels, we want to turn back from chaos,

to overthrow all that is rotten.

Today, we are in prison,

but what is rare or new in that?

To spare the next generation misery,

we will gladly wear through the prison floor!

1948
