見るだけ歓迎 いらっしゃいませ！

刷

new paint

they've painted our houses grey
now they are fresh and smooth and grey
they had been shabby, used and white
now they are smooth and fresh and grey
they have installed new windows too
and all the sills are fresh and red
next year there are olympic games
they've painted many houses now
they've torn down many neighbourhoods
they've built a brand new capital
inside they wouldn't do too much
there is a lot that's left inside
inside the country all around
next year there are olympic games
they will be fresh and smooth and new

問候致敬

greetings

the moon has many ups and downs
the moon is everywhere the same
it's hard to see him where we live
or maybe it's not all that hard
we had a balcony before
a terrace high up on the roof
not all that high just six floors up
the roof was on the seventh floor
i stepped outside and saw the moon
you stepped outside and felt the air
it wasn't roses everywhere
they have some roses in the yard
i have to go out now and see
i have to look him up again
you don't know if he's getting full
you don't know if he's getting thin
the clouds are going pretty fast
i don't know where we'll be next year

招呼

gruesse

in beijing war da ein balkon
ich trat hinaus und gruesste dich
ich trat hinaus und sah hinauf
ich stieg hinaus und sah mich um
ich gruesste alles was dort wohnt
die tuerme und auch den gestank
die vogelschwaerme in der frueh
die weite und die grosse nacht
den himmel und bei uns den hof
den kuehlen und den hellen stern
den nahen und den gruenen mond
wir waren dort recht eingewoehnt

滿月

moon is round

moon is round again tonight
though she looks a little dirty
it must be the grainy air
it must be the smog in beijing
where you are she may be fair
