我住的那个小空间

The Little Room I Belong To

许多年来我都是被安放在一个小空间
我的生活，爱情，悲伤，幸福也住在那里
我们搬过无数次家
从湖南搬到海南，广西，北京
可是没有一次能冲破那几个平米
也从未能落下它们之中的一个
 
那是一个住进去就再也逃不出的地方
我被驱赶到一个又一个角落
从一个空间丢弃到另一个
总有一个盒子般的地方盖住我
盖住我的笑，忧伤
盖住我的哭，幸福
从第一天来到这个世界起它就盖住我的视线
直到我最后闭上眼睛
还有一副棺材不放过我
我这的一辈子，其实都囚禁在了
那个小小的空间里
			

For many years I've been placed in a little room
And my life, love, sadness and happiness have been there too
I have moved so many times that I cannot count
From Hunan to Hainan, Guangxi to Beijing
Never, though, can I get rid of those narrow spaces 
I cannot throw off s single part of them.
 
It's a place one can never escape from onced lived in
I am driven from one corner to another
And dumped from here to there
Always there is a box-shaped room covering me
Over my laughter, my sadness
my tears, my happiness
Since my first cry in the world, it has covered my sight
Till the moment I close my eyes
Even my coffin, there waiting for me
Actually, my whole life is confined to
That one little room.
