Raksasa Island

刀郎 著

By 陈文安

罗刹国向东两万六千里

13,000 km to the east lies Raksasa Island.

过七冲越焦海三寸的黄泥地

Beyond the seven passes and the stormy seas nestles a tiny Mudland.

只为那有一条一丘河

In Mudland, there is a Yiqiu creek

河水流过苟苟营

zigzagging across a Go-Go Camp.

苟苟营当家的叉杆儿唤作马户

The head of the Camp is called Don Key,

十里花场有浑名

a big name among brothels community

她两耳傍肩三孔鼻

She has donkey ears and three-nostrils

未曾开言先转腚

Before opening mouth, she would turn her ass.

每一日蹲窝里把蛋来卧

She squats in the shed all day to hatch eggs.

老粉嘴多半辈儿以为自己是只鸡

The glib-tongued Don Key thinks she is a hen.

那马户不知道他是一头驴

She doesn’t know she’s actually a donkey.

那又鸟不知道他是一只鸡

The bird Chi Ken doesn’t know he’s a chicken.

勾栏从来扮高雅

Brothels always wear fancy make-up.

自古公公好威名

Eunuchs always crave for fame.

打西边来了一个小伙儿他叫马骥

A young fella coming from the west is called Ma Ji,

美丰姿 少倜傥 华夏的子弟

handsome, untrammeled, a typical Cathay lad.

只为他人海泛舟搏风打浪

As a seaman, he’s braved the wind and waves and

龙游险滩流落恶地

waded numerous rapids before stranded in Mudland.

他见这罗刹国里常颠倒

He finds things often reversed on the Island.

马户爱听那又鸟的曲

Don Key enjoys Chi Ken’s singing.

三更的草鸡打鸣当司晨

Hens crow to herald the morning.

半扇门楣上裱真情

Half of the lintels are framed with something real.

它红描翅那个黑画皮

Wings painted in red, ass hide dyed in black;

绿绣鸡冠金镶蹄

Comb painted in green, hooves inlaid with gold.

可是那从来煤蛋儿生来就黑

But coals are black in and out,

不管你咋样洗呀那也是个脏东西

always filthy no matter how you wash them.

那马户不知道他是一头驴

Don Key doesn’t know he is a donkey,

那又鸟不知道他是一只鸡

Chi Ken doesn’t know he is a chicken.

岂有画堂登猪狗

How come pigs and dogs make presence in galleries?

哪来鞋拔作如意

A shoe horn can never be used as jade Ruyi.

它红描翅那个黑画皮

Wings painted in red, ass hide dyed in black;

绿绣鸡冠金镶蹄

Comb painted in green, hooves inlaid with gold.

可是那从来煤蛋儿生来就黑

But coals are black in and out,

不管你咋样洗呀那也是个脏东西

always dirty no matter how you wash them.

爱字有心心有好歹

Love comes from heart and heart can be good or evil

百样爱也有千样的坏

Love and hatred exist in various forms.

女子为好非全都好

Women are good, but not always.

还有黄蜂尾上针

Some are wasps with stings

西边的欧钢有老板

The boss of the European Steel Group

生儿维特根斯坦

has a son named Wittgenstein

他言说马户驴又鸟鸡

He claims Don Key is donkey and Chi Ken is chicken.

到底那马户是驴还是驴是又鸟鸡

Who knows Don Key is donkey or donkey is chicken?

那驴是鸡那个鸡是驴

The donkey is chicken or the chicken is donkey.

那鸡是驴那个驴是鸡

The chicken is donkey or the donkey is chicken.

那马户又鸟

The donkey and chicken thing

是我们人类根本的问题

is a longstanding problem that plagues humanity.
