When fishes flew and forests walked

当鱼儿飞翔，森林漫步

And figs grew upon thorn,

无花果长在荆棘上，

Some moment when the moon was blood,

当月亮变成血的某一刻，

Then surely I was born;

那时我肯定出生了;

丑陋的脑袋和令人厌恶的叫声

With monstrous head and sickening cry

耳朵像长错的翅膀，

And ears like errant wings,

魔鬼的行走滑稽地模仿

The devil's walking parody

所有的四足动物。

On all four-footed things.

地球上褴褛的亡命之徒，

古老的扭曲的意志;

The tattered outlaw of the earth,

饥荒，灾祸，嘲笑我:我是哑巴，

Of ancient crooked will;

我仍然保守着我的秘密。

Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,

I keep my secret still.

笨蛋！因为我也有我的时候；

一个非常激烈而甜蜜的时刻：

Fools! For I also had my hour;

在我的耳朵周围传来一声呼喊，

One far fierce hour and sweet:

并有棕树枝铺在我的脚前。

There was a shout about my ears,

And palms before my feet.
