无数人死了，每个都是无辜的

Millions were dead; everybody was innocent.

我呆在自己房里，总统

I stayed in my room. The President

谈论战争，像谈论春药

Spoke of war as of a magic love potion.

我在惊奇中睁开眼

My eyes were opened in astonishment.

镜子里，我的脸像一张

In a mirror my face appeared to me

两次作废的邮票

Like a twice-canceled postage stamp.

我过得不错，但生活也挺可怕

I lived well, but life was awful.

那天有好多士兵

there were so many soldiers that day,

好多难民拥挤在路上

So many refugees crowding the roads.

自然，一只手轻轻一点

Naturally, they all vanished

他们全都消失了

With a touch of the hand.

历史舔着血淋淋的嘴角

History licked the corners of its bloody mouth.

付费频道上，一个男的和一个女的

On the pay channel, a man and a woman

饥渴地接吻，撕扯对方衣服

Were trading hungry kisses and tearing off

我把音量关掉，一片漆黑

Each other’s clothes while I looked on

除了荧幕上有

With the sound off and the room dark

太多的红色，太多的粉色

Except for the screen where the color

Had too much red in it, too much pink.
