_______________________________ TWITTERS
OF
MIGRANT BIRDS 1. Dear
flock of birds on the tuft of an old forest! And
herd of wild horses on a dried field, the dearest! Be
awakened right now ! Listen
to the twitters and words hastened sound Keep
going on your way Go
for a day A
month A
year Or
even for life One
life Survival Death No
solace Bring
away things unfinished And
step on a way, the illimited Nothing
will be complete For
a joy Several
sorrows 2. Oh,
one’s heart! Blood’s red for ever For
ever affection and love Why
for the whole hundred of years On
Fatherland with enmity and hatred? On
Motherland with disgrace and humiliation Pain
and ungratefulness? 3. Alas ! my dear beloved Hundred
of thousand times for love and fondness The
whirligig of time had broken our
peaceful earth That
passed times’re unalbe
fading the past so
my heart is on summit of the pain so
my heart still has hundreds of thousand words to say again so
my love still has hundreds of thousand matters for fondness Being
over head and ears in love, suffering
and delight endless Throw
your soul upon the peak of melancholy Drink
the morn dews of the sky frozen and misty 4. If
you keep silence as an acceptance If
you step on the path of pre-destiny There’s nothing to say absolutely For
living a life to lead away And
piles up tiresomeness upon plans to future days 5. Get
a drink! Empty
the regret, sorrow, incomplete love Think
of any reunification the
supposition the
eager hope for Forget
temporarily the days of pain and humiliation In
order to be in love one another 6. The
Sky gonna be sunny the
wild forest gonna grow up new woods and trees the
migrant birds will be back their homes The
D day will come and the sun gonna rise Be
in a hurry to awaken, dear Mankind! · THE WRITERS
