《山歌寥哉》之六:《颠倒歌》MV附英文字幕
《An Upside-Down Chaos》: No.6 of 《How desolate are the folk songs》
把一只鳖扔进黄色的便盆,它会自觉高贵
If you throw a turtle into a yellow toilet, it will instinctively behave nobly
骑一头驴参加宫廷的舞会,它能自比王妃
Riding a donkey to attend the court ball, it can compare itself to the princess
阳光照不亮夜里的鬼 六畜难懂人间味
The sunlight cannot illuminate the ghosts of the night,the livestock find it hard to understand the flavors of the human world
它以为总是它以为 扁桃肿得比脑肥
It is so full of itself, the inflamed tonsil looks bigger than its brain
当一条狗叼着骨头趴下会看见它的尾巴
When a dog lies down with a bone in its mouth, it will wag its tail with zest
当踩扁一只螃蟹再看它就发现一只王八
When you step on a crab and then look at it, you will discover that it is in fact a tortoise
这世间众生多么的繁杂
How compliacated are all living beings in the world
话也瞎来心也瞎
Words are foolish and hearts are blind
路也滑来人也滑 一不小心就踩粑粑
The road is slippery and people are slick and sly, you may step in poop accidentally
采薜荔呀水呀来呀 树梢搴那芙蓉花
Collecting ficus pumilar in water, picking the lotus flowers at the treetops
苞谷地呀里一棵葱 装得比那棒槌大
An allium growing in the cornfield boasts itself bigger than the maize cob
苍蝇专叮那无缝的蛋
Flies partically bite at the unblemished eggs
思想起来就采了一朵野菊花
Lost in thought and then pick a wild chrysanthemum
这世间众生多么的繁杂
How compliacated are all living beings in the world
话也瞎来心也瞎
Words are foolish and hearts are blind
路也滑来人也滑 一不小心就踩粑粑
The road is slippery and people are slick and sly, you may step in poop accidentally
采薜荔呀水呀来呀 树梢搴那芙蓉花
Collecting ficus pumilar in water, picking the lotus flowers at the treetops
苞谷地呀里一棵葱 装得比那棒槌大
An allium growing in the cornfield boasts itself bigger than the maize cob
苍蝇专叮那无缝的蛋
Flies partically bite at the unblemished eggs
思想起来就采了一朵野菊花
Relieved about the chaos and then pick a wild chrysanthemum
