a story I'd like to tell you

我想告诉你一个故事

I met a man. Okay, two men, each with his grave tartan. 
One, a scholar of the Song dynasty; the other sold firewood.
One came from Brazil, the other went there.
One liked my hand, the other my mouth. 
I called them you and you.

From each, a daughter. From the daughters, 
grief. I wept and wept. 

One said, wait for an angel, the other
wait for me.
			

我遇到一个男人。好吧，两个，都穿着肃穆的格子呢。
一个是宋代研究者；另一个，卖柴火。
一个来自巴西，另一个去往那儿。
一个喜欢我的手，另一个喜欢我的嘴。
我称他们为你和你。

从每个男人那里，我得到一个女儿。从女儿，
得到忧伤。我哭泣，哭泣。

一个说，等着天使降临吧，另一个说
等着我。
