National Museum

国家博物馆

Museum artifacts
Strewn about the garden or
Propped against the wall

With "Lonely Planet"
You find the old synagogue
Murals on the walls

There are no Jews left 
In Damascus. They left
When the borders opened
			

博物馆的文物
散布在花园里
或靠着墙壁 

根据“叙利亚旅游指南”
你找到了老犹太教堂
墙上一幅幅壁画

没有犹太人留在
在大马士革。边界
开放时他们离开了
			

In the Castle

在城堡里

Crak des Chevelliers
A real crusader castle
Ruins of huge stones

We sit in windows
Of a chapel, picture knights
At a round table

Listen to stories
Of metal gates, boiling oil
Catapults, boulders

But the castle fell
To the Mamluk hordes who sent
The crusaders home
			

克拉克城堡
真正的十字军城堡
一块块巨石的废墟

我们坐在小教堂的
窗台上，想象着当年
骑士们围坐圆桌的情景

听着有关种种
大铁门、沸腾的石油、
石弩、巨砾的故事。

但城堡落到马穆鲁克
部落手中，他们把
十字架送回了家
			

Hope

希望

The sky is not black
It's the deepest shade of blue
Behind the white clouds
			

天空并不全黑
在白云后面
是一片深蓝色阴影
