English Original
a rooster on a leg string
stands at the end of his world
daring traffic --
even a chicken feels
the pinch of a tethered life
Take Five, I, 2008
William Hart
Chinese Translation (Traditional)
一隻公雞的腿被繩子綁住
站在他的世界盡頭
挑戰來來往往的車輛
連小雞都覺得
束縛生活的捏緊之感
Chinese Translation (Simplified)
一只公鸡的腿被绳子绑住
站在他的世界尽头
挑战来来往往的车辆
连小鸡都觉得
束缚生活的捏紧之感
