原文:
为人进出的门紧锁着,
为狗爬出的洞敞开着,
一个声音高叫着:
爬出来吧,给你自由!
我渴望自由,
但我深深地知道——
人的躯体怎能从狗洞子里爬出!
我希望有一天,
地下的烈火,
将我连这活棺材一齐烧掉,
我应该在烈火与热血中得到永生。
译文:
For man to exit, the gate is locked,
For the dog to crawl out, the hole is wide open,
A voice screams loud:
Crawl out! And you'll have your freedom!
I yearn for freedom,
But I know well—
How can a man crawl out through a dog's hole!
I hope one day,
The underground fire will rise,
Burn me together with this living coffin,
I shall be reborn in the fire and blood.
