Kaufer: The Sun Chaser
Cano 钟翔 210110417
I Kaufer
Kaufer! Kaufer!
Strong you! Brave you!
Too very fast run you! Fast run!
Bright bright sun
Burning, Burning, sun
Dying, Dying, man
Kaufer! Kaufer!
Stone sun! Stone sun!
Shut sun eyes!
Save our lives!
II 逐日(A Sun Chase)
When forty winters shall besiege thy brow,
While the flames of eternity burn as still.
What stone slung could be mighty enough,
Wrinkling just a flake of snow upon his Corona.
III An Ode to the Giant
Thou still unbreakable warrior of braveness,
Thou rushing child of silence and slow time.
In the distant valley, on the peak of cavernous mountains,
Where our father’s light blazed, thy strides advanced.
A stone in rage? Or a stone in vain.
Should the Prince be praised as a crown slayer?
Should a Tyrant spare a slice of mercy with his death?
“What men or gods are these? What maidens loth?
What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?”
IV The Last One
Ein Stein in deinen Augen ist ein Gebrüll deiner Kinder
Eine Rache mit Verzweiflung spricht für niemanden
A dreamer dreams,
A fisher dreams,
The king of the river, the lord of the ocean.
Cities scold, the obese buildings and neon lights
He is a drunker, floating in a damping mist
Grab up his tools, walking to the harbour
But where is the harbour? I see rocks and stones and sands and mud and dirt
I see brimstones
I see fire
The city utters, the fat one, it speaks
“Sell them for food, warm up your throat
A betrayal could break you free”
But the dreamers, they dream of a spoken cow
“Build me a muddy idol and worship me
Upon the Sunset, ride on me
Across the sea, the other side under the sky
Lies an isle, an island of treasure.”
A lighting strike, not once but twice
Restore the moment to a gleam of tender
Why would you need a muddy cow when there is no sea?
How could you get there when the Sun never sets?
Quiet ones went on exiling, with the cities chorusing the insane sounds
“Burns Burns Burns Burns Burns Burns Burns Burns Burns Burns Burns Burns Burns Burns Burns Burns Burns Burns Burns……”
My chest burns like a furnace
The brightness presses on
Like a Stone
