听《送魂经》（中英文对照）

听《送魂经》

要是在活着的日子
就能请毕摩为自己送魂
要是在活着的日子
就能沿着祖先的路线回去
要是这一切
都能做到
而不是梦想
要是我那些
早已长眠的前辈
问我每天在干些什么
我会如实地说
这个家伙
热爱所有的种族
以及女子的芳唇
他还常常在夜里写诗
但从未坑害过人

*毕摩 ---- 彝族中的文化人和祭祀,大致相当于西方国家的牧师。

 Listening “ A Hymn For Seeing a Soul Off ”

I’d like to ask a Bimo  to sing a hymn to see my soul off
when I am alive
I’d like to go back along my forefathers’ road
when I am alive
How nice it would be
if all this could come true
but not a dream
If my forefathers
who are dead and buried
ask me what I do everyday
I will answer accurately:
This fellow
love all races and nationalities
and woman’s lips as well
He often writes poems till late night
and he has never entrapped anyone
