那燃烧的火焰
是我的眼睛
我的眼，那时
　　被仇恨烧得彤红

那枯立的断壁
是我的眼睛
我的眼，那时
死死地盯着来自天空的罪行

目击者，我的眼睛
是永久的见证

我的山城哟
被夹竹桃花
红红白白簇拥着的山城

我的山城哟
被累累柑桔
压弯了腰的山城

二江夹流
听船工号子入梦
又被船工号子唱醒
我的山城哟

是谁，炸碎了你的清晨
炸碎了孩子的梦
无辜者的鲜血
从江边码头到高高的山顶
把石砌的台阶
一级一级染红

撕裂我们的天空
罪恶的鹰烙着血红的日形的恐怖火印
狞笑的刽子手
低飞着，把炸弹准确地
　　瞄着我们的头顶

野兽，你逃不出我的眼睛！
逃不出正义的惩罚，强盗！
我是目击者！是你的尅星！

虽然，江河的伤口已经愈合
土地的伤口已经愈合
和平已从和平者的手中
成长起茂密的森林
可我不能忘记那罪孽
不能忘记生者的血
　　以及死者的姓名
不要说战争的创伤已了痕迹
时间的手不会为
侵略者抹去罪行

如同星星，月亮
以及无所不见的太阳
正义的眼睛不会闭拢
为历史作证！
我是目击者！
人类的良心使我清醒！

The Witness
---Written for the Memory of “The Chongqing Big Bombing”

Lei Shuyan

The burning fires
Are my eyes
My eyes, then
Were burned to be red by hatred

The standing broken walls
Are my eyes
My eyes, then
Were fatally fixed on the crimes from the skies

A witness’ eyes
Are eternal evidence

O, my Mountain City
The city clustered round
By red and white dogbane flowers
O, my Mountain City
The city pressed to bend
By countless oranges

The two rivers are crossing
I am getting into a dream while listening to the boatmen’s work chants
And awakened by them
O, my Mountain City

Who has bombed your morning into pieces
Who has bombed the children’s dreams into pieces
From the dock to the high peak
The innocents’ fresh blood
Has dyed the stone steps
One by one

The evil eagle has mangled our heavens
And got the blood-red terrorist fire stamp in the shape of the sun
The hangman with fleers
Are lowly flying and making the bombs
Accurately aim at our heads

Beast! You cannot flee out of my eyes!
Bandit! You cannot flee out of the punishment of justice!
I am the witness, your natural enemy!

Although the rivers’ wounds have been cured
The earth’s wounds have also been cured
Peace has produced dense forests
In the hands of peacemakers
Yet I cannot forget the crimes
The blood of the alive
And the names of the dead
Don’t say that there are no traces of the wounds
The time’s hands will never
Erase the invaders’ crimes

Like stars, the moon
And the sun can be seen everywhere
The justicial eyes will never be closed
Bearing witness to the history!
I am the eyewitness!
Human beings’ conscience makes me clear-headed!
