放逐

我在時間的盡頭經歷放逐
手臂的彎度  記憶的弓
我用我的漢字洗清異國的天空

無倦的天空  遼闊強烈的天空
乾燥而又堅忍
帶著事物莫名的疼痛
冬天──有著記憶命名的莊重

我看到被遺忘拒絕的恥辱
帶著使命  進入我那野蠻的視野
眺望終止了閱讀  回憶放棄時鐘
經歷者──經歷著對經歷的厭惡

那並非是時間的過錯
那僅僅是時間的過錯

輾壓往事的   是夜的車輪
事物
用它不朽的根
固執地纏繞我們

我在放逐的盡頭
如同國家版圖上
一個恆久的詛咒

Banishment

Banished, I have left time behind
My arm, curved in the act of writing
Bent with the heaviness of memory
Is a bow aimed at this foreign sky
Blotting it out with the words of my country

The sky is untiring, endless
Its strength endures   dry and stoic
Bringing pain I have no words for
Weight of memory imposed by winter

I see shame that refused to be forgotten
Planting a mission in my uncouth horizon
Reading ends with a distant gaze
Memory ignores the ringing bell
Each experience is weary of the next

This is not time's mistake
This is only time's mistake

Heavy and dark, the wheels of night
Grind the past into sand.
The deathless roots of things
Hold us in stubborn coils

I can wait in this banishment forever
It is not my shame
But a stain on the sky of my country

© Translated by Bei Ling and Evelyn Toynton
Language: german

Verbannung

Hier bin ich verbannt bis ans Ende der Zeit
Meine Arme sind gewinkelt: Im Bogen der Erinnerung
Mit meinen Zeichen putz ich den Himmel des Auslands

Unermüdlich, zäh und weit
Ein beharrlicher Himmel, trocken und herrisch
Er bringt einen wortlosen Schmerz in den Dingen
Im Winter, schwer von Erinnerung

Ich sehe die Scham, verdrängt und vergessen
Tritt sie mir unter die achtlosen Augen
Sie bringt ihren Auftrag
Ich starr' in die Ferne und hör auf zu lesen
Erinnerung hat die Zeit aufgegeben
Erfahrung hat die Erfahrung schon satt

Das ist doch nicht die Schuld der Zeit
Das ist doch nur die Schuld der Zeit

Sie walzen sie nieder
Die Räder der Nacht
Die vergangenen Dinge
Die Wurzeln der Dinge
Die bleiben und halten uns weiter gefangen

Hier bin ich verbannt
Bis ans Ende der Zeit
Wie ein Fluch auf dem Land


© Übersetzt von Martin Winter, März 2010

Verbannung

Ich gehe durch die Verbannung bis ans Ende der Zeit
Mein Arm beschreibt den Bogen der Erinnerung
Mit meinen Zeichen
        betreibe ich am fremden Himmel Reinigung

Der unermüdliche Himmel, weit und kraftvoll
Nüchtern und doch geduldig
bringt er Dinge voller Schmerz, für den es keine Worte gibt
Der Winter markiert die Wucht der Erinnerung

Ich sehe die Scham, die sich weigert vergessen zu werden
In den von Barbarei erfüllten Horizont
rückt sie mir eine Mission
Darüber endet mein Lesen
Erinnerung entsagt der Zeit
Erfahrung ekelt sich vor ihresgleichen

Das ist nicht die Schuld der Zeit
Das ist nichts als die Schuld der Zeit

Die Räder der Nacht
zermahlen die Vergangenheit
Doch die Dinge
mit ihren unsterblichen Wurzeln
bleiben uns beständige Qual

Ich bin bis ans Ende verbannt
Laste als ewiger Fluch
auf meinem Land

* 28.12.1959, Beijing, China
lives in: Taipei, Taiwan

BEI Ling was born on December 28, 1959 in Beijing, China. He is a well-known dissident poet, essayist and writer.

Between 1990 and 1993, BEI Ling was the writer-in-residence at Brown University. While at Harvard in the mid-1990s, he founded Tendency, a literary journal and press of dissidents and writers-in-exile in Chinese. The journal has also been involved in the translation of non-Chinese writers into Chinese. BEI Ling also founded the Independent Chinese PEN Center. He has been a research associate at Harvard's Fairbank Center for East Asian Research and was a Fellow at the New York Public Library's Center for Scholars and Writers (2002-2003).

BEI Ling's poetry, essays and book reviews have been published in The Los Angeles Times, The Los Angeles Times Book Review, The New Republic, The New York Times, and The Harvard Review. His poetry has been translated from Chinese into English, Japanese, German, French and Spanish.

In August 2000, BEI Ling was arrested for 'illegally publishing' his journal in China. After an outcry of internationally renown writers, the likes of Susan Sontag and Günter Grass, and with the help of, among others, the U. S. State Department, he was released and expelled from China. BEI Ling went into exile in the U. S. A..
