Summer Days Burning

Heat! Hot! As if the fire is burning!

Thus says the fatty

Thus says the slim-jim

Thus says the man

Thus says the woman

And the heat is hotter

As if the fire is burning

And it is burning all along:

The fatty is burning

The slim-jim is burning

The man is burning

The woman is burning

Heat! Hot! As if the fire is burning!

Fire, fire of love!

Fire, fire of affection!

Poems of the World  Volume 18#4

附中文原詩如后:

夏日延燒

熱！好熱！熱得像火在燃燒！

胖子這麼說著

瘦子這麼說著

男人這麼說著

女人這麼說著

這使得熱更加熱了

熱得像火在燃燒

而且一直延燒下去：

胖子著火燃燒了

瘦子著火燃燒了

男人著火燃燒了

女人著火燃燒了

熱！好熱！熱得像火在燃燒！

火，愛情的火！

火，親情的火！
