Terracotta Warriors



Terracotta Warriors
By Fei Ma 1986.09.15

Changing their shapes in kneading hands
Still they are made of mud
Most submissive and trustworthy

You see, after ten thousand generations
These clay men and clay horses
Are still valiant in high spirits
They kneel or stand
(Only a few of them fail the test
Heads cut off, legs broken, fallen on the ground)
Still loyally and devoted protect
Their utterly decayed underworld dynasty!

  捏来捏去
  还是泥巴做的东西
  最听话可靠

  你看万世之后
  这些泥人泥马
  仍雄纠纠气昂昂
  (虽然也有几个经不起考验
  断头折腿仆倒)
  仍忠心耿耿捍卫
  腐朽不堪的地下王朝
