我非龍族,亦非

彩虹,既無麟爪麟角

亦無繽紛的顏彩

卻有一節光滑的紋身

我本居於那一帶的

叢林,晚來舌盡星光

朝起吸取霧霞

也羨慕那凌空的飛鳥

只因愛聽悅耳的歌聲

無意迷失於來時的小路

從此便流落在江湖

長在那浪人的手中

他將我把玩如女人

在他的簫聲中起舞

SNAKE  SAYS

 

I am not from the dragon-clan

Also, I am not a rainbow, neither do have claws

The horns of unicorn, nor the variegated colours

Yet I am smooth and bright pattern on my body

In fact, I have always lived In the bushes of countryside

When the night comes, I lick all starlight

And absorb the fog in the morning

Also, I admire the birds towering aloft in the sky

Because it pleases me hear the flute-sound

I am carelessly lost from the path to Come

Since then, I wander around the rivers and lakes with a vagrant life

I am ever under the control of a loafer

He plays with me as to a woman

I dance in his flute-sound.
