Why the Emperor\'s New Clothes

Why the Emperor\'s New Clothes

 

Civilization is the brocade, and the  embroidery

 covering up the ugly, but also concealing  beauty

It calls for another torrential flood

To see who is swimming in his birthday suit

When the tide goes out of mood

An emperor should possess Apollos  grace

 No clothing is needed to assume a godly face

 I could be the outspoken kid, naive  enough

to know no decency other than the Essence

Non-sense, Pessoa says, is true Innocence

 

皇帝的新衣

 

 文明是锦,以及锦上添花

用来遮丑,也遮住了美

需要再来一次洪水滔天

等潮退了,看谁在天体裸泳

皇帝应是天神临世,如阿波罗

任何衣饰对他的美都是妨害

但愿我是那个说真话的孩子

但愿我比他更无邪无耻

佩索阿说,不假思索才是真正的天真
