Minstrel Man
Langston Hughes
Because my mouth
Is wide with laughter
And my throat
Is deep with song,
You did not think
I suffer after
I've held my pain
So long.
Because my mouth
Is wide with laughter
You do not hear
My inner cry:
Because my feet
Are gay with dancing,
You do not know
I die.
唱诗人
因为我
开怀大笑
因为我
放声歌唱，
你看不到
我的磨难
我忍着痛
太久
因为我
开怀大笑
你听不到
我心里的哭喊：
因为我
欢足舞蹈，
你不知道
我在死去
