毕摩的声音
 ――献给彝人的祭司之二

你听见它的时候
它就在梦幻之上
如同一缕淡淡的青烟
为什么群山在这样的时候
才充满着永恒的寂静
这是谁的声音？它漂浮在人鬼之间
似乎已经远离了人的躯体
然而它却在真实与虚无中
同时用人和神的口说出了
生命与死亡的赞歌
当它呼喊太阳、星辰、河流和英雄的祖先
召唤神灵与超现实的力量
死去的生命便开始了复活！

  Bimo’s Voice
  ---- Dedicated to the pastors of the Yi nationality

When you hear it
it is above the dream
like a wisp of light smoke
Why, only this moment
the mountains are full of eternal quietness
Whose voice is it? It floats between man and ghosts
It seems as if having left man’s body far away
But it stays between being and nothingness
and has spoken the song of praise of life and death
with the mouth both of man and gods
When it calls the sun, the stars, the rivers and the heroic forefathers
calls gods and the supernatural power
the died lives will begin to revive !
