Chrysogonus' Translation #23 - from Kit Kelen's "easter thought"

Pikiran Paskah

aku teringat suatu masa
ketika ayah lupa membeli ikan
untuk Jumat Agung

kau pasti sangat sedih
karena Yesus tahu
dan ia adalah orang baik

 aku tahu
yakin, hanya kentang goreng
satu malam dalam setahun
tidak ada apa-apanya dibanding dipaku
bersama musuh bebuyutan Romawi
dan memainkan satu
nomor kiamat zombie
tetapi Yesus! …
dan
Kristus di atas sepeda!

dan seterusnya

I remember the year 
dad forgot to get the fish 
for Good Friday 

you had to be really sad 
because Jesus got it 
and he was a really good guy

I got it ...
and I knew having to just eat chips 
one night of the year
was nothing to getting nailed up 
along with Rome's any old enemies
and doing a personal 
zombie apocalypse number
...
but Jesus! …
and 
Christ on a bike! 
and so on
