Kimi的西西弗之歌,令人惊喜的是,它居然放弃了它擅长的双行换韵模式,改用交错韵(采用了少量近似韵)来展现主人公与宿命的纠缠:

In the realm of shadows, where the sun's warm kiss
Never reaches, where the light is but a myth,
I, Sisyphus, am doomed to toil and press
Upon this boulder, with my weary wrist.

A curse from gods, a punishment severe,
For my deceit, for my ambition's height,
To roll this stone, this burden, year on year,
Up the steep hill, in a never-ending fight.

I push, I strain, with all my might and main,
The rock ascends, inch by inch, so slow,
But as it nears the summit, it's in vain,
For gravity's cruel pull, it must bestow.

Down it rolls, with a thunderous, mocking sound,
Back to the base, where my task begins,
And I must start anew, my heart unbound,
Yet heavy with the weight of endless sins.

Each day the same, a cycle of despair,
A test of will, a trial of the soul,
In this dark valley, where hope is rare,
I find myself, my spirit growing old.

But in this curse, I've learned a bitter truth,
That life's own boulders we must all embrace,
In every man's heart, there's a Sisyphus,
A struggle with the fates, a ceaseless chase.

So, I endure, for in this endless task,
I've found a purpose, a reason to be,
In every push, in every step I ask,
What is the meaning, what is it to be free?

And though my body aches, and though I tire,
I find in this despair a strange delight,
For in my struggle, I am truly mired,
In the essence of being, in the fight.

So, let the gods look on with scornful eyes,
For in my curse, I've found a kind of grace,
I am Sisyphus, the rock, the skies,
And in my climb, I find my human face.
