泰戈尔 ＜＜飞 鸟 集＞＞
２６１
让你的音乐如一柄利刃，直刺入市井喧扰的心中吧。 Let your music, like a sword, pierce the noise of the market to its heart. ２６２ 这树的颤动之叶，触动着我的心，象一个婴儿的手指。 The trembling leaves of this tree touch my heart like the fingers of an infant child. ２６３ 小花睡在尘土里。 它寻求蛱蝶走的道路。 The little flower lies in the dust. It sought the path of the butterfly. ２６４ 我是在道路纵横的世界上。 夜来了。打开您的门吧，家之世界呵！ I am in the world of the roads. The night comes. Open thy gate, thou world of the home. ２６５ 我已经唱过了您的白天的歌。 在黄昏的时候，让我拿着您的灯走过风雨飘摇的道路吧。 I have sung the songs of thy day. In the evening let me carry thy lamp through the stormy path. ２６６ 我不要求你进我的屋里。 你到我无量的孤寂里来吧，我的爱人！ I do not ask thee into the house. Come into my infinite loneliness, my Lover. ２６７ 死亡隶属于生命，正与生一样。 举足是走路，正如落足也是走路。 Death belongs to life as birth does. The walk is in the raising of the foot as in the laying of it down. ２６８ 我已经学会在花与阳光里微语的意义。－－再教我明白你在苦与死 中所说的话吧。 I have learnt the simple meaning of thy whispers in flowers and sunshine ---teach me to know thy words in pain and death. ２６９ 夜的花朵来晚了，当早晨吻着她时，她颤栗着，叹息了一声，萎落在地上 了。 The night's flower was late when the morning kissed her, she shivered and sighed and dropped to the ground. ２７０ 从万物的愁苦中，我听见了“永恒母亲”的呻吟。 Through the sadness of all things I hear the crooning of the Eternal Mother. ２７１ 大地呀，我到你岸上时是一个陌生人，住在你屋内时是一个宾客，离开你 的门时是一个朋友。 I came to your shore as a stranger, I lived in your house as a guest, I leave your door as a friend, my earth. ２７２ 当我去时，让我的思想到你那里来，如那夕阳的余光，映在沉默的星天的 边上。 Let my thoughts come to you, when I am gone, like the after glow of sunset at the margin of starry silence. ２７３ 在我的心头燃点起那休憩的黄昏星吧，然后让黑夜向我微语着爱情。 Light in my heart the evening star of rest and then let the night whisper to me of love. ２７４ 我是一个在黑暗中的孩子。 我从夜的被单里向您伸出我的双手，母亲。 I am a child in the dark. I stretch my hands through the coverlet of night for thee, Mother. ２７５ 白天的工作完了。把我的脸掩藏在您的臂间吧，母亲。 让我入梦吧。 The day of work is done. Hide my face in your arms, Mother. Let me dream. ２７６ 集会时的灯光，点了很久，会散时，灯便立刻灭了。 The lamp of meeting burns long; it goes out in a moment at the parting. ２７７ 当我死时，世界呀，请在你的沉默中，替我留着“我已经爱过了”这句话 吧。 One word keep for me in thy silence, O World, when I am dead, I have loved. ２７８ 我们在热爱世界时便生活在这世界上。 We live in this world when we love it. ２７９ 让死者有那不朽的名，但让生者有那不朽的爱。 Let the dead have the immortality of fame, but the living the immortality of love. ２８０ 我看见你，象那半醒的婴孩在黎明的微光里看见他的母亲，于是微笑而又 睡去了。 I have seen thee as the half-awakened child sees his mother in the dusk of the dawn and then smiles and sleeps again. ２８１ 我将死了又死，以明白生是无穷无尽的。 I shall die again and again to know that life is inexhaustible. ２８２ 当我和拥挤的人群一同在路上走过时，我看见您从阳台上送过来的微笑， 我歌唱着，忘却了所有的喧哗。 While I was passing with the crowd in the road I saw thy smile from the balcony and I sang and forgot all noise. ２８３ 爱就是充实了的生命，正如盛满了酒的酒杯。 Love is life in its fulness like the cup with its wine. ２８４ 他们点了他们自己的灯，在他们的寺院内，吟唱他们自己的话语。 但是小鸟们却在你的晨光中，唱着你的名字，－－因为你的名字便是快乐。 They light their own lamps and sing their own words in their temples. But the birds sing thy name in thine own morning light, --- for thy name is joy. ２８５ 领我到您的沉寂的中心，使我的心充满了歌吧。 Lead me in the centre of thy silence to fill my heart with songs. ２８６ 让那些选择了他们自己的焰火咝咝的世界的，就生活在那里吧。 我的心渴望着您的繁星，我的上帝。 Let them live who choose in their own hissing world of fireworks. My heart long s for thy stars, my God. ２８７ 爱的痛苦环绕着我的一生，象汹涌的大海似地唱；而爱的快乐却象鸟儿们 在话林里似地唱着。 Love's pain sang round my life like the unplumbed sea, and love's joy sang like birds in its flowering groves. ２８８ 假如您愿意，您就熄了灯吧。 我将明白您的黑暗，而且将喜爱它。 Put out the lamp when thou wishest. I shall know thy darkness and shall love it. ２８９ 当我在那日子的终了，站在您的面前时，您将看见我的伤疤，而知道我有 我的许多创伤，但也有我的医治的法儿。 When I stand before thee at the day s end thou shalt see my scars and know that I had my wounds and also my healing. ２９０ 总有一天，我要在别的世界的晨光里对你唱道：“我以前在地球的光里， 在人的爱里，已经见过你了。” Some day I shall sing to thee in the sunrise of some other world, I have seen thee before in the light of the earth, in the love of man. ２９１ 从别的日子里飘浮道我的生命里的云，不再落下雨点或引起风暴了，却只 给予我的夕阳的天空以色彩。 Clouds come floating into my life from other days no longer to shed rain or usher storm but to give colour to my sunset sky. ２９２ 真理引起了反对它自己的狂风骤雨，那场风雨吹散了真理的广播的种子。 Truth raises against itself the storm that scatters its seeds broadcast. ２９３ 昨夜的风雨给今日的早晨戴上了金色的和平。 The storm of the last night has crowned this morning with golden peace. ２９４ 真理仿佛带了它的结论而来；而那结论却产生了它的第二个。 Truth seems to come with its final word; and the final word gives birth to its next. ２９５ 他是有福的，因为他的名望并没有比他的真实更光亮。 Blessed is he whose fame does not outshine his truth. ２９６ 您的名字的甜蜜充溢着我的心，而我忘掉了我自己的，－－就象您的早晨 的太阳升起时，那大雾便消失了。 Sweetness of thy name fills my heart when I forget mine---like thy morning sun when the mist is melted. ２９７ 静悄悄的黑夜具有母亲的美丽，而吵闹的白天具有孩子的美丽。 The silent night has the beauty of the mother and the clamorous day of the child. ２９８ 但人微笑时，世界爱了他；但他大笑时世界便怕他了。 The world loved man when he smiled. The world became afraid of him when he laughed. ２９９ 神等待着人在智慧中重新获得童年。 God waits for man to regain his childhood in wisdom. ３００ 让我感到这个世界乃是您的爱的成形吧，那末，我的爱也将帮助着它。 Let me feel this world as thy love taking form, then my ove will help it. ３０１ 您的阳光对着我的心头的冬天微笑，从来不怀疑它的春天的花朵。 Thy sunshine smiles upon the winter days of my heart, never doubting of its spring flowers. ３０２ 神在他的爱里吻着“有涯”，而人却吻着“无涯”。 God kisses the finite in his love and man the infinite. ３０３ 您越过不毛之年的沙漠而到达了圆满的时刻。 Thou crossest desert lands of barren years to reach the moment of fulfilment. ３０４ 神的静默使人的思想成熟而为语言。 God's silence ripens man's thoughts into speech. ３０５ “永恒的旅客”呀，你可以在我的歌众找到你的足迹。 Thou wilt find, Eternal Traveller, marks of thy footsteps across my songs. ３０６ 让我不至羞辱您吧，父亲，您在您的孩子们身上显出您的光荣。 Let me not shame thee, Father, who displayest thy glory in thy children. ３０７ 这一天是不快活的。光在蹙额的云下，如一个被责打的儿童，灰白的脸 上留着泪痕；风又号叫着，似一个受伤的世界的哭声。但是我知道，我正 跋涉着去会我的朋友。 Cheerless is the day, the light under frowning clouds is like a punished child with traces of tears on its pale cheeks, and the cry of the wind is like the cry of a wounded world. But I know I am travelling to meet my Friend. ３０８ 今天晚上棕榈叶在嚓嚓地作响，海上有大浪，满月呵，就象世界在心脉悸 跳。从什么不可知的天空，您在您的沉默里带来了爱的痛苦的秘密？ Tonight there is a stir among the palm leaves, a swell in the sea, Full Moon, like the heart throb of the world. From what unknown sky hast thou carried in thy silence the aching secret of love? ３０９ 我梦见一颗星，一个光明岛屿，我将在那里出生。在它快速的闲暇深处， 我的生命将成熟它的事业，象阳光下的稻田。 I dream of a star, an island of light, where I shall be born and in the depth of its quickening leisure my life will ripen its works like the rice-field in the autumn sun. ３１０ 雨中的湿土的气息，就响从渺小的无声的群众那里来的一阵巨大的赞美歌 声。 The smell of the wet earth in the rain rises like a great chant of praise from the voiceless multitude of the insignificant. ３１１ 说爱情会失去的那句话，乃是我们不能够当作真理来接受的一个事实。 That love can ever lose is a fact that we cannot accept as truth. ３１２ 我们将有一天会明白，死永远不能够夺去我们的灵魂所获得的东西。因为 她所获得的，和她自己是一体。 We shall know some day that death can never rob us of that which our soul has gained, for her gains are one with herself. ３１３ 神在我的黄昏的微光中，带着花到我这里来。这些花都是我过去的，在他 的花篮中还保存得很新鲜。 God comes to me in the dusk of my evening with the flowers from my past kept fresh in his basket. ３１４ 主呀，当我的生之琴弦都已调得谐和时，你的手的一弹一奏，都可以发出 爱的乐声来。 When all the strings of my life will be tuned, my Master, then at every touch of thine will come out the music of love. ３１５ 让我真真实实地活着吧，我的上帝。这样，死对于我也就成了真实的了。 Let me live truly, my Lord, so that death to me become true. ３１６ 人类的历史在很忍耐地等待着被侮辱者的胜利。 Man's history is waiting in patience for the triumph of the insulted man. ３１７ 我这一刻感到你的眼光正落在我的心上，象那早晨阳光中的沉默落在已收 获的孤寂的田野上一样。 I feel thy gaze upon my heart this moment like the sunny silence of the morning upon the lonely field whose harvest is over. ３１８ 在这喧哗的波涛起伏的海中，我渴望着咏歌之鸟。 I long for the Island of Songs across this heaving Sea of Shouts. ３１９ 夜的序曲是开始于夕阳西下的音乐，开始于它对难以形容的黑暗所作的庄 严的赞歌。 The prelude of the night is commenced in the music of the sunset, in its solemn hymn to the ineffable dark. ３２０ 我攀登上高峰，发现在名誉的荒芜不毛的高处，简直找不到一个遮身之地。 我的引导者呵，领导着我在光明逝去之前，进到沉静的山谷里去吧。在那里，一 生的收获将会成熟为黄金的智慧。 I have scaled the peak and found no shelter in fame's bleak and barren height. Lead me, my Guide, before the light fades, into the valley of quiet where life's harvest mellows into golden wisdom. ３２１ 在这个黄昏的朦胧里，好些东西看来都仿佛是幻象一般－－尖塔 的底层在黑暗里消失了，树顶象是墨水的模糊的斑点似的。我将等待着黎明，而 当我醒来的时候，就会看到在光明里的您的城市。 Things look phantastic in this dimness of the dusk---the spires whose bases are lost in the dark and tree tops like blots of ink. I shall wait for the morning and wake up to see thy city in the light. ３２２ 我曾经受苦过，曾经失望过，曾经体会过“死亡”，于是我以我在这伟大 的世界里为乐。 I have suffered and despaired and known death and I am glad that I am in this great world. ３２３ 在我的一生里，也有贫乏和沉默的地域；它们是我忙碌的日子得到日光与 空气的几片空旷之地。 There are tracts in my life that are bare and silent. They are the open spaces where my busy days had their light and air. ３２４ 我的未完成的过去，从后边缠绕到我身上，使我难于死去。请从它那里释 放了我吧。 Release me from my unfulfilled past clinging to me from behind making death difficult. ３２５ “我相信你的爱。”让这句话做我的最后的话。 Let this be my last word, that I trust thy love. |
