泰戈尔《园丁集#1》
I try to wreath
all the morning, but the flowers slip and they drop
out.
整个早晨,我试弄花环,但花儿滑落且它们垂下(眼睛)出来。
You sit there
watching me in secret through the corner of your prying
eyes.
你坐在神秘角落通过你的眼角观察我。
Ask those eyes,
darkly planning mischief, whose fault it was.
问问那眼睛,漆黑地恶作剧,那是谁的过错。
I try to sing a
song, but in vain.
我试着唱一首歌,但徒劳无功。
A hidden smile
trembles on your lips; ask of it the reason of my
failure.
一个隐藏的微笑颤抖在你的唇;询问我失败原因。
Let your smiling
lips say on oath
让你的嘴唇宣誓说
how my voice
lost itself in silence like a drunken bee in the lotus
为何我的声音失于沉默,像一只蜜蜂醉于莲花
It is evening,
and the time for the flowers to close their petals.
现在是傍晚,正是花朵合拢花瓣的时候。
Give me leave to
sit by your side,
惩罚我允许我坐在你身边,
and bid my lips
to do the work that can be done in silence
并命令我嘴唇做可以沉默完成的工作
and in the dim
light of stars.
于朦胧星光。
