[苏格兰]罗伯特彭斯/Robert Burns
轻轻地流淌,甜美的亚顿河,在青碧的山坡之间,轻轻地流淌,我为你歌唱,把你颂扬;伴着你的流水潺潺,我的玛莉安然入眠,轻轻地流淌,甜美的亚顿河,别把她的梦儿搅散。
野鸽啊,你的回音穿过山谷,乌鸦啊,你狂野的哨音在荆棘丛生的溪谷回**,绿冠的田凫啊,你这尖声啼叫的老祖,请不要惊扰我熟睡的姑娘。
多么高峻啊,甜美的亚顿河,你周围的山丘,你的曲线,那么清晰、曲折而俊秀。
正午的骄阳高高挂起,那是我日常漫步的去处,目光追随着我的羊群和玛丽甜美的小屋。
你的堤岸与青翠的河谷是那么令人心醉,林间的樱草花正喷芳吐翠;当温煦的黄昏为草哭泣,芬芳的白桦树便将我与我的玛丽荫蔽。
莹澈的水流,亚顿河啊,你悠悠流淌,温婉可人,曲折蜿蜒,绕过玛丽的房居,当她迎着清波,去采撷芳馥的花朵,你的流水如此顽皮,濯涤着她洁白的双足。
轻轻地流淌,甜美的亚顿河,在青碧的山坡之间,轻轻地流淌,甜美的河流,我快乐的主题;伴着你的流水潺潺,我的玛丽安然入眠,轻轻地流淌,甜美的亚顿河,别把她的梦儿搅散。
Flow gently,sweet Afton,among thy green braes,Flow gently,I’ll sing thee a song in thy praise;My Mary’s asleep by thy murmuring stream,Flow gently,sweet Afton,disturb not her dream.
Thou stock-dove whose echo resounds thro’the glen,Ye wild whistling blackbirds in yon thorny den,Thou green-crested lapwing,thy screaming forbear,I charge you,disturb not my slumbering fair.
How lofty,sweet Afton,thy neighbouring hills,Far mark’d with the courses of clear winding rills;There daily I wander as noon rises high,My flocks and my Mary’s sweet cot in my eye.
How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below,Where,wild in the woodlands,the primroses blow;There oft,as mild Evening weeps over the lea,The sweet-scented birch shades my Mary and me.
