第10章 新月集 (3)

字体:16+-

在支配着我们家庭的不灭精神之膝上,你已经被抚育了好几代了。

When in girlhood my heart was opening its petals, you hovered as a fragrance about it.

Your tender softness bloomed in my youthful limbs, like a glow in the sky before the sunrise.

Heaven’s first darling, twin-born with the morning light, you have floated down the stream of the world’s life and at last you have stranded on my heart.

As I gaze on your face, mystery overwhelms me; you who belong to all have become mine.

For fear of losing you I hold you tight to my breast. What magic has snared the world’s treasure in these slender arms of mine?

当我在女孩时代时,我的心如花瓣张开,你就像那一股散发出的花香。

你的温柔在我年轻的肢体上开花了,像一道曙光在太阳出来之前划过天空。

天堂里的第一个宠儿与晨曦一同降临,你沿着世界生命的溪流漂浮而下,终于在我的心头停泊。

当我凝视你的脸时,神秘感震撼着我,原属于一切的你,竟成了我的。

因为怕失去你,我把你紧紧地拥在怀里。是什么魔法把这世界的宝贝牵引到我这纤弱的臂膀中的呢?

When and Why

When I bring you colored toys, my child. I understand why there is such a play of colors on clouds, on water, and why flowers are painted in tints—when I give colored toys to you, my child.

When I sing to make you dance, I truly know why there is music in leaves, and why waves send their chorus of voices to the heart of the listening earth—when I sing to make you dance.

When I bring sweet things to your greedy hands, I know why there is honey in the cup of the flower, and why fruits are secretly filled with sweet juice—when I bring sweet things to your greedy hands.

When I kiss your face to make you smile, my darling, I surely understand what pleasure streams from the sky in morning light, and what delight the summer breeze brings to my body—when I kiss you to make you smile.
