I Like for You to Be Still

我喜歡你是寂靜的

By Neruda

聶魯達 作 李宗榮 譯

I like for you to be still: it is as though you are absent

我喜歡你是寂靜的，仿佛你消失了一樣，

and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you

你從遠處聆聽我，我的聲音卻無法觸及你。

It seems as though your eyes had flown away

and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth

好像你的雙眼已經飛離去，如同一個吻，封緘了你的嘴。

As all things are filled with my soul

如同所有的事物充滿了我的靈魂，

you emerge from the things, filled with my soul

你從所有的事物中浮現(xiàn)，充滿了我的靈魂。

You are like my soul, a butterfly of dreams

你像我的靈魂，一只夢的蝴蝶。

and you are like the word Melancholy

你如同憂郁這個詞。

I like for you to be still, and you seem far away

我喜歡你是寂靜的，好像你已遠去。

It sounds as though you are lamenting, a butterfly cooing like a dove

你聽起來像在悲嘆，一只如鴿悲鳴的蝴蝶。

And you hear me from far away, and my voice does not reach you

你從遠處聽見我，我的聲音無法觸及你：

Let me come to be still in your silence

讓我在你的沉默中安靜無聲。

And let me talk to you with your silence

并且讓我借你的沉默與你說話，

that is bright as a lamp, simple as a ring

你的沉默明亮如燈，簡單如指環(huán)，

You are like the night, with its stillness and constellations

你就像黑夜，擁有寂寞與群星。

Your silence is that of a star, as remote and candid

你的沉默就是星星的沉默，遙遠而明亮。

I like for you to be still: it is as though you are absent

我喜歡你是寂靜的，仿佛你消失了一樣，

distant and full of sorrow, as though you had died

遙遠而且哀傷，仿佛你已經死了。

One word then,>彼時，一個字，一個微笑，已經足夠。

And I’m happy, happy that it’s not true

而我會覺得幸福，因那不是真的而覺得幸福。
