倚入午後 Leaning into the Afternoons

Leaning Into The Afternoons

 

Leaning into the afternoons I cast my sad nets
towards your oceanic eyes.

倚入午後

我撒下哀傷的網

向你似海茫然的眼眸

 

There in the highest blaze my solitude lengthens and flames,
its arms turning like a drowning man's.

在最高的焰火中, 我的孤獨在延展燃燒,

翻騰似將溺的手臂,

I send out red signals across your absent eyes
that smell like the sea or the beach by a lighthouse.

我發出紅色信號,向你茫然無神的眼,如徘徊在岸上燈塔的海洋,

 

You keep only darkness, my distant female,
from your regard sometimes the coast of dread emerges.

妳只保有黑暗, 我遠方的女人,

妳的凝視裏, 偶現可怖的海岸。

Leaning into the afternoons I fling my sad nets
to that sea that is thrashed by your oceanic eyes.
倚入午後，我撒下悲傷的網向不斷被妳海洋似的眼眸拍擊的大海。

The birds of night peck at the first stars
that flash like my soul when I love you.

夜鳥啄穿初昇的繁星,

閃爍如我愛你時的靈魂。
The night gallops on its shadowy mare
shedding blue tassels over the land.

暗夜隨其柔牝幽影奔馳,

藍緞浮影流瀉在蒼茫中。

Pablo Neruda 聶魯達
