孤独(Alone)

典子

Alone

By Edgar Allan Poe

From childhood's hour I have not beer

As others were—I have not seen

As others saw—I could not bring

My passions from a common spring—

From the same source I have not taken

My sorrow —I could not awaken

My heart to joy at the same tone—

And all I lov'd—I lov'd alone —

Then—in my childhood—in the dawn

Of a most stormy life—was drawn

From ev'ry depth of good and ill

The mystery which binds me still—

From the torrent,or the fountain—

From the red cliff of the mountain—

From the sun that' round me roll'd

In its autumn tint of gold—

From the lightning in the sky

As it pass'd me flying by—

From the thunder,and the storm—

And the cloud that took the form

(When the rest of Heaven was blue)

Of a demon in my view—

孤独
[美] 埃德加.艾伦.玻

译者 典子

我从小就跟别的孩子不一样

他们见过的东西我从未看到

平常的溪水不能带给我激情

寻常的春天里我获不得激情

同样的源泉洗不去我的悲伤

同样的原由挥不去我的愁絲

我也没因同样的原因而悲伤

一个调子唤不醒内心的快乐

而我所爱的都是我独自的爱

我爱的一切我独自爱的一切

它们存在于我孤独的童年里

存在于我那风雨人生的黎明

而我的人生来自善恶的深处

那些依然綑绑我的神秘之物

来自那湍湍急流或粼粼飞泉

来自那山顶火红的悬崖峭壁

来自那围绕着我旋转的太阳

大阳在秋日里泛看缕缕金光

它们来自飞越我身旁的闪电

来自那暴风骤雨和霹雳雷鸣

来自眼前湛蓝天穹中的云朵

云朵变成了形形色色的魔鬼
