杨天江诗二首
(英汉双语版)
作者:杨天江
Ashes of Pride
傲慢的余烬
The waves rolled by in salty tears of sailors and lost echoes
海浪翻涌,咸涩如水手的泪与失落回声
Shores of wasted time in crushed glass
海岸边铺满被岁月碾碎的玻璃时光
A sky painted of choked sobs and the dark strings of fate
天空染满窒息的哭声与命运黑色的琴弦
A maiden, hair woven by woods and forests, sat by the rocks
一位少女,发丝如森林编织,坐在岩石旁
She coughed, and coughed, uttering the lullabies of June
她咳着,咳着,吟出六月的摇篮曲
History in waters lapped at the sand, carrying fragments of glass into the depths
历史在水中轻拍沙滩,将玻璃的碎片卷入深渊
Darker and darker, louder and louder, the sun wouldn’t clear, Apollo’s chariot chained away
愈发黯淡,愈发嘈杂,太阳不再升起,阿波罗的战车被锁在远方
I was drowning.
我在下沉
The silence was my witness
寂静作证
Apathy and ignorance guilty
冷漠与无知是罪人
My soul the victim
而我的灵魂是受害者
But the waves weren’t her enemy - heavy with the silence of unheard tales
但浪潮并非她的敌人——那是未被倾听之事的沉默
The sand wasn’t glass - a reflection of unshed light
沙不是玻璃——而是未曾放射光芒的倒影
The skies weren’t dark, they were heavy with guilt
天空并非黯淡,只是沉重地负着罪感
And fate wasn’t cruel, apathetic was better
命运并不残酷,冷漠才更真实
Coughing, blood red, petals of roses blooming spider lilies
她咳出血红的花瓣,蔷薇化作彼岸花怒放
They then bloomed white, and the darkness faded
然后花瓣转为纯白,黑暗逐渐褪去
The waves sang their songs proudly
浪潮骄傲地高唱它的歌
Shores bright with sun
岸边沐浴在阳光之中
The skies held stars even during the day
天幕即便在白昼也挂满星辰
And the girl no longer coughed
而那女孩,再也没有咳嗽
White Lilies After the Storm
风暴之后的白百合
The edge of a fortress, a million lives shed
堡垒边缘,百万生命在此凋零
Price paid heavier than a god’s sacrifice
代价之沉,重于神明的献祭
Not lost was the riches, they laid there plainly, the gold fiery
财富并未遗失,它们赤裸裸地躺在那儿,金光灼灼
But the strings of love, severed by hubris
唯有爱之琴弦,被傲慢生生割断
A soul broken and heavy over a body long lost
一颗破碎沉重的灵魂,守着早已失落的肉身
Spirit drifting lost through the air
魂魄游离,在空气中漂泊无依
It whispered without sound, and longed without a heart
它无声低语,无心思念
The warrior sat, Pyrrha, hair licked gold with flames
战士坐着,名叫皮拉,发如金焰舔舐
Stained red and blue
沾染红与蓝的血痕
His heart laid on the war fields, the arrow driving through more than a body
他的心遗落战场,那箭穿透的不止是身体
But a soul that mourns
更是哀恸不已的灵魂
Lost to pride
毁于傲慢
Darkness ignites
黑暗点燃
Guilt and regret
罪与悔交织
Longing and adoration
渴望与深情燃烧
Lighting a fire
引发烈焰
Together once more
再次相聚
