一个老人在他的死亡中醒来|中文翻译

An old man awake in his own death

作者: 马克·斯特兰德(Mark Strand)
译: 归束(Yakuback)

This is the place that was promised
when I went to sleep,
这是我入睡时约定的场所
taken from me when I woke.
亦是我醒来被掠夺的场所

This is the place unknown to anyone,
这是不为任何人所知的地方
where names of ships and stars
在这里船只与星星的名字
drift out of reach.
向触及不到的远方漂离

The mountains are not mountains anymore;
山峦不再是山
the sun is not the sun.
太阳也不再是太阳
One tends to forget how it was;
逐渐忘记了它们曾经的样子

I see myself, I see
我看着自己, 我看到
the shore of darkness on my brow.
额头上黑暗的海岸
Once I was whole, once I was young...
我曾经健全, 曾经年轻

As if it mattered now
现在总感觉它很重要
and you could hear me
我的声音能够传达你的耳畔
and the weather of this place would ever cease.
并且 这个场所将一直笼罩着风雨
