拾荒(译)——任明信

The scavenger

他和他的茧一起

他走过的路都干净

He walks with his calluses

And his roads are always clean

---

他拥有的宝贝

都曾被遗弃

他不嫌它们脏

都抱它们紧紧

What he treasures now

Were abandoned before

Never minds their dirty

But he holds them tightly

---

他用破杯子喝水

喝得满脸

龟裂的皮肤

嵌著城市的皱纹

He drinks with a broken glass

Thus his cracked face

Is decorated with the city's wrinkles

---

他比我们更懂得失去

在命运前摊手

掌纹也比我们痕深

He knows more about lost

While unfolding his hands in front of life

His palmprint is also deeper than us

---

他赤手赤脚

怀抱著酒瓶和烟蒂

心底再没有

可以爱的人

With his bare hands and bare feet

He holds wine bottles and cigarette butts

And in the bottom of his heart

There is no one to love

---

他喜欢孤独

他知道有人的路

不一定比较安全

He likes to be alone

And he knows the roads

More traveled are often less safer
