【英译汉】鲁米诗
如果有人问你
能让我们彻骨铭心
完美爱是怎样？
你仰起头，说：
像这样。
当有人提及唯美夜空
爬到屋顶
婆娑起舞，说：
像这样。
If anyone asks you
how the perfect satisfaction
of all our sexual wanting
will look, lift your face
and say,
Like this.
When someone mentions the gracefulness
of the nightsky, climb up on the roof
and dance and say,
Like this.
现在该是沉默之时，
假如我告诉你：他的真实身份
你会冲破自我束缚
任凭展翅高飞
Now it is time for silence.
If I told you about His true essence
You would fly from your self and be gone,
and neither door nor roof could hold you back!
如果有人想知何为灵魂
或信仰甘甜
把你的头靠近他或她
你的脸紧紧贴近
像这样
若有人引用古诗之镜像
乌云遮盖月亮
通过缓慢地松开绳结
你的长袍
像这样
If anyone wants to know what “spirit” is,
or what “God’s fragrance” means,
lean your head toward him or her.
Keep your face there close.
Like this.

about clouds gradually uncovering the moon,
slowly loosen knot by knot the strings
of your robe.
Like this.

点燃手中的蜡烛。
像这样。

呼……
雅各布是怎样恢复视力？
呼……
一阵微风吹净眼睛。
像这样。
When someone asks what there is to do,
light the candle in his hand.
Like this.

Huuuuu.
How did Jacob’s sight return?
Huuuu.
A little wind cleans the eyes.
Like this.
当恋人们呻吟着，
他们是在向我们讲述故事。
像这样。
我是灵魂居住的天空
凝视这深邃的蓝色，
片刻，微风讲着一个秘密。
像这样。
When lovers moan,
they’re telling our story.
Like this.
I am a sky where spirits live.
Stare into this deepening blue,
while the breeze says a secret.
Like this.

don’t try to explain the miracle.
Kiss me on the lips.

to “die for love,” point
here.
如果有人问我多高？
皱眉，用你的手指丈量
在你的额头与皱纹之间。
这样高。
灵魂有时离开身体，
再回来。
当有人不相信这件事时，
就重回我的房间。
像这样。
If someone asks how tall I am, frown
and measure with your fingers the space
between the creases on your forehead.
This tall.
The soul sometimes leaves the body, the returns.
When someone doesn’t believe that,
walk back into my house.
Like this.
当沙姆斯从大不里士回来，
他会把头靠在门边
让我们出乎意料。
像这样。

he’ll put just his head around the edge
of the door to surprise us
Like this.
