无心剑中译泰戈尔《吉檀迦利（2）》

２

When thou commandest me to sing it seems that my heart would break with pride; and I look to thy face, and tears come to my eyes.

当你命我歌唱时，我的心骄傲欲裂；凝望着你的脸，不禁热泪盈眶。

All that is harsh and dissonant in my life melts into one sweet harmony---and my adoration spreads wings like a glad bird on its flight across the sea.

我生命里的一切凝涩与冲突，融入一片美妙的和谐——我的爱慕，像只快乐的鸟儿，展翅飞越大海。

I know thou takest pleasure in my singing. I know that only as a singer I come before thy presence.

我知道，你喜欢我歌唱。我知道，唯有作为歌者，我才会到你面前。

I touch by the edge of the far-spreading wing of my song thy feet which I could never aspire to reach.

我的歌儿展翅，那远伸的翅梢，触到你的双脚，这是我从未渴望过的。

Drunk with the joy of singing I forget myself and call thee friend who art my lord.

陶醉于欢唱，我忘乎所以；你本是我的主，我却叫你朋友。
