结婚日黄灿然 译

Wedding Day谢默斯·希尼


我很害怕。
I am afraid.
声音在白天里停止了
Sound has stopped in the day
而那些形像旋转又
And the images reel over
旋转。为什么老是那些眼泪,
And over. Why all those tears,

他脸上那荒凉的悲伤
The wild grief on his face
在那辆出租车外?哀悼的
Outside the taxi? The sap
能量从我们那些挥手
Of mourning rises
告别的客人身上升起。
In our waving guests.

你在高高的蛋糕背后唱歌
You sing behind the tall cake
像一个被抛弃的新娘,
Like a deserted bride
坚持、失常,
Who persists, demented,
然后举行仪式。
And goes through the ritual.

我走进男厕
When I went to the Gents
那里有一颗刺穿的心
There was a skewered heart
和一个爱情传说。让我
And a legend of love. Let me
伏在你的胸膛上一直睡到机场。
Sleep on your breast to the airport.
