A string of songs: Jerusalem
一串歌:耶路撒冷[/size
Ester Vitkon(Israel)
(以色列)依斯特.威克恩
1.
has your path been effaced, ancient longing?
minarets, churches, hotels borrow into the sky,
doves billow up like white incense above your walls,
a small boy on his father shoulder embraces his head
on the slope, the wall is not yet visible.
你的路程已被磨掉了,古老的渴望?
钻入天空的尖塔,教堂,旅馆,
鸽子像白色的赞美奔涌在你墙的上方
在这斜坡上一个小男孩坐在他父亲的肩上
抱着他的头,那墙已经看不见了。
2.
the beautiful girl in the very short skirt
walked backward,
looking forward with great respect,
my friend pressed close to stones,
kissed it and
wept.
On the men’s side were seen some who bent to caress
other ancient stones.
Around the delicate bar-mitzvah boy
his aunts kept up a marvelous trilling
that made the sleepy roots of the wall tremble…
那位穿超短裙的漂亮女孩
往后走去,
怀着崇高的敬意期待着,
我的朋友贴近了石头,
吻了它并且
流了泪。
在男人祷告的这边看见一些人弯腰
抚摸另一些古代的石头。
围绕着小小戒律酒吧的男孩
他的姑妈一直保持一种奇妙的颤音
这使得那些睡意的墙根颤抖......
