Dark Branches/corletwo

茂华

Street lamps reflect on the window pane,
Brown eyes still not shut,
What did they see?
Time goes by so slowly as if they're tired,
All the past fragmentary thoughts,
Can I picture them back alive?
But things are come to stay,
Word is cut and dry,
Never mind.
She is ready to suffer,
Facing the up coming pain,
She kowns how to struggle.
Tassle skirt is fluttering by the summer wind,
The eternal heart teached her how to live on her own


附译文

黑暗的树枝/柯林斯


街灯映在窗玻璃上，

棕色的眼睛仍然没有闭上，

他们看到了什么？

时间过得很慢，好像他们累了一样，

过去的一切零碎的思想，

我可以想象他们活着回来吗？

但一切都在继续，

字刻在树干，

不要介意.

她已准备好受苦了，

面对即将到来的痛苦，

她知道如何去奋斗。

带动裙子飞舞的夏天的风，

永恒的心教她如何自己生活。

茂华

基本尊重原著者句式，有两处被我稍作改动，如其他诗友有异议，可斟酌。
