蔗尾蜂房

[夜]
--Chairil Anwar (1922-1949)，羅浩原 譯

天開始黑
夜色尚未充塞
我們仍然警醒著
—色摩比利山口？—
—不知名的屠夫？—
但待會兒
在白晝鋪展開以前
我們已淪喪
消亡……

1945


[Malam]
--Chairil Anwar

Mulai kelam
belum buntu malam,
kami masih sadja berdjaga
—Thermopylae?—
—djagal tidak dikenal?—
tapi nanti
sebelum siang membentang
kami sudah tenggelam
hilang……


[Evening]
--Chairil Anwar, translated by Burton Raffel
It begins to darken
But not yet into that dead-end
Which is night;
We’re still only
Watching, waiting
—for Thermopylae?—
—an unknown Butcher?—
Yet later
Before the day-light spreads out
We’ll have sunk down
away……
