[我家]
--Chairil Anwar (1922-1949),羅浩原 譯
我家築在一堆堆詩上
玻璃明亮從外面一覽無遺
我奔出廣廈前庭
我迷了路不會走
傍晚時我撐起的帳篷
在早上飛得不知去向
我家築在一堆堆詩上
我在此有妻也有子
彷彿還遙遙無期,卻說來就來
我不再求近黃昏
任甜言蜜句雜亂無章
倘有一人來催收

[Rumahku]
Rumahku dari unggun-timbun sadjak
Katja djernih dari luar segala nampak
Kulari dari gedong lebar halaman
Aku tersesat tak dapat djalan
Kemah kudirikan ketika sendjakala
Dipagi terbang entah kemana
Rumahku dari unggun-timbun sadjak
Disini aku berbini dan beranak
Rasanja lama lagi, tapi datangnja datang
Aku tidak lagi meraih petang
Biar berleleran kata manis madu
Djika menagih jang satu
[My House]
--translated by Burton Raffel
My house is built of heaped-up poems
Clear glass through which you can see everything
I ran away from the house, the big yard
I’m lost, I can’t find the way
I pitched a tent in the twilight
By morning it had flown who knows where
My house is built of heaped-up poems
Here’s where I married and had children
It feels like a long wait, but it will come
Now I don’t grope for the afternoon, the evening
Let the honeyed words melt
If anyone comes to collect on them.
