蔗尾蜂房

Ｚ
--Goenawan Mohamad (1941- )，羅浩原 譯

在馬赫里的月光
與夏樹之下
一千輛火車
正要去邊界接妳

為何無法去夢
為何時間橫加攔阻
慾念瞬間結束
太快了

然後桑葉紛紛掉落
還有熱淚
桑葉紛紛掉落
任妳離去


Z
--Goenawan Mohamad, translated by Harry Aveling

Beneath Marly moon
and summer trees
A thousand trains stand ready
to meet you at the border

Why is it impossible to dream
Why does time interpose
In a second desire fails
Suddenly—

Then the mulberry leaves fell
and tears
Mulberry leave fell
and you were free


*Marly-le-Roi is a small village some miles away from Paris, where the poet spent his holidays while studying in Europe. The town is built of old houses and surrounded by a vast, beautiful park and a forest in which the pre-Revolutionary royalty hunted.


Z
--Goenawan Mohamad

Di bawah bulan Marly
dan pohon musim panas
Ada seribu kereta-api
Menjemputmu pada batas

Mengapa mustahil mimpi
Mengapa waktu memintas
Seketika berachir berahi
Begitu bergegas

Lalu jatuh daun murbei
dan airmata panas
Lalu jatuh daun murbei
Dan engkau terlepas
