A few final solutions, like a duet

一些最终的解决办法，就像

With the undertaker: a voice in the clouds,

与送葬者的二重奏：一种声音在云端，

Another on earth, the one a voice

另一种在大地，一种是苍穹

Of ether, the other smelling of drink.

之声，另一种是酒的芬芳，

The voice of ether prevailing, the swell

苍穹之声占据上风，雪中

Of the undertaker’s song in the snow

送葬者的歌声激昂，

Apostrophizing wreaths, the voice

花圈放大的呼告，云端的

In the clouds serene and final, next

声音沉静，终止，接着

The grunted breath serene and final.

呢喃的气息沉静，终止，

The imagined and the real, thought

想象与现实，思想

And the truth, Dichtung und Wahrheit, all

与真理，诗和事实，一切

Confusion solved, as in a refrain

疑虑消散，如同有人

One keeps on playing year by year.

有节制地弹奏，年复一年，

Concerning the nature of things as they are.

触及事物如其所是的本性。
