I love to watch, while you are lazing,

亲爱的懒虫，我多么

Your skin. It iridesces

陶醉于你美丽的胴体，

Like silk or satin, smoothly-glazing

你的肤泽光润，

The light that it caresses.

莹洁似素丝！

Under your tresses dark and deep

自你的发际，

Where acrid perfumes drown,

流出香气浓馥，

A fragrant sea whose breakers sweep

似芳甜流动的海

In mazes blue or brown,

随碧波摇晃起伏。

My soul, a ship, to the attraction

像一艘船

Of breezes that bedizen

在晨风中醒来，

Its swelling canvas, clears for action

我载梦的灵魂

And seeks a far horizon.

已为出航而迫不及待。

Your eyes where nothing can be seen

宅于你眸子的，

Either of sweet or bitter

也非风雨也非晴，

But gold and iron mix their sheen,

它们像两颗冰冷的钻石，

Seem frosty gems that glitter.

金与铁的光芒交映。

To see you rhythmically advancing

遗世的美人，

Seems to my fancy fond

你踏着节拍款款举步，

As if it were a serpent dancing

令人想到魔棒前，

Waved by the charmer's wand.

灵蛇正闻咒起舞。

Under the languorous moods that weigh it,

似不胜慵懒的重荷，

Your childish head bows down:

你把弱似婴儿的头，

Like a young elephant's you sway it

时而摆弄，

With motions soft as down.

以幼象的嫩柔。

Your body leans upon the hips

你身体的屈伸，

Like a fine ship that Iaves

像一艘优雅的船，

Its hull from side to side, and dips

驰行在港口之间，

Its yards into the waves.

浪花时时飞上桅杆。

When, as by glaciers ground, the spate

似冰山的轰然碰撞

Swells hissing from beneath,

使冰流陡涨，

The water of your mouth, elate,

你也舌泛津液

Rises between your teeth —

齿颊生凉。

It seems some old Bohemian vintage

我似饮波希米的美酒，

Triumphant, fierce, and tart,

苦涩而醇，

A liquid heaven that showers a mintage

流动的天

Of stars across my heart.

撒我心以繁星纷纷。
