I have walked many roads,

我曾走过许多大道

I have found many paths;

也曾开辟许多小径

I have sailed a hundred seas,

我曾数次杨帆远航

and landed on a hundred shores.

也曾屡屡靠岸停泊

Everywhere I have seen

我四处所见

caravans of sadness,

悲伤的商旅

sober and melancholy

高傲而忧郁的

drunk with black shadow,

拖着长长黑影的醉汉

and pedants of cloth

文人注视着布毯

who look, quietly, and think

缄默无言，若有所思

that they know, because they do not drink

全然不理睬

the wine in the taverns.

小酒馆的葡萄酒

Bad people who walk

丑恶之人行走四方

and in walking soil the land…

将糟践这片土地

And in all the places I have seen

我四处所见

people who dance or play,

人们舞蹈亦或嬉戏

when they can, and work

只要一有时间，然后耕作在

their four spans of land.

巴掌大的土地上

Never, when they come to a place,

从不，当他们抵达某处

do they ask where to go.

从不过问身在何方

When they make their way, they ride

行走之时，

on the back of an old mule,

就骑在老驴的背上，

and do not know to hurry

他们从不知晓何谓匆忙

not even on the days of the fiesta.

即使在节日的日子里

Where they have wine, they drink wine;

倘若有酒，便去喝酒

where they have no wine, fresh water.

倘若没酒，就喝凉水。

They are good people who live,

他们都是善人

work, pass the time and dream,

生活，工作，行走，做梦

and on a day like many,

然后在那平常的一天

rest beneath the soil.

便在大地之下长眠。
