在孤獨中入睡,在寂寞中醒來
Falling asleep alone, waking alone,
上帝知道你是什麼樣的人,瑪麗娜
God knows what you are, Marina,
妳從貧窮中汲取,妳歌唱
drawing song from poverty,
讓已經斷送掉的一切重新回到椅子上。
from your chair reclaiming all that’s lost.
妳把暗紅的炭火藏在心裏
You hide in your heart a glowing coal,
像一輪對夜色傾身的月亮。
tilt like the moon wheels toward darkness,
可是妳知道黑暗是怎麼一回事
knowing night’s ways.
妳的眼睛除了深淵已沒有別的。
But for the abyss, your gaze gains nothing.
沒有魔法師,沒有與大海談心的人
There’s no wizard. No one confides in the ocean.
親愛的,一百年以後依然如此
My dear, it’s the same this century,
篝火已經冷卻。沒有人可以讓我們快樂
the fire gone cold. No one makes us happy.
「人太多了,我感到從未有過的寂寞」
“So many people, so much loneliness.”
為此我悄悄流淚,在深夜送上問候。
For this I weep in silence, saluting midnight.
除此之外,只有又甘甜又刺痛的漆黑的柏樹
Now there’s only the sweet stab of black cypress,
只有耀眼的刀尖,那寧靜而奔騰的光。
only the gleaming blade,
that swift, serene gash of light.
