【往事回味】不靜之墳----The Unquiet Grave---- Anonymous ballard

不靜之墳

習習風今涼
絲雨微漂揚
吾生僅一愛
至愛卻逝亡
冰墳伊獨躺
為伊盡吾力
世間少年意
哀坐歿墳際
一歲一日裏
一歲一日畢
亡者啟唇語
何人吾墳泣
催吾不得息
吾答摯愛語
吾坐君之墳
不願君入息
吾僅求一吻
君唇涼如泥
此乃吾尋覓
汝欲求一吻
吾息厚成泥
汝若得此吻
汝日不長計
去處舊青園
昔日踱同覓
雋芳昔共賞
謝向枝之畔
枯枝萎亦幹
吾等心俱爛
汝當慰且安
直至神之喚

不靜之墳，是哈佛學者James Child（1876年獲任，成為第一位哈佛大學英文教授）收錄的一首英文民謠，據載成詩於1400年以後。 《The Unquite Grave》被廣泛承認為是《Child Ballads》集子(共收305首）裏最美的幾首之一。在我看來，該是最淒美的了。因為它本來也是民謠，故仿古詩十九首風格，譯為五言格式。

The Unquiet Grave---an English folk song, anonymous，dated from 1400

 
 “The wind doth blow today, my love,
And a few small drops of rain;
I never had but one true-love,
In cold grave she was lain.
“I’ll do as much for my true-love
As any young man may;
I’ll sit and mourn all at her grave
For a twelvemonth and a day.”
The twelvemonth and a day being up,
The death began to speak:
“Oh who sits weeping on my grave,
And will not let me sleep?”
“’T is I, my love, sits on your grave,
And will not let you sleep;
For I crave one kiss of your clay-cold lips,
And that is all I seek.”
“You crave one kiss of my clay-cold lips,
But my breath smells earthy strong;
If you have one kiss of my clay-cold lips,
Your time will not be long.
“’T is down in yonder garden green,
Love, where we used to walk,
The finest flower that e’re was seen
Is withered to a stalk.
“The stalk is withered dry, my love,
So will our hearts decay;
So make yourself content, my love,
Till God calls you away.”
