《牛脂燈》by策蘭

牛脂燈 （TALGLICHT）

 

僧侶們用毛茸茸的手指翻開書頁：九月。

傑森正朝剛發芽的種子扔雪。

森林賜你一副手的項圈，於是你死一般走過繩索。

你發間染上了一抹更深的藍，而我在談論愛。

我談到貝殼，和輕雲，還有一隻小船在雨中含苞。

一匹小公馬奔跑於翻動樹葉的手指間——

黑色的大門彈開，我歌唱：

我們曾如何在這裏生活？

 

TALLOW LIGHT

by Paul Celan

 

The monks with hairy fingers laid open the book: September.

Jason now throws snow at the sprouting seed.

A necklace of hands the forest gave you, so dead you walk the rope.

A darker blue becomes part of your hair, and I speak of love.

Shells I speak and light clouds, and a boat buds in the rain.

A little stallion gallops over the leaf?turning fingers —

Black the gate leaps open, I sing:

How did we live here?
