Selected Poems of JüRI TALVET （Set Three）

Compiledand translated by Yang Zongze

蜿蜒曲折的葡萄牙語單詞

葡萄牙語詞匯蜿蜒曲折，

潛入那些隧道之中，

那里空氣仿佛即將耗盡，黑暗的

墻壁將它們擠壓在一起。但是

隨后，突然從里斯本的七座山丘間

躥出一輛小小的黃色有軌電車，興高采烈，

卻又帶著一百種凝重的神情，

從車窗向外凝視著（此刻，我那

年邁瘦小的母親在家里，在她的床罩下

翻了個(gè)身。黑夜啊，你為何不幫我合上雙眼？）

“法多（Fado）”意味著命運(yùn)：字母“O”變成了

一個(gè)低頭喪氣的“U”。

但這里并沒有無盡的黑暗——

相反，從隆冬里

傳來西貝柳斯憂傷的圓舞曲。

并非所有的悲傷都以“法多”作結(jié)，

“全部”并不能窮盡“總體”的含義。

在第五帝國之前，

還有第六帝國。費(fèi)爾南多·佩索阿

就是那個(gè)時(shí)代的詩人，只是那時(shí)他的名字

叫若昂·阿雷亞，或者用我們的

方言來說，叫尤漢·利夫。

Portuguese Words Twist

Portuguese words twist

dive into tunnels inwhich

the air seems to runout dark

walls force themtogether But

then suddenly from theseven

throats of Lisbonleaps

a tiny yellowstreetcar cheerful

but with a hundredgrave expressions

gazing from itswindows (Just now my

tiny old mother turnedat home

under her bedcoversNight why

don’t you close myeyelids?)

Fado means fate: O becomes

a U that hangs headdown

But there is no deepdarkness –

instead from deepwinter

Sibelius’s sad waltzsounds

Not all sadness endsin fado

Todo doesn’t exhaust totality

Before the fifthempire

there was the sixthone There too

Fernando Pessoa livedand

wrote poems but hisname

was Jo?o Areia or inour

dialect Juhan Liiv

一把黑色雨傘

她大概二十五到三十歲之間。就外表來看，她的每一個(gè)動(dòng)作

都把自由和泥濘混在了一起。這就是她緊張的原因。

她脫下皮夾克，背心下顯露出

豐滿的胸部，在她裸露而健美的手臂上

有紋身的花朵。她從牛仔褲口袋里

掏出藥片，扔進(jìn)嘴里。

她注意到旁邊座位上有水漬，猶豫了

片刻，她用黑色圍巾把它擦干，

接著把圍巾扔到座位下面她的包上。她舒舒服服地

占了兩個(gè)座位，翻開一本封面印著約翰·列儂的書，

一邊讀一邊保持著想要與人分享的微笑。

她是混血兒，可能有阿拉伯血統(tǒng)，她黑發(fā)蓬松

隨意地散開，額頭高高。她從

夾克胸前的口袋里拿出一支香煙，但不知為何

又放了回去。她的膚色均勻而有光澤。

這時(shí)，她站起身來，手握一根

锃亮的金屬桿，仿佛在拉大提琴。她又坐了下來，

嘴里默念著“昨天，愛情是一場

如此輕松的游戲”。根須在神秘莫測的

美國蔓延開來。接著，舞臺(tái)被一件黑色方格外套

籠罩，沒有任何選擇，在兩條褲腿之間，一個(gè)黑色公文包

穩(wěn)穩(wěn)地立在地鐵車廂的鐵地板上，

在它的提手之間，一把黑色的雨傘溫順地

靠在那里。

   

A Black Umbrella

She must be between 25and 30 For now every choice

mixes freedom with mudThat’s why she’s nervous

She takes off herleather jacket and her tanktop shows

strong breasts and onher naked athletic arms

tattooed flowers Shegrabs pills from a pocket

of her jeans andtosses them into her mouth

She notices the puddleon the next seat hesitates

for a moment thendries it with her black scarf

and throws the scarfon her bag under the seat She sits

comfortably on twoseats opens a book with John Lennon

on its cover and whilereading keeps the smile that she

tries to share Mixedrace she could be Arab her black hair

teased free a highforehead She takes from

her jacket’s breastpocket a cigarette but doesn’t know why

and replaces it Anevenly matte complexion

Meanwhile she standsup wraps her fingers around

a shining metal bar toplay cello She sits down again

and with her mouthshapes the words Yesterday love was

such an easy game to play Roots spreadthrough uncanny

America Then the stage is darkened by a black squarecoat

without choices between two trouser legs a blackbriefcase

takes root on the iron floor of the subway car between

its handles a passive black umbrella rests

without any resistance

一位不知名的藝術(shù)家

一位不知名的藝術(shù)家，其簽名

在林蔭大道的街角處——不一定

非得在巴黎——要是放大來看，

或許能讀出是“C.卡莫”。

他描繪了六個(gè)走過的人，他們經(jīng)過

咖啡館或商店櫥窗上奢華的條紋遮陽篷，

天曉得為什么，

畫成了四個(gè)細(xì)腿的年輕女子。

她們的腿宛如嬌艷的花朵，

均勻地“種”在早春

或早秋的靴子里。即便在

華盛頓堡大街最密集的那排屋子，

太陽也找到了一道縫隙，悄悄窺探，

想要尋到那些年輕女子的腿，

在她們腿上“彈奏鋼琴”。也許其中一位

是喬安娜，她從未去過

歐洲，也永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)有機(jī)會(huì)

到那兒旅行。這把鑰匙不聽話，

只要地球母親的腦海中

還敲打著這樣的執(zhí)念：

如何找到一份工作來養(yǎng)活

她的美國孩子們，

這兩條腿就無法挪動(dòng)去跳舞。

An Unknown Artist

                                   

An unknown artistwhose signature

on the boulevardcorner that need not

necessarily be inParis if magnified

might perhaps read CCamot

has made of sixpersons who walk past

lavishly stripedawnings over café

or shop windows whoknows why

four slender-leggedyoung women

whose legs are likenice flowers

evenly planted inboots of an early spring

or an early autumn TheSun that even in the

dense row houses onFort Washington Street

has discovered a slitpeeps in

to find the legs ofthe young women

plays piano on themMaybe one of them

is Joanna who hasnever been

to Europe and willnever get the chance

to travel there Thiskey disobeys

these two legs cannotbe uprooted

for a dance as long asthere drums

in the earth mother’shead

this obsession:

how to find a job tokeep

her American childrenfed

在亡者的領(lǐng)地里，我總能交到朋友

說實(shí)話——我真不明白，你說過

你的兒子在美國成了一位著名科學(xué)家，

但現(xiàn)在看來，

在他離家的那些年里，他什么都沒做，

只是在紐約地鐵里抓老鼠，

抓來給實(shí)驗(yàn)室的貓吃。而在笛卡爾看來，

貓是沒有靈魂的。

至于我，我給詹姆斯·梅里爾寫了一封信，

感謝他的《實(shí)驗(yàn)詩》，

我在紐約翻譯這首詩的時(shí)候，

細(xì)雨從黎明一直下到黃昏。

（就連雨也是有靈魂的。）

在亡者的領(lǐng)地里，

我總能交到朋友。

I Will always Win Friends in the Land

of the Dead .

HONESTLY – I DON’T GETIT. YOUR SON

you said had become afamous scientist

in America, but now itappears

that in all thoseyears of absence he hasn’t

done anything exceptcatch rats

in the New Yorksubway, for lab cats

who in Descartes’opinion have no soul

As for me, I send aletter

to James Merrill withthanks for “Laboratory

Poem” which Itranslated in New York,

in drizzle that fellfrom dawn to dusk.

(Even rain has asoul.) In the land

of the dead I willalways win friends.

無盡的吻

你總是會(huì)落下一些東西。

發(fā)現(xiàn)時(shí)，

卻為時(shí)已晚！

仿佛你在匆匆忙忙地

趕一趟通往永生的航班。

仿佛你曾留下了

一個(gè)永不停息的吻——

嘴唇貼著嘴唇！

A Never Ending Kiss

ALWAYS YOU LEAVE

something behind.

It’s always late!

As if you hurried

to a flight bound for eternal life.

As if you had

left behind

a kiss that never ends –

lips to lips!
