我看到你把那風箏拋向高空,
又把那鳥兒刮進蒼穹;
到處都聽得出你在行進,
似少女的拖裙掠過草叢---
啊,風, 你整天整天地吹動,
啊,風,那鳴響就是你高亢的歌聲!
我看到你做過各種各樣的事情,
卻常常隱蔽掉你的行蹤。
我根本看不到你的身影,
可感觸到你的推動,聽得見你的呼聲---
啊,風, 你整天整天地吹動,
啊,風,那鳴響就是你高亢的歌聲!
喔,你是那樣地凜冽寒冷,
究竟你年老還是年輕?
你是原野和樹中的精靈,
或只不過是比我強壯點的孩童?
啊,風, 你整天整天地吹動,
啊,風,那鳴響就是你高亢的歌聲!
The Wind
I saw you toss the kites on high,
And blow the bird about the sky;
And all around I heard you pass,
Like ladies’ skirts across the grass---
O wind, a - blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!
I saw the different things you did,
But always you yourself you hid.
I felt you push, I heard you call,
I could not see yourself at all---
O wind, a - blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!
O you that are so strong and cold,
O blower, are you young or old?
Are you a beast of field and tree,
Or just a stronger child than me?
O wind, a - blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!
----By Robert Louis Stevenson
