拜伦经典诗歌:在巴比伦的河边我们坐下来哭泣By the Rivers of Babylon We Sat Down and Wept (1815) 在巴比伦的河边我们坐下来哭泣 by Lord Byron (1788-1824) 1 We sat down and wept by the waters Of Babel, and thought of the day When our foe, in the hue of his slaughters, Made Salem's high places his prey; And ye, oh her desolate daughters! Were scattered all weeping away.
2 While sadly we gazed on the river Which rolled on in freedom below, They demanded the song; but, oh never That triumph the stranger shall know! May this right hand be withered for ever, Ere it string our high harp for the foe!
3 On the willow that harp is suspended, Oh Salem! its sound should be free; And the hour when thy glories were ended But left me that token of thee: And ne'er shall its soft tones be blended With the voice of the spoiler by me!
在巴比伦的河边我们坐下来哭泣 一 在巴比伦的河边我们坐下来 悲痛地哭泣,我们想到那一天 我们的敌人如何在屠杀叫喊中, 焚毁了撒冷的高耸的神殿: 而你们,呵,她凄凉的女儿! 你们都号哭着四散逃散。 二 当我们忧郁地坐在河边 看着脚下的河水自由地奔流, 他们命令我们歌唱;呵,绝不! 我们绝不在这事情上低头! 宁可让这只右手永远枯瘦, 但我们的圣琴绝不为异族弹奏! 三 我把那竖琴悬挂在柳梢头, 噢,撒冷!它的歌声该是自由的; 想到你的光荣丧尽的那一刻, 却把你的这遗物留在我这里: 呵,我绝不使它优美的音调 和暴虐者的声音混在一起! 查良铮 译 网友评论企业服务 |
