贝尔格莱德别情

--赠波芭

古堡斜阳，偶然一杯酒
为了告别，也为了刚刚相见

偶然一杯酒，也许再无缘重逢
却相问相约：甚么时候再见？

我就要回到山那边，海那边
我就要回到那一个天边

我是一片叶，偶然一阵风
把我吹过你的面前

偶然一阵风，萨瓦河水
一片皱纹散开，一朵浪花飞溅

人间有多少偶然，又不都是偶然
我不信命运，却相信有机缘

你唱一支欢歌却含着悲戚
你唱一支悲歌却带着喜欢

也许世界是狭小的吧
明晨我已在地球那边

FAREWELL IN BELGRADE

——To Vaska Popa

Sunset by the ancient castle, by chance a cup of wine
For farewell, for us just meeting each other.

Just a cup of wine, perhaps we shall never see each other;
But we pledge each other: When shall we meet again?

I shall be going to the other side of the mountains
and seas;
I shall be going to the other horizon.

I am just a leaf blown over to your side
By a sudden gust of wind.

Just a sudden gust of wind; a ripples spread
Over the River Save, a plash of waves.

Many chances in human life, but not all accidental;
I do not believe in Fate, but I believe in chance.

You sang a song of joy, but tinged with sadness;
You sang a song of sorrow but tinged with joy.

Perhaps the world is small;
Tomorrow I shall be on the other side of the globe.

1981 May-June
