Selected Poems of JÜRI TALVET （Set Four）


Compiled and translated by Yang Zongze



善良的女房东


我们还会见到你的，约翰娜，
这位年长的女房东，如此和蔼，
你照料和喂养过劳拉
玛尔塔-利萨，甚至还有我——
用粗面粉做的慕斯和牛奶。后来
有一只狗加入了我们的生活，我记不起
它的名字了，但它死去的时候我就在旁边
（它浑身抽搐着，
而我忍不住哭了出来！）
当它就是波比吧，它曾
帮着爷爷和我找到了
走出树林的路，
那时我们在穆伊萨库拉丢了奶牛，
自己也迷了路。
它到底是不是那只狗？


在房东老妇赞许的目光下，
我把盛着粗面粉做的慕斯的盘子
放在地板上，让波比吃，我的心
因波比和约翰娜的欢喜而雀跃，
那一刻，我们都那般开心，
似乎活在梦里。


* 慕斯：一种甜味点心。
* 波比：宠物的名字。——译者注。






Kind Housemistress, Johanna


I’LL MEET YOU AGAIN, JOHANNA,
old housemistress, kindly
you feed Laura
and Marta-Liisa and even me –


with semolina mousse and milk. Then
we are joined by a dog, cannot recall
its name, but I was there when it died
(how it flinched


and I couldn’t help crying!).
Let it be the same Bobi, who
helped grandpa and me find
the way out of the woods


when we had lost our cow at Mõisaküla
and had got lost ourselves as well.
Whether what it is is what it is
or is not, who cares?


Under the approving glance
of the old lady
I place a plate with semolina mousse
for Bobi on the floor, my heart


rejoicing because of Bobi’s
and Johanna’s glee and for
us being just what we are
in the lifedream at that moment.






麦德林之晨


没法子，在麦德林
我在凌晨4点就醒来了，而在爱沙尼亚，
此时是正午。夜空中，
善良的星星仍在眨着眼睛。
我还有足够的时间，从梦的窗口
将我的儿子揽入怀中，
尽管他现在已经是成年人了，
我要对他说：你一点都不重，
你还是那个小男孩，穿着绿色的
短款冬衣，戴着蓝色的贝雷帽，
我从幼儿园把你
带回家——朝着太阳的方向。








The Early Morning of Medellin


I CAN’T HELP IT, THAT IN MEDELLÍN
I wake up at 4 a.m. In Estonia
it’s midday. Still from the mountain wall
kindly stars blink their eyes. Still
I have time enough to take from
the dream window into my arms my son
though he is a grown man now,
and tell him: you’re not heavy at all.
You’re that little boy, in your green
short winter coat and blue beret,  
I carried home in my lap
from kindergarten – toward the sun.












对话


你在做什么，女儿？ ——我只是我。


（很久以后）
你现在在做什么？ ——我依然是我。
我们要做什么？
——哦，爸爸，我们都只是存在。








Conversation


What are you doing, daughter?
- I simply am.


(Long, long time later)


What are you doing now?
- I still am.


What are we going to do?
—— Oh, father, let us simply be.





命运


谁不想知道自己的命运？
然而，占卜——无论星座，算命先生，
DNA还是咖啡渣的痕迹
都显示出同样的门。
那扇门在你还没有敲响的情况下
就打开了。那么呢？此刻确实很重要。
你今天早上有没有注意到——
在一家小酒店狭窄的走廊里，
一个三岁的男孩好奇地四处张望，
正在熟悉仅仅几天或一夜的家，
他一只手抓着妈妈的外套，
另一只手抓着爸爸的裤子？





DESTINY


WHO WOULDN’T WANT TO KNOW HIS DESTINY?
Yet oracles – the horoscope,
a fortuneteller, DNA, and the signs
of coffee grounds – show the same door
that opens without your knocking
and waiting. What then? This moment
is indeed important. Did you notice
a three-year-old boy this morning
in the narrow corridor of a modest hotel,
looking around in curiosity, getting acquainted
with home for a couple of days, for a night,
one hand clinging to his mother’s coat,
the other to his father’s trousers?







罗马的城门


无论你的生活如何艰难，
请继续前往罗马的旅程；
一切将会如何，
将以何种形式或面貌呈现，
你将在上帝为你守候的城门前得知。








The Gates of Rome


HOWEVER INEVITABLY YOUR LIFE MAY WORM,
continue on your journey to Rome;
how all will be, just what shape or shade
it will take, you’ll learn at the gates
where just for you God waits.
