Selected Poems of JÜRI TALVET （Set Three）

Compiledand translated by Yang Zongze

蜿蜒曲折的葡萄牙语单词

葡萄牙语词汇蜿蜒曲折，

潜入那些隧道之中，

那里空气仿佛即将耗尽，黑暗的

墙壁将它们挤压在一起。但是

随后，突然从里斯本的七座山丘间

蹿出一辆小小的黄色有轨电车，兴高采烈，

却又带着一百种凝重的神情，

从车窗向外凝视着（此刻，我那

年迈瘦小的母亲在家里，在她的床罩下

翻了个身。黑夜啊，你为何不帮我合上双眼？）

“法多（Fado）”意味着命运：字母“O”变成了

一个低头丧气的“U”。

但这里并没有无尽的黑暗——

相反，从隆冬里

传来西贝柳斯忧伤的圆舞曲。

并非所有的悲伤都以“法多”作结，

“全部”并不能穷尽“总体”的含义。

在第五帝国之前，

还有第六帝国。费尔南多·佩索阿

就是那个时代的诗人，只是那时他的名字

叫若昂·阿雷亚，或者用我们的

方言来说，叫尤汉·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 João Areia or inour

dialect Juhan Liiv

一把黑色雨伞

她大概二十五到三十岁之间。就外表来看，她的每一个动作

都把自由和泥泞混在了一起。这就是她紧张的原因。

她脱下皮夹克，背心下显露出

丰满的胸部，在她裸露而健美的手臂上

有纹身的花朵。她从牛仔裤口袋里

掏出药片，扔进嘴里。

她注意到旁边座位上有水渍，犹豫了

片刻，她用黑色围巾把它擦干，

接着把围巾扔到座位下面她的包上。她舒舒服服地

占了两个座位，翻开一本封面印着约翰·列侬的书，

一边读一边保持着想要与人分享的微笑。

她是混血儿，可能有阿拉伯血统，她黑发蓬松

随意地散开，额头高高。她从

夹克胸前的口袋里拿出一支香烟，但不知为何

又放了回去。她的肤色均匀而有光泽。

这时，她站起身来，手握一根

锃亮的金属杆，仿佛在拉大提琴。她又坐了下来，

嘴里默念着“昨天，爱情是一场

如此轻松的游戏”。根须在神秘莫测的

美国蔓延开来。接着，舞台被一件黑色方格外套

笼罩，没有任何选择，在两条裤腿之间，一个黑色公文包

稳稳地立在地铁车厢的铁地板上，

在它的提手之间，一把黑色的雨伞温顺地

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

一位不知名的艺术家

一位不知名的艺术家，其签名

在林荫大道的街角处——不一定

非得在巴黎——要是放大来看，

或许能读出是“C.卡莫”。

他描绘了六个走过的人，他们经过

咖啡馆或商店橱窗上奢华的条纹遮阳篷，

天晓得为什么，

画成了四个细腿的年轻女子。

她们的腿宛如娇艳的花朵，

均匀地“种”在早春

或早秋的靴子里。即便在

华盛顿堡大街最密集的那排屋子，

太阳也找到了一道缝隙，悄悄窥探，

想要寻到那些年轻女子的腿，

在她们腿上“弹奏钢琴”。也许其中一位

是乔安娜，她从未去过

欧洲，也永远不会有机会

到那儿旅行。这把钥匙不听话，

只要地球母亲的脑海中

还敲打着这样的执念：

如何找到一份工作来养活

她的美国孩子们，

这两条腿就无法挪动去跳舞。

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

在亡者的领地里，我总能交到朋友

说实话——我真不明白，你说过

你的儿子在美国成了一位著名科学家，

但现在看来，

在他离家的那些年里，他什么都没做，

只是在纽约地铁里抓老鼠，

抓来给实验室的猫吃。而在笛卡尔看来，

猫是没有灵魂的。

至于我，我给詹姆斯·梅里尔写了一封信，

感谢他的《实验诗》，

我在纽约翻译这首诗的时候，

细雨从黎明一直下到黄昏。

（就连雨也是有灵魂的。）

在亡者的领地里，

我总能交到朋友。

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.

无尽的吻

你总是会落下一些东西。

发现时，

却为时已晚！

仿佛你在匆匆忙忙地

赶一趟通往永生的航班。

仿佛你曾留下了

一个永不停息的吻——

嘴唇贴着嘴唇！

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!
