泰戈爾[1]

離別的痛苦蔓延在整個世間，

在無盡的天空中產生了無窮的形象。

整夜默望著天空繁星的

正是這離殤

在七月的陰雨中化作情詩，

在蕭蕭枝葉間飄蕩。

正是這彌漫的傷痛

深化成愛和欲望，

升華為人間的痛苦與歡暢；

也正是它，在我詩人的心中

融化成曲 倏然流淌。

Sorrow of Separation

Rabindranath Tagore

It is the pang of separation that spreads throughout

The world and gives birth to shapes innumerable in the infinite

sky.

It is this sorrow of separation that gazes

In silence all nights from star to star

And becomes lyric among rustling leaves

In rainy darkness of July.

It is this overspreading pain that

Deepens into loves and desires,

Into sufferings and joy in human homes;

And this it is that ever melts and

Flows in songs through my poet's heart.
