Lamp of Love
[印度]羅賓德拉納德·泰戈爾
Rabindranath Tagore
燈火，燈火在哪兒？
用熊熊燃燒的生命之火點燃它吧！
這兒有燈，
但沒有一絲火焰這就是你的命運，我的心啊！
你還不如死了的好！
悲痛在叩你的門，
她帶來口信，
說你的主醒著呢，
他召喚你穿越漫漫黑夜，奔赴愛的約會。
烏雲漫天，雨下不停。
我不知道心裏激**著什麽
我不懂它意味著什麽。
電光一閃，我進入黑暗的深淵。
我的心摸索著前行，前往那夜之音召喚我的地方。
燈火，燈火在哪裏呢？
用熊熊的生命之火點燃它吧！
雷聲在響，狂風在嘯。
夜像黑岩一般黑。
不要讓時光在黑暗中逝去。
用你的生命點燃愛之燈。
Light， oh， where is the light？
Kindle it with the burning fire of desire！
There is the lamp but never a flicker of a flame，
is such thy fate， my heart！
Ah， death were better by far for thee！
Misery knocks at thy door，
And her message is that thy lord is wakeful，
And he calls thee to the love-tryst through the darkness of night.
The sky is overcast with clouds and the rain is ceaseless.
I know not what this is that stirs in me，
I know not its meaning.
A moment as flash of lightning drags
Down a deeper gloom on my sight，
And my heart gropes for the path to where
The music of the night calls me.
Light， oh， where is the light？
Kindle it with the burning fire of desire！
It thunders and the wind rushes screaming through the void.
The night is black as a black stone.
Let not the hours pass by in the dark.
Kindle the lamp of love with thy life.
