I Like for You to Be Still
[智利]巴勃羅·聶魯達
Pablo Neruda
我喜歡你沉靜，仿佛你並不存在，
你從遠方聆聽，而我的聲音卻無法觸及你。
仿佛你的眼神已經飛離，
仿佛一個吻緘閉了你的雙唇。
猶如萬物充斥了我的靈魂，
你從萬物中升起，來把我的靈魂填補。
你好似我的靈魂，一隻夢的蝴蝶，
又好似憂鬱這個詞語。
我喜歡你沉靜，仿佛你已遠離。
聽起來你似在悲歎，一隻如鴿子哀鳴的蝴蝶。
你從遠方聆聽，而我的聲音卻無法觸及你。
讓我在你的沉靜中默然無聲。
讓我用你的沉默與你交談，
你的沉默明耀如燈，簡潔如環。
你好似夜晚，伴著它的靜寂與繁星。
你的沉默是月亮的沉默，遙遠而明亮。
我喜歡你沉靜，仿佛你並不存在，
遙遠而傷感，仿佛你已死去。
那時，一句話或一個微笑便已足夠。
我將會幸福，因那種虛幻而幸福。
I like for you to be still：it is as though you were absent，
And you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you.
It seems as though your eyes had flown away
And it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth.
As all things are filled with my soul
You emerge from the things， filled with my soul.
You are like my soul， a butterfly of dream，
And you are like the word Melancholy.
I like for you to be still， and you seem far away.
It sounds as though you were lamenting， a butterfly cooing like a dove.
And you hear me from far away， and my voice does not reach you：
Let me come to be still in your silence.
And let me talk to you with your silence
That is bright as a lamp， simple as a ring.
You are like the night， with its stillness and constellations.
Your silence is that of a star， as remote and candid.
