[蘇格蘭]羅伯特彭斯/Robert Burns
輕輕地流淌,甜美的亞頓河,在青碧的山坡之間,輕輕地流淌,我為你歌唱,把你頌揚;伴著你的流水潺潺,我的瑪莉安然入眠,輕輕地流淌,甜美的亞頓河,別把她的夢兒攪散。
野鴿啊,你的回音穿過山穀,烏鴉啊,你狂野的哨音在荊棘叢生的溪穀回**,綠冠的田鳧啊,你這尖聲啼叫的老祖,請不要驚擾我熟睡的姑娘。
多麽高峻啊,甜美的亞頓河,你周圍的山丘,你的曲線,那麽清晰、曲折而俊秀。
正午的驕陽高高掛起,那是我日常漫步的去處,目光追隨著我的羊群和瑪麗甜美的小屋。
你的堤岸與青翠的河穀是那麽令人心醉,林間的櫻草花正噴芳吐翠;當溫煦的黃昏為草哭泣,芬芳的白樺樹便將我與我的瑪麗蔭蔽。
瑩澈的水流,亞頓河啊,你悠悠流淌,溫婉可人,曲折蜿蜒,繞過瑪麗的房居,當她迎著清波,去采擷芳馥的花朵,你的流水如此頑皮,濯滌著她潔白的雙足。
輕輕地流淌,甜美的亞頓河,在青碧的山坡之間,輕輕地流淌,甜美的河流,我快樂的主題;伴著你的流水潺潺,我的瑪麗安然入眠,輕輕地流淌,甜美的亞頓河,別把她的夢兒攪散。
Flow gently,sweet Afton,among thy green braes,Flow gently,I’ll sing thee a song in thy praise;My Mary’s asleep by thy murmuring stream,Flow gently,sweet Afton,disturb not her dream.
Thou stock-dove whose echo resounds thro’the glen,Ye wild whistling blackbirds in yon thorny den,Thou green-crested lapwing,thy screaming forbear,I charge you,disturb not my slumbering fair.
How lofty,sweet Afton,thy neighbouring hills,Far mark’d with the courses of clear winding rills;There daily I wander as noon rises high,My flocks and my Mary’s sweet cot in my eye.
How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below,Where,wild in the woodlands,the primroses blow;There oft,as mild Evening weeps over the lea,The sweet-scented birch shades my Mary and me.
