永恒的詩篇 Yesterday No More

水城之恋

_____________________________________________________________


是梦境
是童话世界
还是世外桃园?
是水泊
是珊瑚岛
还是海市蜃楼?
碧波粼粼
我仿佛看见
娇媚的仙女
沐浴在
神秘的彩霞里

大运河上
仿佛
时光不曾流逝；
马可广场之夜
烛焰
闪烁著远古文明的余辉

啊，你
义大利的明珠
不朽的城池
我愿意
化作一叶水上轻骑
穿过廊桥
沿著纵错的水道
追踪
你那辉煌的岁月
璀璨的历史

我要
再尝一口
亚得里亚海清凉的水
让我的心底
永远留著
美丽的名字──
旖旎的水城
威尼斯！


My Love, Venice

By Cao Yuan

Is this a dream
a fairy tale
a haven of peace?
Or is this a lake
a coral island
a mirage?
Somewhere among the clear ripples
I can see, as if
a fairy beauty
bathing, amidst the mists.

Centuries are gone
Yet Grand Canal
has seen, little changes.
As if, here
time never elapses.
And when darkness falls
the candles in St Marco’s Square
continue to flicker
a streak of, its yesteryears.

Oh, my lovely, Water Beauty
Pearl of Italy
A timeless City.
I wish I were a canoe
that cuts through water beneath the bridge
and sails through the channels
So that, I can trace
A glorious past journey
And a remarkable history.

I want to also
Taste the cool and fresh water
of the Adriatic Sea
So that I will forever
Hold deep in my heart
this charming water city ━
Venice.
