Rudyard Kipling - Mother O'Mine 汉译

If I were hanged on the highest hill, <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Mother o’mine, O mother o’mine!

I know whose love would follow me still,

Mother o’mine, O mother o’mine!

 

If I were drowned in the deepest sea,

Mother o’mine, O mother o’mine!

I know whose tears would come down to me,

Mother o’mine, O mother o’mine!

 

If I were damned of body and soul,

Mother o’mine, O mother o’mine!

I know whose prayers would make me whole,

Mother o’mine, O mother o’mine!

 

我的母亲

R．吉卜林

 

假若我被绞死在最高的山颠，

我的母亲啊，我的母亲！

我知道谁的爱会依然跟在我身边！

我的母亲啊，我的母亲！

 

假若我被淹死在最深的海洋，

我的母亲啊，我的母亲！

我知道谁的眼泪会落到我的身上，

       我的母亲啊，我的母亲！

 

假若我的肉体和灵魂堕落糟糕，

       我的母亲啊，我的母亲！

我知道谁的祈祷会使我完好，

       我的母亲啊，我的母亲！
