Robert Burns - The Slave’s Lament 汉译

It was in sweet Senegal that my foes did me enthral,

For the lands of Virginia,-ginia, O:

Torn from that lovely shore, and must never see it more;

And alas! I am weary, weary O:

Torn from that lovely shore, and must never see it more;

And alas! I am weary, weary O.

 

All on that charming coast is no bitter snow and frost,

Like the lands of Virginia,-ginia, O:

There streams for ever flow, and there flowers for ever blow,

And alas! I am weary, weary O:

There streams for ever flow, and there flowers for ever blow,

And alas! I am weary, weary O:

 

The burden I must bear, while the cruel scourge I fear,

In the lands of Virginia,-ginia, O;

And I think on friends most dear, with the bitter, bitter tear,

And alas! I am weary, weary O:

And I think on friends most dear, with the bitter, bitter tear,

And alas! I am weary, weary O:

 

奴隶怨

 

在甜蜜的塞内加尔人们把我来抓，

  送到了弗吉尼亚，弗吉尼亚，哦；

硬把我从那美丽的海岸拉走，从此看不见它，

  而我是，唉，疲倦了，疲倦了，哦！

硬把我从那美丽的海岸拉走，从此看不见它，

  而我是，唉，疲倦了，疲倦了，哦！

 

那幽静的海岸上没有寒霜和冰雪，

  不像弗吉尼亚，弗吉尼亚，哦，

那里水长流，那里花不谢，

  而我是，唉，疲倦了，疲倦了，哦！

那里水长流，那里花不谢，

  而我是，唉，疲倦了，疲倦了，哦！

 

我被赶着背上大包，又怕狠毒的鞭抽，

  身在弗吉尼亚，弗吉尼亚，哦！

想起了最亲的朋友们，我苦泪滴滴流，

  而我是，唉，疲倦了，疲倦了，哦！

想起了最亲的朋友们，我苦泪滴滴流，

  而我是，唉，疲倦了，疲倦了，哦！
