Walt Whitman - Turn O Libertad 汉译

Turn O Libertad, for the war is over,

From it and all henceforth expanding, doubting no more, resolute, sweeping the world,

Turn from lands retrospective recording proofs of the past,

From the singers that sing the trailing glories of the past,

From the chants of the feudal world, the triumphs of kings, slavery, caste,

Turn to the world, the triumphs reserv’d and to come--give up that backward world,

Leave to the singers of hitherto, give them the trailing past,

But what remains remains for singers for you--wars to come are for you,

(Lo, how the wars of the past have duly inured to you, and the wars of the present also inure;)

Then turn, and be not alarm’d O Libertad--turn your undying face,

To where the future, greater than all the past,

Is swiftly, surely preparing for you.

转过脸来吧，啊，自由！

转过脸来吧，啊，自由，战争已经结束，

从此将是向前发展，不再忧疑，要坚决，横扫整个世界，

离开那些追溯并记载既往的国家，

离开那些歌颂过去光荣事迹的歌手，

离开那些封建世界的颂歌，君主的成就，奴隶制，等级制，

转向世界，转向那已经储备下的未来的胜利——抛弃那落后的世界，

把它奉让给那些迄今为止的歌手，送给他们那些源源不绝的过去，

而余下来的是留给歌手们和你的——未来的战争是你留下的，

（看哪，你已经习惯了过去的战争，也会习惯当前的战争；）

那就请转过脸来吧，不要惊慌，啊，自由——转过你那不死的脸来吧，

面向未来，它比一切过去更加伟大，
