李小雨·《夜》英译

岛在棕榈叶下闭着眼睛，

梦中，不安地抖动肩膀

于是，一个青椰子掉进海里，

静悄悄地，溅起

一片绿色的月光

十片绿色的月光，

一百片绿色的月光，

在这样的夜晚，

使所有的心荡漾，荡漾……

隐隐地，轻雷在天边滚过，

讲述着热带的地方

绿的故乡……

Night

Li Xiaoyu

 

Under the palms, an island shuts its eyes

In reverie and listlessly shrugs its shoulders

As one green coconut drops into the sea.

Stealthily it splashes up

One spread of greenish moonlight,

Ten spreads of greenish moonlight,

A hundred spreads of greenish moonlight,

On such a night,

How all the hearts go aflutter; fluttering…

Dimly, faint thunders graze over sky’s rim,

Telling tales about a tropical land,

A green, green homeland…

 

Lingshui County, Hainan Island, September 1979
