吉檀迦利(新译) – 2 歌者

君令我歌兮骄心欲碎

仰望神仪兮双眼含泪

呕哑嘲嘶兮溶为和声

慕心展翼兮鹏飞大海

君嘉我歌兮我歌益善

伏惟君前兮方为歌者

我歌如翼兮远及天边

效君步履兮永不僭越

歌令人醉兮乐易忘我

呼君为友兮不识主宰

泰戈尔原诗 （《Gitanjali》by the Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, ISBN-13: 978-0-684-83934-9）

When thou commandest me to sing it seems that my heart would break with pride; and I look to thy face, and tears come to my eyes.

All that is harsh and dissonant in my life melts into one sweet harmony---and my adoration spreads wings like a glad bird on its flight across the sea.

I know thou takest pleasure in my singing. I know that only as a singer I come before thy presence.

I touch by the edge of the far-spreading wing of my song thy feet which I could never aspire to reach.

Drunk with the joy of singing I forget myself and call thee friend who art my lord.
