【Flowers Remain】

Milan Rúfus (1928—2009)

         A bouquet of flowers

         and three sad birds.

         What are these, darling?

         Songs or ballads?

         And children crying seldom ask

         how destiny takes us to task.

       Yet a loving power above that keeps a close watch

         and always will its guardianship sustain.

         Tears that spring out are quickly staunched.

         Birds fly away.

         Flowers remain.

【《花儿还在》】

善良•卢夫斯(1928生—2009卒)

             一束鲜花

             三只哀鸟。

             亲爱的，这算什么？

             一首歌，还是一首民谣？

             就连哭泣着的孩子有时都会问

             命运为什么要我们干苦差事。

             然而，一种上苍爱的力量密切关注着，

             爱的保护将会得到持续。

             涌出的泪水迅速被止住。

             鸟儿飞了。

             花儿还在。
