【Song of the Western Countries】

Jan Arends (1925—1974)

                I 

                write poems

                like thin trees.

                Who

                can speak so

                meagrely

                with language

                as I do?

                Maybe

                my father

                was stingy

                with his seed.

                I have

                never

                known him

                that man.

                I have

                never

                heard a real word

                that didn’t cause pain.

                To write

                about pain

                you only

                need

                a few words.

【《我写诗歌》】

恩慈•阿伦茨(1925生—1974卒)

                我

                写诗歌

                有如瘦树

                有谁

                说话

                能像我

                一样

                简扼？

                也许

                父亲

                曾吝啬

                种子。

                我不曾

                和他

                那人

                相识。

                我从未

                听过

                任何实话

                不使人痛苦。

                描写

                痛苦

                你

                只需

                寥寥数语。
