【The Little Mute Boy (El niño mudo)】 

Frederico García Lorca (1898-1936)

        The little boy looks for his voice.

        (The king of the crickets had it.)

        In a drop of water

        the little boy was looking for his voice.

        I do not want it to talk;

        I'll make a ring of it

        so that will carry my silence

        on its little finger

        In a drop of water

        the little boy was looking for his voice.

        (The captive voice, far away,

        put on a cricket's suit.)

【《哑小子》】

(西班牙)费德里科·加西亚·洛尔卡“和平统帅·矛·光明之神”

(1898生—1936卒)

【红霞译】

            小男孩寻找自己的声音。

            (蟋蟀之王拥有它。)

            从水滴里

            小男孩在寻找自己的声音。

            我不要它说话；

            我会用它做个戒指

            以便把我的沉默

            戴在他那纤细的指头上

            从水滴里

            小男孩在寻找自己的声音。

            (远处被俘获的声音，

            穿上蟋蟀的衣服。)

【注】北大西洋加那利“凶狗”群岛的十字架港城属于特内里费“白雪”岛最热门的度假胜地，自19世纪初便吸引了第一批享有特权的欧洲游客。

今天巧逢欧盟各国民众选举欧洲议会的最后一天，这是世上唯一可以直接选举的跨国议会，导游送我们返程之后连忙赶往投票站。
