【Song: I】

Maurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949)

〖Nobel Prize in Literature 1911〗

             She has chained her within a grot,

             Upon the gate a sign put she;

             The maiden has the light forgot,

             The key has fall'n into the sea.

             She waited the days of summer,

             She waited more than seven years,

             Each year a passerby passed near.

             She waited the days of winter,

             And while she waited there, her hair

             Recalled the light forgot by her.

             It wrought and sought, crept on and on,

             A passage won through riven stone

             Until it shone the rock upon.

             One night, a passerby passes again,

             He does not comprehend the glow,

             And does not dare nearer to go.

             He thinks it is of strange import,

             He thinks it is a golden vein,

             He thinks it is an angel sport,

             He turns aside to pass again…

【《歌谣：一》】

(比利时)深皮肤·梅特林克(1862生—1949卒)

〖1911年获诺贝尔文学奖者〗

【红霞译】

                她把自己锁在洞穴里，

                在门上立个牌子；

                姑娘忘记点灯，

                钥匙掉进大海。

                她等待夏日，

                等了七年多，

                每年都有人由此离去。

                她等待冬季，

                此时此地，她的头发

                令她想起早已忘记的光明。

                它四处探寻，

                穿过碎石的通道

                直到让石子放出光明。

                晚上，又有路人经过，

                他疑惑光明，

                甚至不敢靠近。

                他觉得超乎寻常，

                若非金色矿脉，

                就是天使运动，

                他转身再度由此离去……
