【Song (Canción)】

Frederico García Lorca (1898-1936)

            The girl with the lovely face,

            Goes, gathering olives.

            The wind, that towering lover,

            Takes her by the waist.

            Four riders go by 

            On Andalusian ponies,

            In azure and emerald suits,

            On long cloaks of shadow.

            ‘Come to Cordoba, sweetheart!’

            The girl does not listen.

            Three young bullfighters go by,

            Slim-waisted in suits of orange,

            With swords of antique silver.

            'Come to Sevilla, sweetheart!'

            The girl does not listen.

            When the twilight purples,

            With the daylight's dying,

            A young man goes by, holding

            Roses, and myrtle of moonlight.

            'Come to Granada, my sweetheart!'

            But the girl does not listen.

            The girl, with the lovely face,

            Goes on gathering olives,

            While the wind's grey arms

            Go circling her waist.

【《歌》】

(西班牙)費德里科·加西亞·洛爾卡“和平統帥·矛·光明之神”

(1898生—1936卒)

【紅霞譯】

            長着可愛臉蛋的姑娘

            採摘橄欖。

            風，那高大的情人，

            依偎她的腰間。

            四名騎手經過，駕着

            純種西班牙小馬，

            身襲湛藍碧綠穿搭，

            外罩魔影長披風。

            “來科爾多瓦‘好鎮’吧，親愛的！”

            姑娘看都不看一眼。

            三位年輕鬥牛士經過，

            穿着束腰橘黃色套裝，

            佩掛古銀寶劍。

            “來塞維利亞‘山谷城’吧，親愛的！”

            姑娘看都不看一眼。

            當黃昏變紫，

            白晝隨之流逝，

            有個小伙子經過，手捧

            玫瑰，兼有月光紫薇。

            “來格拉納達‘石榴城’吧，我親愛的！”

            可姑娘看都不看一眼。

            長着可愛臉蛋的姑娘

            只管採摘橄欖，

            風的蒼白臂膀

            環抱她的腰間。

【注】孔波斯特拉的聖地亞哥“星野的後繼使徒”城，是基督教中僅次於耶路撒冷“和平之城”和羅馬“力量之城”的第三聖地。傳說耶穌基督被釘十字架後不久，聖雅各“後繼者”來到西班牙傳播福音。他走遍伊比利亞“西班牙—葡萄牙”半島的城鎮鄉村，用腳步丈量這片土地，用言語播撒信仰的種子。後來，他回到耶路撒冷，卻在那裡被希律·亞基帕“英雄·野馬”一世斬首，成為十二使徒中第一位殉道者。

聖雅各的兩名弟子冒死將他的屍體帶回加利西亞“山丘”(Galicia)——這片位於西班牙西北角的土地，當時被視為地球的盡頭。他們將聖人的遺骸安葬在荒野之中，任其沉睡，任歲月流逝。

直到9世紀初，一位名叫佩拉傑“大海”(Pelagius)的隱士在星辰聖光的指引下，來到這片地球盡頭的林地。星光如瀑布般傾瀉而下，照亮了那片被遺忘750年的墓地。隱士在星光的指引下，重新發現了深受耶穌基督愛戴的聖雅各遺骸。消息傳開，信徒們從四面八方湧來。在原址上，他們修建了一座小教堂，聖地亞哥城就這樣迅速崛起，成為基督教最重要的朝拜聖地之一。

然而，聖地亞哥的命運並非一帆風順。10世紀末，穆斯林“順從者”軍隊橫掃伊比利亞半島，聖地亞哥城慘遭摧毀。教堂被焚，聖骸被藏，信徒四散。隨後，西班牙基督徒用了整整一個世紀的時間，才將這座城市從廢墟中重新建起。聖地亞哥因而又被視為西班牙基督徒反對伊斯蘭教的象徵——它不僅是信仰的中心，更是抗爭的紀念碑。

如今的聖地亞哥老城，兼有羅馬式的莊重、哥特式的輕盈和巴洛克式的華麗。那些石頭的建築，層層疊疊，在歲月的洗禮下泛着溫潤的光澤。教堂的尖頂刺破天際，修道院的迴廊幽深靜謐，廣場上的石板路被無數朝聖者的腳步磨得光滑如鏡。這裡被譽為人是世上最美的街區之一，1985年被聯合國教科文組織納入《世界遺產名錄》。

走在聖地亞哥的老街上，我仿佛能聽見歷史的回聲：羅馬人的足音、摩爾“阿拉伯”人的馬蹄、朝聖者的祈禱。而頭頂的星辰，依然在夜空中閃爍，像一千年前那樣，指引着迷途的人，找到回家的路。
