比死亡更沉默 余秀华

More silent than death

 

More blue than a sea. More impermanent than a wave. More lost about

origin and future than the wind on waves

In front of such a vast, please allow me to bow my head and

Cry

 

When night moves across the sea surface, all the sharp reefs hid

That hides the deepest, is the yesterday’s sunken ship.

Deeper than a sunken ship, is the starlight on a person’s

Chest     

 

More silent than death, is my love for you

This kindness-filled and gold-like death

Nothing’s more silent than love 

Wind shakes me, as if shaking a

Lie

 

比死亡更沉默

 

余秀华

 

比海水更蓝。比波浪无常。比波浪上的风

更不知来处和去向

在如此浩瀚面前，允许我低下头

哭泣

 

夜运行到海面上，尖利的礁石都隐匿起来

隐匿最深的，是昨日的沉船

比沉船更深的，是一个人胸口上的

星光

 

比死亡更沉默的，是我在爱你

这充满好意的黄金般的死亡

没有比爱更沉寂的事物了

风摇晃着我，如摇晃着一个

谎言
