《复活》 by卡米恩斯卡

复活   林木译

——安娜·卡米恩斯卡

 

真的吗？我们死后总有一天

会被号角可怖的喧闹唤醒？

原谅我上帝，我宁愿相信

我们这些死者的复活

只会由一声公鸡的啼鸣宣告。

 

然后我们还会静静地躺一会儿……

第一个起身的

是母亲……我们会听见她

轻手轻脚地生火，

把水壶放上炉子

从橱柜里取出那只旧茶壶。

我们又回到家了。

 

Resurrection  by Vladimir Holan

 

Is it true that after this life of ours we shall one day be awakened

by a terrifying clamour of trumpets?

Forgive me God, but I console myself

that the beginning and resurrection of all of us dead

will simply be announced by the crowing of the cock.

 

After that we'll remain lying down a while...

The first to get up

will be Mother...We'll hear her

quietly laying the fire,

quietly putting the kettle on the stove

and cosily taking the teapot out of the cupboard.

We'll be home once more.
