bailuzz：诗歌试译：First Love （初恋）

First Love
by John Clare

I ne'er was struck before that hour
With love so sudden and so sweet.
Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower  
And stole my heart away complete.  
 
My face turned pale, a deadly pale.
My legs refused to walk away,
And when she looked what could I ail
My life and all seemed turned to clay.  
 
And then my blood rushed to my face  
And took my eyesight quite away.
The trees and bushes round the place  
Seemed midnight at noonday.
 
I could not see a single thing,
Words from my eyes did start.
They spoke as chords do from the string,
And blood burnt round my heart.  
 
Are flowers the winter's choice
Is love's bed always snow
She seemed to hear my silent voice  
Not love appeals to know.
 
I never saw so sweet a face
As that I stood before.
My heart has left its dwelling place
And can return no more.

初恋
By John Clare

我从未知道
爱情会如此突如其来如此甜蜜
她的娇颜似盛开的花儿
把我的心已全部摄去。

我的脸色惨白
双腿竟然无法挪开
她轻轻的一瞥
我的生命和万物顿转寂籁。

热血冲上我惨白的脸
把我的视线带到一边
在那丛林密布的地方
白日中天犹如深夜。

我一切视而不见
只有爱情的字眼
如琴弦汩汩流出的旋律
伴随热血燃烧在我的心田。

花儿可是冬季的宠儿
爱情的温床可是总有霜雪
她好像听到了我的无 声呼唤
却不是爱情的回解。

我还是一如从前
从未见过如此娇颜
我已魂不守舍
心儿飞向爱人的身边。
