By Thomas Nashe
Spring, the sweet spring, is the year's pleasant king;
Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
The palm and may make country houses gay,
Lambs frisk and play, the shepherds pipe all day,
And we hear aye birds tune this merry lay,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
The fields breathe sweet, the daisies kiss our feet,
Young lovers meet, old wives a sunning sit,
In every street these tunes our ears do greet,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
Spring! the sweet Spring!
春
托馬斯?納什
春,甘美之春,壹年之中的堯舜,
處處都有花樹,都有女兒環舞,
微寒但覺清和,佳禽爭著唱歌,
啁啁,啾啾,哥哥,割麥、插壹禾!
榆柳呀山楂,打扮著田舍人家,
羊羔嬉遊,牧笛兒整日在吹奏,
百鳥總在和鳴,壹片悠揚聲韻,
啁啁,啾啾,哥哥,割麥、插壹禾!
郊原蕩漾香風,雛菊吻人腳踵,
情侶作對成雙,老嫗坐曬陽光,
走向任何通衢,都有歌聲悅耳,
啁啁,啾啾,哥哥,割麥、插壹禾!
春!甘美之春!
SPRING
William Blake
Sound the flute!
Now it's mute.
Birds delight
Day and night;
Nightingale
In the dale,
Lark in sky,
Merrily,
Merrily, merrily, to welcome in the year.
Little boy,
Full of joy;
Little girl,
Sweet and small;
Cock does crow,
So do you;
Merry voice,
Infant noise,
Merrily, merrily, to welcome in the year.
Little lamb,
Here I am;
Come and lick
My white neck;
Let me pull
Your soft wool;
Let me kiss
Your soft face;
Merrily, merrily, we welcome in the year.
春
郭沫若 譯
笛聲加緊!
俄而悄靜。
無晝無夜,
百鳥和鳴;
谷中有
夜鳴鶯,
天上有百靈,
多喜幸,
多喜幸,多喜幸,迎接新春。
小童們,
真高興;
小娘們,
甜而嫩;
雞在唱,
人在吟;
嬰兒笑聲
沁人心,
多喜幸,多喜幸,迎接新春。
小羊羔,
我在等;
妳請來
舐我白頸;
把妳柔毛
讓我抿;
把妳面龐
讓我吻;
多喜幸,多喜幸,迎接新春。
