荆棘鸟诗歌
传说中有一种荆棘鸟 一生只唱一次
( There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in his life )
那歌声比世界上所有一切生灵的歌声都更加优美动听
( more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth )
从离开巢窝的那一刻起 她就在寻找荆棘树 直到如愿以偿
( From the moment it leaves the nest it searchs for a thorn tree,and does not rest until it has found one )
然后 她把自己的身体扎进最长、最尖的刺上 在那荒蛮的枝条之间放开歌喉
( Then,singing among the savage branches,it impales itself upon the longest,sharpest spine )
在奄奄一息的时刻里 她超脱了自身的痛苦 那歌声使云雀和夜莺都黯然失色
( And,dying,it rises above its own agony to outcarol the lark and the nightingale )
这是一曲无比美好的歌 曲终而命竭
( One superlative song,existence the price )
然而 整个世界都在静静地谛听 上帝也在苍穹中微笑
( But the whole world stills to listen,and God in His Heaven smiles )
因为 最美好的东西只能用深痛巨创来换取
( For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain )
