徐英才情诗八首

1. 等你，在桥上

等你在桥上 徐英才词 薛凯曲唱来自诗殿堂 Poetry Hall00:0004:27

等你，在桥上

在玉兰掩映的拱桥上

你走过我身边

深情一望

从此，那眼神就让我迷惘

等你，在桥上

在荷花满塘的拱桥上

你走过我身边

嫣然一笑

从此，那笑就占满我心房

等你，在桥上

在百合遍岸的拱桥上

你走过我身边

滑落了披肩

从此，我就仔细把它珍藏

等你，在桥上

在放眼杜鹃的拱桥上

你走过我身边

我递过披肩

这一次，你停住了脚

 

你问我为何一直走上这座桥

我说等你

我问你为何一直来到这座桥

你说等我

人生这座桥

它的名字叫缘份桥

真诚与忠贞的脚步

定会走出一串爱的等号

1. Waiting for You on the Bridge

I’m waiting for you on the bridge --

an arched bridge shaded by magnolias

You walk by

giving me an affectionate look

Since then, that look has mesmerized me

I’m waiting for you on the bridge --

an arched bridge with a pool of lotus flowers underneath

You walk by

bestowing on me a charming smile

Since then, that smile has taken my whole heart

I’m waiting for you on the bridge --

an arched bridge with lily-covered banks

You walk by

and your scarf slips off

Since then, I’ve carefully kept it with me

 

I’m waiting for you on the bridge --

an arched bridge with a full view of azaleas ahead

You walk by

and I hand over your scarf

This time, you’ve stopped walking

 

You ask me why I always come onto this bridge

I say I am waiting for you

I ask you why you always come onto this bridge

you say you are waiting for me

 

This bridge in our life

is called the Bridge of Karmic Marriage

on which, our sincere and loyal footsteps

will surely imprint the equal sign of love

2. 树与藤

爱你

就要

牢牢地扎下根

为你凭空支起

一个可以依靠的身

爱你

就要

直直地挺起腰

不论风吹雨打

都要让你攀附缠绕

爱你

就要

努力汲取养分

不断健壮自己

把你带到九宵云梢

 

那时

身虽已斑驳

心却更紧贴

我牵着你

你拉着我

在苍茫人世间

留下一道美丽风景

2. The Tree and the Vine

If I love you

I will

root deeply and firmly

to set up without any prop

a body for you to hold on to

 

If I love you

I will

straighten up my back

for you to lean on

whether there is wind or rain

 

If I love you

I will

work hard to absorb nutrition

and strengthen myself

so I can bring you up to the sky

By then

although my body is scarred and mottled

our hearts will be closer

I will hold on to you

and you will hold on to me

to leave behind us a beautiful scene

in the vast world

3. 荷花

 

昨夜

月光下

薰风中

你晃着婀娜的身姿

幻想与心上人同舞

一梦醒来

你依旧孑然一身

在那里

低着头

苦苦等待

默默思念

你纯洁，高贵，惊艳

出污泥而不染

你

不屑与浪荡浮萍为伍

不屑与惹花蜻蜓为伴

在那里

低着头

苦苦等待

默默思念

你等啊等

直到藕身洞孔熬满

你望啊望

直到蓬身满眼望穿

你的白马王子仍旧没有来

你依然一往情深

在那里

低着头

苦苦等待

默默思念

 

哪怕多事者给你一刀

你也定然藕断丝连

3. The Lotus

Last night

under the moon

in a balmy breeze

you sway your graceful body

while imagine yourself dancing with your sweet heart

When awake from the dream

you find yourself still alone

You stand there

bending your head over

waiting in anxiety

and longing in silence

You are chaste, noble, and surprisingly beautiful

You rise unsullied from mud

you

disdain to stay with flirting duckweed

and hate to accompany playful dragonflies

You stand there

bending your head over

waiting in anxiety

and longing in silence

You wait and wait

until all your lower body hollows out into air pockets

You look and look

until all your lotus eyes are strained

Yet still, your prince charming has not arrived

and yet still, your passion for him remains

You stand there

bending your head over

waiting in anxiety

and longing in silence

Even if a curious person cuts your body into two pieces

your passion remains undetached

4. 柳与溪

冥冥中

是谁让你我牵手

却不让我们同走

我天天在路边潺潺

祈祷着等你几十年

你来了

只是站在我身旁   

低着头把我凝望

你望着我

进入我的眼帘

深入我的心窝

我望着你

收你入我的眸

存在我的心头

你守在我身旁

天天为我婀娜舞蹈

我守在你身旁

天天为你动情长歌

世上最残酷的爱

莫过于你和我

近在咫尺

却不能相依同行

只能

你望着我

我望着你

任绵绵爱意飞絮而去

任缠缠情意空流而走

4. The Willow and the Stream

In the nether world

who lets you and me hold hands

but doesn’t let us journey together

Every day I murmur by the roadside

praying for dozens of years for you to come

You come

yet only to stand by myside

lowering your head to look at me

 

You look at me

into my eyes

and down into my heart

I watch you

capturing the image of your pupil

and imprinting it in my heart

You guard me by myside

and dance gently for me everyday

I guard you by your side

and sing touchingly for you everyday 

The cruelest love in this world

is the one between you and me

for we are so close to each other

but can never journey together

What we can only do is

you look at me

and I watch you

while lamenting the drifting away of your love with the catkins

and the flowing away of my love over the stream

5. 杨柳

有人说

杨柳轻飘

似水无常

不

我说不——

我爱杨柳

爱她不象其它乔木

昂首冲天

奢望高远

她玉立在

檐前屋后溪旁

守着家院

护着故乡

我爱杨柳

爱她不象其它乔木

挺胸杨面

趾高气昂

她谦卑地

低着头耷着肩

掩面垂帘

从不它顾

我爱杨柳

爱她不象其它乔木

迎风喧嚣

哗哗作响

她顺从地

轻轻地摇啊摇

随风而舞

顺应流变

她

风姿绰约

犹如窈窕素女

冰清玉洁

就像贞洁贵妇

她

安谧于朦胧烟雨

飞絮于明媚春光

轻舞于惠风秋阳

她

摇啊摇

摇啊摇

从远古摇到今朝

5. The Willow

Some say

the willow has a floating nature

like water, unstable

No，

I’d say no ---

I love the willow ---

I love it for it is unlike other trees

that look up into the sky

and extravagantly hope to reach far and high

She gracefully stands

In front of the house, in the rear, or by a creek

guarding her home

and her birthplace

I love the willow ---

I love it for it is unlike other trees

that thrust out their chests and lift their faces

pompous and arrogant

She humbly

lowers her head and loosens her shoulders

covering her face with hands and unrolled curtains

only minding her own matters

 

I love the willow ---

I love it for it is unlike other trees

that clamor in wind

and make a lot of noises

She obediently

sways herself

dancing with the wind

and following its beat

She

is charming and graceful

like a dainty beauty

clear as crystal and pure as jade

and chase as a noble lady

She

settles in the misty drizzle

flies its catkins in the spring sunlight

and dances in the balmy wind or under the autumn sun

 

She

sways and sways

sways and sways

from the ancient times to this day



6. 你是那月亮，我是那钱塘

你不忍心看我伤疼

悄悄从我身后离开

你带着一脸忧思

游走天涯

夜夜难归

我荡着一塘思潮

留守海边

夜夜盼你

你我远隔千里

心却永远相印

每当夜色降临

想我

你拨开云雾

把我遥望

皎好的面容投我心上

想你

我敞开胸怀

把你迎接

粼粼的波涛抚你倩影

你的爱

天地见证

我的贞

日月明鉴

你每次爱莫能耐

向我靠近

都激我爱潮汹涌

我每次爱你难忍

向你潮涌

你都用引力牵引

有我相爱相衬

你在长空格外皓洁

有你相爱相倾

我在大江越发潋滟

钱塘江上的月色啊

就是月色下的钱塘

6. You are that Moon and I am that Qiantang River

Not to sadden me

you sneak away from behind

With a face full of brooding expressions

you journey in the sky

unable to return any night

Rippling a river full of thought streams

I stay by the sea

hoping each night you would return

Although we are a thousand li apart

we are close in heart

When night falls

longing for me

you open the clouds

to gaze at me

casting your lovely facial image into my heart

Longing for you

I open my bosom

to receive you

the crystalline waves stroking your agreeable image

Your love

is witnessed by the Earth and the Heaven

My loyalty

attested by the sun and the moon

When you can no longer stand the torture of love

you move toward me

and my love-waves surge up

When I can no longer bear the pain of love

I surge up toward you

and you attract me with your gravity

 

With my love and company

you appear especially bright in the sky

With your love and company

I am especially resplendent in the great river

The scene of the moon over the Qiantang River

is the scene of Qiantang River under the moon

7. 思念

是一张

　卡盘光碟

    　始终

　　　定格在你的倩影上

是一丸

　不眠的药

    　彻夜

　　　让我辗转反侧

是一股

　思绪的激流

    　反复

　　　把你带入我的梦乡

7. The Feeling of Missing You

Is a

      Compact disc

            That has stuck

                  On the image of your figure

Is a

      Sleepless pill

            That has kept me

                   Tossing and turning in bed

And is a

      Stream of thought

            That has brought you

                  Repeatedly into my dream



8. 我心中的诗

你抬头问我什么是诗

我看着你清澈的眼睛

温柔一笑

你又问我什么是意境

我看着你动人的脸庞

还是温柔一笑

你不解地看着我

全然不知

你就是我心中完美的诗

8. You Are a Perfect Poem to Me

You lift your head asking me what poetry is

I look into your limpid eyes

and just give you a gentle smile

You then ask me what imagery is

I look at your charming face

And just give you another smile

You look at me confused

Not knowing

I am reading a perfect poem in my heart
