The Siren (海妖)

[羅拔]

“The Siren” by Rob Chen, written and translated by Rob Chen

I.
Your silence
cuts me deeper
than your song.

妳的沉默
劃傷我，更甚
妳的歌

II.
Your smiles grow
into endless lavender fields.
Like a wild child,
I get lost, but miss not home.

妳的微笑
蔓成無垠薰衣草田
好似個野孩
我迷了路，卻不想家

III.
Drowned in your vortex-like
laughter, whispers and silence,
even when I'm home.

溺斃在妳渦旋般的
笑靨、低語與沉默裡
縱然我已歸鄉

VI.
Cease singing.
Nothing is left between us
but illusions.

停止歌唱吧
我們之間已無所賸
僅存幻覺

V.
I listen to the rain—
simply beautiful, and true.
And wonder why I had been sunken
in her artful melodies.

我聽著雨─
簡單優美，且真
疑惑著為何曾深陷
那狡獪的旋律

VI.
I listened to wild songs.
I listen to mild rains.
And will listen to
Nothingness.

我曾聽歌曲
我正聽著雨
而我將聆聽
無

羅拔好！我把貴作編輯如上，方便對照。

（好對不起您！原本要點擊「引言」，但點擊「編輯」，啊，請原諒！）

人在外頭（用iPad值版不好，容易出錯），先問問爲何這首抒情詩，題名為〈海妖〉呢？

諾爾問好羅拔詩友，順祝詩安！

[羅拔]

若爾版主您好：
　　沒關係的！在翻譯中文名稱的時候曾經考慮過直接音譯為「塞壬」，後因為怕讀者乍看會不知其所以然而意譯為「海妖」（或「海上女妖」？），不知道可否請您給些建議呢？感謝！

羅拔

[余學林]

I listened to wild songs.
I listen to mild rains.
And will listen to
Nothingness.

除了這邊之外，我就沒有地方可以提了，哈哈。

羅拔有沒有覺得自己愈來愈猛了？早日出詩集唷！

[羅拔]

感謝學林版主的建議與鼓勵，希望有朝一日真能出詩集阿！而全詩修改如下：
