Everyone Sang
眾人歡歌

⊙ By Siegfried Sassoon ⊙ 翻譯：黍黎釋 ⊙ 撰稿：小狐

Everyone suddenly burst out singing,

And I was filled with such delight

As1)prisoned birds must find in freedom,

2)Winging wildly across the white

3)Orchards and dark-green fields; on—on—and out of sight.

Everyone’s voice was suddenly lifted;

And beauty came like the setting sun:

My heart was shaken with tears; and4)horror

5)Drifted away… O, but every one

Was a bird; and the song was wordless; the singing will never be done.

參考譯文

眾人突然高唱

我也愉悅釋懷

似籠中鳥找回自由

展翅飛過

白果園和青綠田；一直飛至天際

眾人歌聲忽高昂

如落日一樣壯觀

我心顫流淚；煩事盡散去每人如飛鳥

歌聲雖停止；余音卻不絕
