岸

北岛
 
陪伴着现在和以往
岸，举着一根高高的芦苇
四下眺望
是你
守护着每一个波浪
守护着迷人的泡沫和星星
当呜咽的月亮
吹起古老的船歌
多么忧伤
 
我是岸
我是渔港
我伸展着手臂
等待着穷孩子的小船
载回一盏盏灯光
 
The Bank
Bei Dao
 
Companion to the present and the past
the bank, lifting a tall reed,
gazes in all directions
it is you
who keep watch on each wave
and the bewitching foams and stars
when the sobbing moon
strikes up an age-old shanty
it is so forlorn
 
I am a bank
a fishing haven
I stretch out my arms
to wait for the needy children's little boats
bringing back a string of lamps
