Tom Radzienda: An Island of our Own 我們是各自的島嶼

我們是各自的島嶼
沙美島，羅勇省

到底在哪兒我們才能隨意的
用微風編起一首首觸動心弦的樂音？
我們沿著岸邊的小徑前行
浪潮輕語著一波波海洋深處的遊戲秘密

跟隨海洋時間節奏運行的島嶼
無視工業化的法則
自由安坐大海上 唱著
或吶喊著 當風兒激發靈感之時

詩人是身處海上市場的一個孤島
那裡有文字被解體地買賣交易
那裡有金錢被自身的頑固重量所淹沒
輕盈的願景只能隨溫柔的翅膀飄流而去

島嶼是一個拒絕加入陸地的詩人
拒絕合併拒絕法律的認可
拒絕在無聊沉悶的機械中
變成一介平凡的勞工

詩人是樹立在僅存綠木中的指南
是島嶼，靈感的搖籃
金色鳥群的柔美與抒情之音一同飛翔
詩歌吹著口哨哼出它自有的勇敢之歌

蒙自然環境政策所造之福
詩人們擁抱令人尊敬之潮水
解放想要佔有世界的連鎖欲望
揚起風帆遠離港彎勇敢地活著

一朵花的耳語對海岸是獨一無二的
一生的詩人懷抱和自己的協議
不管壓力也不輕易順應
深信自身的潛能

能徹底擺脫市場的牽制
有完全的自由去愛沙子的起伏
有柔順的自由不受人類的侵蝕
不因積欠合夥人重債而喘不過氣

我們是各自的島嶼




An Island of our Own
Koh Samet, Rayong Province

Where are we free to create from the breeze
Melodies to touch our deepest chords?
We walk the trail along water’s edge
Waves whisper the secrets of subterranean toys

The island runs on ocean time
Regardless the industrial laws
Freedom sits in the ocean and sings
Or cries as the wind inspires

The poet is an island in a marketing sea
Where words are bought and sold by the piece
Where money sinks under its own stubborn weight
And lightest visions float on tender wings

The island is a poet refusing to join the mainland
Refusing to incorporate and legalize
Refusing to be common labour
Among masses of dull mashines

The poet is a guide among remaining trees
The island, a cradle of inspiration
The golden birds mellow upon lyrical voices
Poetry whistles its own courageous song

The politics of nature bestow honour
Where poets embrace the waves of respect
Free from chains of desire to own the world
Sailing high upon harbours brave to be alive

The whisper of a flower unique to these shores,
A lifetime poet of its own accord,
Ignores the pressures to conform
Believes in its own potential

To be totally free from market forces
Thoroughly free to love the sand as it lies
Smoothely free from the corrosion of mortals
So heavily weighted by debts to senior partners

We are islands of our own

Sting: They dance alone

Sting: They dance alone

Why are there women here dancing on their own?
Why is there this sadness in their eyes?
Why are the soldiers here
Their faces fixed like stone?
I can't see what it is that they dispise
They're dancing with the missing
They're dancing with the dead
They dance with the invisible ones
Their anguish is unsaid
They're dancing with their fathers
They're dancing with their sons
They're dancing with their husbands
They dance alone They dance alone

It's the only form of protest they're allowed
I've seen their silent faces scream so loud
If they were to speak these words they'd go missing too
Another woman on a torture table what else can they do
They're dancing with the missing
They're dancing with the dead
They dance with the invisible ones
Their anguish is unsaid
They're dancing with their fathers
They're dancing with their sons
They're dancing with their husbands
They dance alone They dance alone

One day we'll dance on their graves
One day we'll sing our freedom
One day we'll laugh in our joy
And we'll dance
One day we'll dance on their graves
One day we'll sing our freedom
One day we'll laugh in our joy
And we'll dance

Ellas danzan con los desaparecidos
Ellas danzan con los muertos
Ellas danzan con amores invisibles
Ellas danzan con silenciosa angustia
Danzan con sus pardres
Danzan con sus hijos
Danzan con sus esposos
Ellas danzan solas
Danzan solas

Hey Mr. Pinochet
You've sown a bitter crop
It's foreign money that supports you
One day the money's going to stop
No wages for your torturers
No budget for your guns
Can you think of your own mother
Dancin' with her invisible son
They're dancing with the missing
They're dancing with the dead
They dance with the invisible ones
They're anguish is unsaid
They're dancing with their fathers
They're dancing with their sons
They're dancing with their husbands
They dance alone
They dance alone

6.5 should be 6.9 billion
2011/08/10 01:33

Sorry for the omission; I meant to say 6.9 billion of mankind.

The world population is going to reach 7 billion soon.

呵呵，忘記告訴大哥，我是個數字白癡。世界人口已趨近7 billion，聽起來真的很多，可是所有先進的國家都擔心人口老化，擔心年輕後代不夠多，老一代的退休金誰來付啊（至少德國的社會福利是這麼運作的）。

Everyone is a separate entity

我們每一個人是各自的島嶼， 精神上可以如此， 卻不能全然不食人間煙火.

For better or worse, everyone of us is just one of the 6.5 mankinds in the crowded world.

A Muslim friend of mine told me once that he suspects that it is God's design to have wars among mankinds so as to reduce human number - since human has no natural enemy.
d.d. (daidihu) 於 2011-08-09 20:09 回覆：
人類當然有天然的敵人，當大自然如巨人般帶來的襲擊和災難時，想想看人類是何其地渺小和無助啊~

您那位回教朋友的觀點也許不錯，但是，這個應該不能成為人類自相殘殺和戰爭的合理藉口。

以後還想請通宵大哥不吝指正我在翻譯上的不當處或建議更好的字詞表達，這首詩的難度頗大，還有幾處尚待修潤中。感恩哦~

翻得很好

原作者Tom Radzienda是詩人也是靈氣治療師，他自稱是一位
無家可歸的詩人，他要忠於心的真相。

在這首詩中，詩人自認是身處海上的一個孤島，拒絕加入陸地，
反抗工業社會的禁錮，不管壓力也不輕易順應，深信自身的潛能。

這首詩博客獨白翻譯得很好，把他的奧義充分表達出來，可能
她本人的氣質跟原作者其實也很接近吧！

和 Tom Radzienda 的緣份說起來也算奇妙。兩年半前想去泰國玩順便進修靈氣療法，在網路上隨意地找靈氣導師而找到他，馬上就有非常正向的感應，尤其欣賞他還是個詩人，又在大學教過書。透過他，我得到靈氣療法的二級認證。他很大方地送了我他的詩集兩本，我很喜歡他的作品，讀起來都頗有感覺，於是開始隨意地翻譯起來。他也很讚賞我的用心。

這首詩是借由他對Koh Samet 沙美島的沉思，把詩人比喻成島嶼，探討自主自由與附屬依賴的關係，是很耐人尋味值得一讀再讀的好作品。因為長，挑戰性更大，還有好些地方，可能還有修飾的必要，我還在等待靈光乍現的時機。。。
