Rock Me To Sleep - Elizabeth Akers Allen
搖籃曲 - Elizabeth Akers Allen
Backward, turn backward, Time, in your flight, Make me a child again just for tonight!
時(shí)間的流逝，后退，向后退，讓我做回小孩，就只在今夜！
Mother, come back from the echoless shore, Take me again to your heart as of yore;
母親，從沒有回音的海岸回來，一如往昔把我擁抱在懷里；
Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care, Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair;
親我額頭，充滿關(guān)懷的皺紋，順理我頭發(fā)上幾根銀絲；
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep; — Rock me to sleep, mother, – rock me to sleep!
在我睡眠中，一直憐愛地望著我 ；-搖我睡覺，母親 – 搖我入睡！
Backward, flow backward, O tide of the years!
噢，歲月的潮汐，后退，向后退！
I am so weary of toil and of tears, — Toil without recompense, tears all in vain,
我己厭倦於辛勞與眼淚 –辛勞而沒有補(bǔ)償，眼淚都徒勞無功
Take them, and give me my childhood again!
都拿去吧，只要給回我童年！
I have grown weary of dust and decay, — Weary of flinging my soul-wealth away; Weary of sowing for others to reap;
我已經(jīng)厭倦了塵埃與腐敗，厭倦於丟失我心靈財(cái)富，厭倦於為他人作嫁衣裳
Rock me to sleep, mother – rock me to sleep!
搖我入睡，母親 – 搖我入睡！
Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue, Mother, O mother, my heart calls for you!
厭倦於空洞，卑鄙，不真實(shí)，母親，噢，母親，我的心在呼喚您！
Many a summer the grass has grown green, Blossomed and faded, our faces between:
多少個(gè)夏天，草長綠了，花開了，凋謝了，在我們的面與面之間：
Yet, with strong yearning and passionate pain, Long I tonight for your presence again.
然而，強(qiáng)烈的愿望，激情的痛苦，讓我今夜渴望再見到您的出現(xiàn)。
Come from the silence so long and so deep;
來自沉默，那么的久遠(yuǎn)，那么的深沉，
Rock me to sleep, mother – rock me to sleep!
搖我入睡，母親 – 搖我入睡！
Come, let your brown hair, just lighted with gold, Fall on your shoulders again as of old;
來吧，讓您的棕發(fā)，閃閃發(fā)光，一如往昔落在您的肩膀；
Let it drop over my forehead tonight, Shading my faint eyes away from the light;
讓它落在我額頭，今夜，護(hù)我微弱的眼晴，不讓光線照到；
For with its sunny-edged shadows once more Haply will throng the sweet visions of yore;
因?yàn)椋僖淮危@個(gè)邊緣充滿陽光的身影，無意中又撩起昔日甜蜜的愿景；
Lovingly, softly, its bright billows sweep;
深情地，輕柔地，您明亮的發(fā)絲，波光粼粼 ；
Rock me to sleep, mother, – rock me to sleep!
搖我入睡，母親 – 搖我入睡！
Mother, dear mother, the years have been long Since I last listened your lullaby song:
母親，親愛的母親，已經(jīng)好多年了，自從我最后一次聽您的催眠曲；
Sing, then, and unto my soul it shall seem Womanhood's years have been only a dream.
那么，唱吧，唱到我的心靈深處，讓我成長為婦人的歲月，只不過是一場夢
Clasped to your heart in a loving embrace, With your light lashes just sweeping my face, Never hereafter to wake or to weep;
將我緊靠您的心，作個(gè)愛的擁抱，您的眼睫毛輕輕地，剛掃過我的面龐，從今而后，不再醒來或哭泣 ；
Rock me to sleep, mother, – rock me to sleep!
搖我入睡，母親 – 搖我入睡！
