Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

Dylan Thomas

翻譯：高曉松

Do not go gentle into that good night,

絕不向黑夜請安,

Old age should burn and rave at the close of day;

老朽請于白日盡頭涅槃,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

咆哮于光之消散.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

先哲雖敗于幽暗,

Because their words had forked no lightning they

詩歌終不能將蒼穹點燃,

Do not go gentle into that good night.

絕不向黑夜請安,

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

賢者舞蹈于碧灣,

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

為驚濤淹沒的善行哭喊,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

咆哮于光之消散.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,

狂者如夸父逐日,

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

高歌中頓覺遲來的傷感,

Do not go gentle into that good night.

絕不向黑夜請安.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

逝者于臨終迷幻,

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

盲瞳怒放出流星的燦爛,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

咆哮于光之消散.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,

那么您，我垂垂將死的父親,

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray,

請掬最后一捧熱淚降臨, 請詛咒, 請保佑,我祈愿

Do not go gentle into that good night,

絕不向黑夜請安,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

咆哮于光之消散.
