[轉貼] 英文版沒有菸抽的日子

[vm3cl4bp6 (光→新聞人也是中文人)]

一位國外朋友貼給我的
據說是個美國人翻的
不知道翻得好不好
我英文太差看不出來
分享給大家

The days without any cigarettes
we were always parted,
but in my heart I always
cherished you, the only thing,
the only bit of hope.
Then the sky grew dark and dark,
the road could never reach the dawn,
my thoughts were laid out strand by strand
along the streets of the small grey town.
Perhaps you don’t much like it, then:
no blue doves to soar and wheel!

No cigarettes? Cut some firewood.
Smoke to your utter hopelessness!
Smoke to the light rain, scatter-sown;
it will never come again!

After you called me to mind –
Once again, days without smoke.
