从没遇到的你

里尔克
从没遇到的你
我的爱，一开始就从我的怀里迷失
我甚至不知道什么样的歌
能让你喜欢，我虽然已经放弃在下一个时刻的波动里辨认你
但我把所有的美丽珍藏在心底-那些遥远
却触动我心灵的风景。城市。塔楼。桥梁
还有那些漫不经心的小道的弯曲
那些曾经伴随神灵的脉搏
跳动的沧海桑田
所有这一切都触发我想到
我永远梦寐以求的你
你，我的爱，是我
凝视，向往过的花园
乡间房舍里敞开的
一扇窗-而且你差点儿就
若有所思地走出来，和我相遇
我徜徉的街道上
你刚刚走过，消失
甚至有时候，在一家店铺里
你的身影仍在镜子里晃动
我看到的却是冒昧的自己
也许，昨夜，你我天各一方
同一只鸟的叫声
却在你我心中同时回响。。。
You Who Never Arrived
You who never arrived
in my arms, Beloved, who were lost
from the start,
I don't even know what songs
would please you. I have given up trying
to recognize you in the surging wave of
the next moment. All the immense
images in me -- the far-off, deeply-felt landscape,
cities, towers, and bridges, and un-
suspected turns in the path,
and those powerful lands that were once
pulsing with the life of the gods--
all rise within me to mean
you, who forever elude me.
You, Beloved, who are all
the gardens I have ever gazed at,
longing. An open window
in a country house-- , and you almost
stepped out, pensive, to meet me. Streets that I chanced
upon,--
you had just walked down them and vanished.
And sometimes, in a shop, the mirrors
were still dizzy with your presence and, startled, gave back
my too-sudden image. Who knows? Perhaps the same
bird echoed through both of us
yesterday, separate, in the evening...
