第47章 用爱雕刻时光 (8)

Bu no one can

Understand our words.

You’ll have bronze limbs and iron trunk ,

Like knives, swords

And halberds

I’ll have my crimson flowers

Like sighs , heavy and deep ,

Like heroic torches ,

Together we’ll sharethe cold tided waves, storms , and thunderbolts;

Together we’ll share?the light mist , the colored rainbows ;

We shall always depend on each other.

Only this can be called great love.

Wherein lies the faith, true and deep.

I love not only your stateliness

But also your firm stand, the earth beneath you.

我如果爱你——

绝不像攀援的凌霄花,

借你的高枝炫耀自己:

我如果爱你——

绝不学痴情的鸟儿,

为绿荫重复单调的歌曲;

也不止像泉源,

常年送来清凉的慰籍;

也不止像险峰,

增加你的高度,衬托你的威仪。

甚至日光。

甚至春雨。

不,这些都还不够!

我必须是你近旁的一株木棉,

做为树的形象和你站在一起。

根,紧握在地下,

叶,相触在云里。

每一阵风过,

我们都互相致意,

但没有人

听懂我们的言语。

你有你的铜枝铁干,

像刀,像剑,

也像戟,

我有我的红硕花朵,

像沉重的叹息,

又像英勇的火炬,

我们分担寒潮、风雷、霹雳;

我们共享雾霭流岚、虹霓,

仿佛永远分离,却又终身相依,

这才是伟大的爱情,

坚贞就在这里:

不仅爱你伟岸的身躯,

也爱你坚持的位置,脚下的土地。
