远行的小船

鲍海飞 译 2011-11-8

Where Go the Boats?  Robert Louis Stevenson

Dark brown is the river,
Golden is the sun

It flows along for ever,
With trees on either hand.
碧绿幽幽水，金黄闪闪沙；

滔滔流不尽，两岸满芳花。

Green leaves a-floating,
Castles of the foam,
Boats of mine a-boating
Where will all come home?
绿叶飘水上，泡沫如城堡；

小船水中荡，何处把家找？

On goes the river
And out past the mill,
Away down the valley,
Away down the hill.
顺水蜿蜒行，磨坊旁不停；

激流峡谷跃，山下述豪情。

Away down the river,

A hundred miles or more,
Other little children
Shall bring my boats ashore.

一路奔向前，遥遥百里帆，

谁家小顽童，引我上岸边。
