《You are nothing》及译文

《You are nothing》

【Anne Fu】

You are nothing

Nothing but blue light

And frost moons

Nothing but evening stars

And black clouds

Nothing but faint memeries

As cold as ice water

And words as sharp as thorns

You are nothing

Nothing more than

The crystals coating your lips

And the snow melting on your eyelashes

And the creaking branches of the forest

Brittle as old glass or broken hearts

You

Are nothing

Nothing more than the cold that bites intoyour throat

And candlelight that pools at your feet

And the black crows who sing their songs

Songs as beautiful as the moon

Cratered and brilliant white

But not songs sung for you

You are nothing

Nothing more

Than the winter voices that call out

And the angry howl of the wind

And breath that leaves you

Warm and pale

Velvet against dark ice

Light against heavy silence

You

Soft like snow

Sweet like sugar

Red like blood

I know you

And you are nothing anymore.

《君乃虚无》

翻译：刘晓华

君乃虚无

虚无以外的蓝光

以及霜月

虚无以外的启明星

以及乌云

虚无以外淡淡的记忆

冷如冰水

言如利刺

君乃虚无

虚无以外

涂在你唇上的水晶

融在你睫毛上的雪花

以及树林中

咯吱作响的枝杈

脆如旧玻璃，易碎如心

君乃虚无

虚无以外，侵入你咽喉的冷

洒在你足前的一湾烛光

唱着自编歌曲的一群乌鸦

歌声美如天上那轮

凹凸不平却洁白的明月

而歌却非为君而唱

君乃虚无

虚无以外，唤响的冬天之声

以及风的怒号

以及离你而去的呼吸

温暖而苍白

漆黑冰面上的天鹅绒

厚重沉寂上的轻

君

轻柔似雪

甘甜若糖

鲜红如血

我懂君

君便不再虚无。
