歌词
Hail to thee, blithe Spirit!
你好呵,欢乐的精灵!
Bird thou never wert,
你似乎从不是飞禽,
That from Heaven, or near it,
从天堂或天堂的邻近,
Pourest thy full heart,In profuse strains of unpremeditated art.
以酣畅淋漓的乐音,不事雕琢的艺术,倾吐你的衷心。
Higher still and higher,
向上,再向高处飞翔,
From the earth thou springest,
从地面你一跃而上,
Like a cloud of fire;
像一片烈火的青云,
The blue deep thou wingest,
掠过蔚蓝的天心,
And singing still dost soar, and soaring ever singest.
永远歌唱着飞翔,飞翔着歌唱。
In the golden lightning,Of the sunken sun,
地平线下的太阳,
O‘er which clouds are bright’ning,
放射出金色的电光,
Thou dost float and run,
晴空里霞蔚云蒸,你沐浴着明光飞行,
Like an unbodied joy whose race is just begun.
似不具形体的喜悦刚开始迅疾的远征。
The pale purple even,
淡淡的绛紫色黄昏,
Melts around thy flight;
在你的航程周围消融;
Like a star of Heaven,In the broad daylight,
像昼空的一颗星星,
Thou art unseen,
虽然,看不见形影,
but yet I hear thy shrill delight;
却可以听得清你那欢乐的强音——
Keen as are the arrows,
那犀利明快的乐音,
Of that silver sphere,
似银色星光的利剑,
Whose intense lamp narrows,
它那强烈的明灯,
In the white dawn clear,
在晨曦中逐渐暗淡,
Until we hardly see--we feel that it is there.
直到难以分辨,却能感觉到就在空间。
All the earth and air,
整个大地和大气,
With thy voice is loud.
响彻你婉转的歌喉,
As,when night is bare.
仿佛在荒凉的黑夜,
From one lonely cloud,
从一片孤云背后,
The moon rains out her beams,
明月射出光芒,
and heaven is overflowed.
清辉洋溢宇宙。
What thou art we know not;
我们不知你是什么
What is most like thee?
什么和你最为相似?
From rainbow clouds there flow not,
从霓虹似的彩霞,
Drops so bright to see,
也难降这样美的雨,
As from thy presence showers a rain of melody.
能和随你出现降下的乐曲甘霖相比。
Like a poet hidden,
像一位诗人,
In the light of thought,
隐身在思想的明辉之中。
Singing hymns unbidden,
吟诵着即兴的诗韵,
Till the world is wrought,
直到普天下的同情,
To sympathy with hopes and fears it heeded not;
都被未曾留意过的希望和忧虑唤醒。
Like a high-born maiden,
像一位高贵的少女,
In a palace tower,
居住在深宫的楼台,
Soothing her love-laden,
在寂寞难言的时刻,
Soul in secret hour,
排遣为爱所苦的情怀,
With music sweet as love, which overflows her bower;
甜美有如爱情的歌曲溢出闺阁之外。
Like a glow-worm golden,
像一只金色的萤火虫,
In a dell of dew,
在凝露的深山幽谷,
Scattering unbeholden,
不显露出行止影踪,
Its aerial hue.
把晶莹的流光传播,
Among the flowers and grass, which screen it from the view:
在遮断我们视线的鲜花芳草丛中。
Like a rose embowered,
像被她自己的绿叶
In its own green leaves,
荫蔽着的一朵玫瑰,
By warm winds deflowered,
遭受到热风的摧残,
Till the scent it gives,
直到它的馥郁芳菲
Makes faint with too much sweet these heavy-winged thieves.
以过浓的香甜使鲁莽的飞贼沉醉。
Sound of vernal showers,
晶莹闪烁的草地,
On the twinkling grass,
春霖洒落时的声息,
Rain-awakened flowers,
雨后苏醒了的花蕾,
All that ever was,Joyous, and clear,and fresh,thy music doth surpass.
称得上明朗、欢悦,清新的一切,都及不上你的音乐。
Teach us,sprite or bird,
飞禽或是精灵,
What sweet thoughts are thine,
有什么甜美的思绪在你心头?
I have never heard,
我从来没有听到过,
Praise of love or wine,
爱情或是醇酒的颂歌,
That panted forth a flood of rapture so divine.
能够迸涌出这样神圣的极乐音流。
Chorus hymeneal
是赞婚的合唱也罢,
Or triumphal chaunt,
是凯旋的欢歌也罢,
Matched with thine, would be all,
和你的乐声相比,
But an empty vaunt,
不过是空洞的浮夸,
A thing wherein we feel there is some hidden want.
人们可以觉察到,其中总有着贫乏。
What objects are the fountains,
什么样的物象或事件,
Of thy happy strain?
是你那欢歌的源泉?
What fields, or waves, or mountains?
田野、波涛或山峦?
What shapes of sky or plain?
空中、陆上的形态?
What love of thine own kind? what ignorance of pain?
是对同类的爱,还是对痛苦的绝缘?
With thy clear keen joyance,
有你明澈强烈的欢快,
Languor cannot be,
使倦怠永不会出现,
Shadow of annoyance,
烦恼的阴影从来
Never came near thee.
接近不得你的身边,
Thou lovest,but ne'er knew love's sad satiety.
你爱,却从不知晓过分充满爱的悲哀。
Waking or asleep,
是醒来或是睡去,
Thou of death must deem,
你对死亡的理解一定比
Things more true and deep,Than we mortals dream,
我们凡人梦到的更加深刻真切,
Or how could thy notes flow in such a crystal stream?
否则你的乐曲音流,怎么像液态的水晶涌泻?
We look before and after,
我们瞻前顾后,
And pine for what is not,
为了不存在的事物自忧,
Our sincerest laughter,
我们最真挚的笑,
With some pain is fraught;
也交织着某种苦恼,
Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.
我们最美的音乐,是最能倾诉哀思的曲调。
Yet if we could scorn,
可是,即使我们能摈弃
Hate ,and pride,and fear;
憎恨、傲慢和恐惧,
If we were things born
即使我们生来不会
Not to shed a tear,
抛洒一滴眼泪,
I know not how thy joy we ever should come near.
我们也不知,怎样才能接近于你的欢愉。
Better than all measures,
比一切欢乐的音律,
Of delightful sound,
更加甜蜜美妙,
Better than all treasures,
比一切书中的宝库,
That in books are found,
更加丰盛富饶,
Thy skill to poet were, thou scorner of the ground!
这就是鄙弃尘土的你啊!你的艺术技巧
Teach me half the gladness,
教给我一半你的心
That thy brain must know,
必定是熟知的欢欣,
Such harmonious madness,
和谐、炽热的激情
From my lips would flow,
就会流出我的双唇,
The world should listen then, as I am listening now!
全世界就会像此刻的我——侧耳倾听!
