Borges

中文原文

突然间黄昏变得明亮

因为此刻正有细雨在落下

或曾经落下。下雨

无疑是在过去发生的一件事

谁听见雨落下，谁就回想起

那个时候，幸福的命运向他呈现了

一朵叫作玫瑰的花

和它奇妙的、鲜红的色彩。

这蒙住了窗玻璃的细雨

必将在被遗弃的郊外

在某个不复存在的庭院里洗亮

架上的黑葡萄。潮湿的暮色

带给我一个声音，我渴望的声音，

我的父亲回来了，他没有死去。

英文原文

The afternoon grows light because at last

Abruptly a minutely shredded rain

Is falling, or it fell. For once again

Rain is something happening in the past.

Whoever hears it fall has brought to mind

Time when by a sudden lucky chance

A flower called "rose" was open to his glance

And the curious color of the colored kind.

This rain that blinds the windows with its mists

Will gladden in suburbs no more to be found

The black grapes on a vine there overhead

In a certain patio that no longer exists.

And the drenched afternoon brings back the sound

How longed for, of my father's voice, not dead.
