Dylan Thomas

巫宁坤译

高晓松译

Do not go gentle into that good  night,

Old age should burn and rave at the  close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the  light.

Though wise men at their end know  dark is right,

Because their words had forked no  lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good  night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying  how bright

Their frail deeds might have danced  in a green bay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the  light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun  in flight,

And learn, too late, they grieved it  on its way,

Do not go gentle into that good  night.

Grave men, near death, who see with  blinding sight

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors  and be gay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the  light.

And you, my father, there on the sad  height,

Curse, bless, me now with your  fierce tears, I pray,

Do not go gentle into that good  night,

Rage, rage against the dying of the  light.

不要温和地走进那个良夜，

老年应当在日暮时燃烧咆哮；

怒斥，怒斥光明的消逝。

虽然智慧的人临终时懂得黑暗有理，

因为他们的话没有迸发出闪电，他们

也并不温和地走进那个良夜。

善良的人，当最后一浪过去，高呼他们脆弱的善行

可能曾会多么光辉地在绿色的海湾里舞蹈，

怒斥，怒斥光明的消逝。

狂暴的人抓住并歌唱过翱翔的太阳，

懂得，但为时太晚，他们使太阳在途中悲伤，

也并不温和地走进那个良夜。

严肃的人，接近死亡，用炫目的视觉看出

失明的眼睛可以像流星一样闪耀欢欣，

怒斥，恕斥光明的消逝。

您啊，我的父亲．在那悲哀的高处．

现在用您的热泪诅咒我，祝福我吧．我求您

不要温和地走进那个良夜。

怒斥，怒斥光明的消逝。

绝不向黑夜请安

老朽请于白日尽头涅槃

咆哮于光之消散

先哲虽败于幽暗

诗歌终不能将苍穹点燃

绝不向黑夜请安

贤者舞蹈于碧湾

为惊涛淹没的善行哭喊

咆哮于光之消散

狂者如夸父逐日

高歌中顿觉迟来的伤感

绝不向黑夜请安

逝者于临终迷幻

盲瞳怒放出流星的灿烂

咆哮于光之消散

那么您，我垂垂将死的父亲

请掬最后一捧热泪降临

请诅咒，请保佑我，祈愿绝不向

黑夜请安，咆哮于光之消散
