我想和你一起生活

| 我想和你一起生活

   茨维塔耶娃

   我想和你一起生活

   在某个小镇，

   共享无尽的黄昏

   和绵绵不绝的钟声。

   在这个小镇的旅店里——

   古老时钟敲出的

   微弱响声

   像时间轻轻滴落。

   有时候，在黄昏，自顶楼某个房间传来

   笛声，

   吹笛者倚著窗牖，

   而窗口大朵郁金香。

   此刻你若不爱我，我也不会在意。

   在房间中央，一个磁砖砌成的炉子，

   每一块磁砖上画著一幅画：

   一颗心，一艘帆船，一朵玫瑰。

   而自我们唯一的窗户张望，

   雪，雪，雪。

   你会躺成我喜欢的姿势：慵懒，

   淡然，冷漠。

   一两回点燃火柴的

   刺耳声。

   你香烟的火苗由旺转弱，

   烟的末梢颤抖著，颤抖著

   短小灰白的烟蒂——连灰烬

   你都懒得弹落——

   香烟遂飞舞进火中。

| I’d Like to Live with You

  by Marina Tsvetaeva

I’d like to live with You

In a small town,

Where there are eternal twilights

And eternal bells.

And in a small village inn—

The faint chime

Of ancient clocks—like droplets of time.

And sometimes, in the evenings, 

from somegarret—

A flute,

And the flautist himself in the window.

And big tulips in the window-sills.

And maybe, You would not even love me…

In the middle of the room—

a huge tiled oven,

On each tile—a small picture:

A rose—a heart—a ship—

And in the one window—

Snow, snow, snow.

You would lie—thus I love You: idle,

Indifferent, carefree.

Now and then the sharp strike

Of a match.

The cigarette glows and burns down,

And trembles for a long,

long time on its edge

In a gray brief pillar—of ash.

You’re too lazy even to flick it—

And the whole cigarette flies into the fire.
