越戰紀念碑

 

一截大理石牆

二十六個字母

便把這麼多年青的名字

嵌入歷史

 

萬人塚中

一個踽踽獨行的老嫗

終於找到了

她的愛子

此刻她正緊閉雙眼

用顫悠悠的手指

沿著他冰冷的額頭

找那致命的傷口

一个踽踽独行的老妪

终於找到了

此刻她正紧闭双眼

用颤悠悠的手指

沿着他冰冷的额头

找那致命的伤口

VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL

 

 

A block of marble

and twenty six letters of the alphabet

etch so many young names

onto history

 

Wandering alone

amid the mass grave

an old woman has at last found

her only child

and with her eyes tightly shut

her trembling fingers now feel

for the mortal wound

on his ice-cold forehead

MEMORIAL DÉDIÉ À LA GUERRE

DU VIETNAM

 

 

Un bloc de marbre

Et les vingt-six omeer de l'alphabet

 Pour y graver les noms de tant de jeunes

De l'histoire

 

Errant seule

Au milieu des tombes

Une vieille femme a enfin trouvé

 Celle de son fils unique

Les yeux bien clos,

Ses doigts tremblants sentent maintenant

La blessure mortelle

Sur son front glacé

 

(French translation by Athanase Vantchev de Thracy

MONUMENTO AI CADUTI  DEL VIETNAM

 

 

Un blocco di marmo

e ventisei lettere dell'alfabeto

incise così tanti giovani nomi

sulla storia

 

Vagando da solo

in mezzo alla fossa commune

alla fine una vecchia ha trovato

il suo unico figlio

e con gli occhi sterrati

le dita tremanti ora sente

la ferita mortale

sulla fronte gelata di lui

 

(Italian translation by Giovanni Campisi)
