All Day I Hear the Noise of Waters

James Joyce

All day I hear the noise of waters
Making moan,
Sad as the sea-bird is when, going
Forth alone,
He hears the winds cry to the water's
Monotone.

The grey winds, the cold winds are blowing
Where I go.
I hear the noise of many waters
Far below.
All day, all night, I hear them flowing
To and fro.

我终日聆听水声——詹姆斯·乔伊斯

我终日聆听水声
呜咽作响，
一如海鸟，孤身赴远
那般悲伤，
它听着天风向海水哭诉
一次次重复。

在我路途的终章
冷风沉郁，鼓动
水浪深潜重洋
水声抵达我身旁
终日竟夜，我聆听波流回荡
来来往往。
