The Postman (Il Postino), Poetry and Music SuiteI Like for You to Be ...

I like for you to be still，it is as though you were absent
我喜歡你是寂靜的，彷彿你消失了一樣
And you hear me from far away，and my voice does not touch you.
你從遠處聆聽我，我的聲音卻無法觸及你
It seems as though your eyes had flown away
好像你的雙眼已經飛離遠去
And it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth.
如同一個吻，封緘了你的嘴
As all things are filled with my soul
如同所有的事物充滿了我的靈魂
You emerge from the things, filled with my soul.
你從所有的事物中浮現，充滿了我的靈魂
You are like my soul, a butterfly of dream, and you are like the word Melancholy.
你像我的靈魂，一隻夢的蝴蝶，你如同憂鬱這個詞
I like for you to be still，and you seem far away.
我喜歡你是寂靜的，好像你已遠去
It sounds as though you were lamenting, a butterfly cooing like a dove.
你聽起來像在悲嘆，一隻如鴿悲鳴的蝴蝶
And you hear me from far away and my voice does not reach you
你從遠處聽見我，我的聲音無法觸及你
Let me come to be still in your silence.
讓我在你的沉默中安靜無聲
And let me talk to you with your silence
並且讓我借你的沉默與你說話
That is bright as a lamp,simple as a ring.
你的沉默明亮如燈，簡單如指環
You are like the night, with its stillness and constellations.
你就像黑夜，擁有寂寞與群星
Your silence is that of a star, as remote and candid.
你的沉默就是星星的沉默，遙遠而明亮
I like for you to be still, it is as though you were absent
我喜歡你是寂靜的，彷彿你消失了一樣
Distant and full of sorrow as though you had died.
遙遠而且哀傷，彷彿你已經死了
One word then,one smile,is enough.
彼時，一個字，一個微笑，已經足夠
And I am happy, happy that its not true.
而我會覺得幸福，因那不是真的而覺得幸福
