【班門弄斧、越俎代庖】鄭愁予《偈》試譯

《偈》─ 鄭愁予


不再流浪了，我不願做空間的歌者，

寧願是時間的石人。

然而，我又是宇宙的遊子，

地球你不需留我。

這土地我一方來，

將八方離去。

《Gatha》 Zheng Chou-yu

No more wander, I want to be a singer in space no longer,

I'd rather be a stone statue in time.

Yet, in the Universe I am also a wanderer,

Earth, don't bother to persuade me to stay.

This land, from one direction I embarked,

To eight directions shall I depart.
