母亲
Mother
诗/ MICHAEL JACKSON
远古之时,我已构思孕育
将化为形体,仍踌躇迟疑
从尚未显化的宇宙意识雏形
到想象而出的地球接收之地 (注)
在一个命定的八月早晨
经由妳的生命,我于焉诞生
以温柔的爱,妳将种子培育
对妳的苦痛,妳从未留意
于任何风险与危难从不挂心
这孤寂的陌生人是妳所有的考虑决定
彩虹、云朵、深邃湛蓝的天空
闪亮的鸟儿翱翔高飞
妳将我从散落碎片化为完整
从元素中,妳让我的灵魂成形
亲爱的母亲,妳给予我生命
因为妳,无需挣扎,没有抗争
妳给予我喜悦与身分
照护着我,从来无条件
这世界,倘若我曾改变
那是来自妳展露而出的情感
妳的慈悲是如此甜美而亲爱
妳最细微的感受,我能听见
我能察觉妳最微小的意念
不可思议的神奇,在妳爱的药剂里
而现在我已走得如此遥远
与每一个国王、沙皇相见
与各种肤色、信仰的人碰面
于每一种激情,每一个贪念
我归去,回到繁星满天的夜里
对于力量或势力,没有一丝恐惧
妳教导我如何站立、如何奋斗
为了每一个对与错
每一天,无需刻意掌握
我会珍惜妳铸造的所有
每一个亲吻,我都将会牢记
妳甜美的话语,我从不曾遗落
不论我从这儿去向哪里
妳永远在我心底,我亲爱的母亲
译注:这句指的是由宇宙意识想象而出的物质肉身。
Eons of time I've been gestating
To take a form been hesitating
From the unmanifest this cosmic conception
On this earth a fantastic reception
And then one fateful August morn
From your being I was born
With tender love you nurtured a seed
To your own distress you paid no heed
Unmindful of any risk and danger
You decided upon this lonely stranger
Rainbows, clouds, the deep blue sky
Glittering birds that fly on high
Out of fragments you've made my whole
From the elements you fashioned my soul
Mother dear, you gave me life
Because of you, no struggle or strife
You gave me joy and position
Cared for me without condition
And if I ever change this world
It's from the emotions you've unfurl'd
Your compassion is so sweet and dear
Your finest feelings I can hear
I can sense your faintest notion
The wondrous magic of your love potion
And now that I have come so far
Met with every king and czar
Encountered every color and creed
Of every passion, every greed
I go back to that starry night
With not a fear for muscle or might
You taught me how to stand and fight
For every single wrong and right
Every day without a hold
I will treasure what you've mold
I will remember every kiss
Your sweet words I'll never miss
No matter where I go from here
You're in my heart, my mother dear.
from the book
DANCING THE DREAM by Michael Jackson
(published 1992, by Doubleday)
