在整个城市,我只记得一个偶遇的女人

万头攒动火树银花之处不必找我。如欲相见,我在各种悲喜交集处,能做的只是长途跋涉的归真返璞。——木心

The thing never now, were you
You're gone and I won't see you anymore
You left my love on the run
And said that you were leaving

And you won't come home again
And you won't come home again

And I'll miss you like you're dead
But I never got to grieve you
Cause I saw you
In the arms of someone else

So your phantom follows me
Like a child would his mother
Or a lover who never said goodbye
It's only saying goodbye

And I cry myself to sleep
And you thought I was happy
I was lonely
Had nowhere to go

And I heard that you moved on
Found a brand new family
And changed your married name
And everything has changed

And I'll miss you like you're dead
And find a way to grieve you
Cause I need to
Try and start again

And your ghost will have to leave
Like a child would his mother
Or a lover
Who has to say goodbye
It's always say goodbye ...

有一次我经过一座人口众多的城市

作者 / [美国] 沃尔特·惠特曼
翻译 / 徐鹤林

有一次我经过一座人口众多的城市,头脑里为将来记下了
它的场面、它的建筑、它的风土人情、它的传统。
但是现在,对整个城市我只记得一位我偶然遇到的女人,
因为爱而记住了她。
日复一日夜复一夜我们都在一起——其他的
我早已遗忘多时。
我肯定,我只记住这个热情地投入我怀抱的女人。
我们又一次漫步四方,我们相爱,我们又一次分离。
她又一次牵着我的手,我不应该离去。
我看见她在我身边,痛苦和颤抖,双唇无言。

老鬼去过很多城市,而记住一个城市,往往是因为人。城市的味道,就是他们的味道。你说呢?
