一个黑人姑娘在歌唱

作者:艾青

在那楼梯的边上,

有一个黑人姑娘,

她长得十分美丽,

一边走一边歌唱……

她心里有什么欢乐?

她唱的可是情歌?

她抱着一个婴儿,

唱的是催眠的歌。

这不是她的儿子,

也不是她的弟弟;

这是她的小主人,

她给人看管孩子;

一个是那样黑,

黑得象紫檀木;

一个是那样白,

白得象棉絮;

一个多么舒服,

却在不住地哭;

一个多么可怜,

却要唱欢乐的歌。

A BLACK GIRL IS SINGING

WR. by Aiqing

TR. by Yuanmei

At the edge of the stairs

There is a black girl

Who looks very nice

Pacing and singing...

What is the glee inside her?

Is she singing a love song?

In her arms there is a baby;

She is singing a lullaby.

It is neither her son,

Nor her younger brother,

But her little master;

She is a babysitter.

One looks so black

Like dark rosewood;

Yet the other so white

Like cotton wool.

One is so comfortable

But cries constantly;

Yet the other so poor

But sings happily.

(in Rio de Janeiro; July 17, 1954)
