吉檀迦利 第七章

孙祎卓

My song has put off her adornments. She has no pride of dress and decoration. Ornaments would mar our union; they would come between thee and me; their jingling would drown thy whispers.

My poet’s vanity dies in shame before thy sight. O master poet, I have sat down at thy feet. Only let me make my life simple and straight, like a flute of reed for thee to fill with music.

我的歌曲把她的妆饰卸掉．她没有了衣饰的骄奢．妆饰会成为我们合一之玷：它们会横阻在我们之间，它们丁当的声音会掩没了你的细语．

我的诗人的虚荣心，在你的容光中羞死．呵，诗圣，我已拜倒在你的脚前．只让我的生命简单正直像一枝苇笛，让你来吹出音乐．
