吉檀迦利 第三章

孙祎卓

When thou commandest me to sing it seems that my heart would break with pride; and I look to thy face, and tears come to my eyes.

All that is harsh and dissonant in my life melts into one sweet harmony---and my adoration spreads wings like a glad bird on its flight across the sea.

I know thou takest pleasure in my singing. I know that only as a singer I come before thy presence.

I touch by the edge of the far-spreading wing of my song thy feet which I could never aspire to reach.

Drunk with the joy of singing I forget myself and call thee friend who art my lord.

当你命令我歌唱的时候，我的心似乎要因着骄傲而炸裂，我仰望着你的脸，眼泪涌上我的眼眶里．

我生命中的一切凝涩与矛盾融化成一片甜柔的谐音――我的赞颂像一只欢乐的鸟，振翼飞越海洋．

我知道你欢喜我的歌唱．我知道只因为我是个歌者，才能走到你的面前．

我用我的歌曲的远伸的翅梢，触到了你的双脚，那是我从来不敢想望触到的．

在歌唱中的陶醉，我忘了自己，你本是我的主人，我却称你为朋友．
