失眠

[广东]苏菲

失眠


月光透过天窗
撒了一地……

不知是两杯咖啡的威力
还是黄昏的小憩

夜已深沉
一年的旧事如滔滔江水
奔涌而来

似乎有惊涛骇浪
拍打着我的窗

思维在枕上辗转
却无法预知下一刻
梦将游向何方

Sleeplessness


Moonlight through the window

Is spreading on the ground...

I don't know it’s the power of two cups of coffee

Or an evening nap

It’s in deep night

A year’s old story as if a surging river

That rushes towards me

It seems like the stormy seas

which Is flapping on my window

Though my mind is tossing on the pillow

I can not predict the next moment

Where my dream will swim to

Sleeplessness

Through the trapdoor moonlight spreads
All over the floor...

I wonder whether it's the power of
Two cups of coffee, or
A nap at nightfall

Deep down in night,
Bygones of the year run over me
Like the roaring river

It seems there were surging waves
Flapping my window

I had thoughts tossing and turning on pillow
Yet still, I was unable to predict that, next moment
Where will my dream swim toward




一时兴起，英译了一首。多多指教。

Insomnia


Moonlight through the skylight
Scatters over the floor…

I am not aware that if it’s the energy
Of two cups of coffee
Or a nap at dusk

It’s in the midnight
All things of the past year surge toward me
Like roaring torrents

It seems as if a violent storm
Slapped my window

My thought is flipping on the pillow
Yet I can’t foretell, the next moment
Where my dream will drift
