We Wear the Mask by Paul Laurence Dunbar


We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
      We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
      We wear the mask!
我们带着面具  by Paul Laurence Dunbar
翻译 高兴

我们带着面具,欢笑且自欺,
掩饰着我们的脸, 不让眼睛真情显现-
我们吞噬着人类虚伪的苦果;
脸在笑,残破的心血在滴,
张口却是不温不火的词句。

为什么要让世界如此聪明,
去数我们每一滴眼泪, 每一次叹息?
不, 让他们看到我们,
只是当我们带着面具。

我们微笑, 但, 哦, 伟大的主,
我们的呜咽从饱受折磨的心底发出,
我们在歌唱, 但脚下的土壤
是如此沦丧且漫长;
让这个世界做别样的梦去,
我们带着面具!
