Marine

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CHI ENG JPN SPA

Les chars d'argent et de cuivre -
Les proues d'acier et d'argent -
Battent l'écume, -
Soulèvent les souches des ronces.
Les courants de la lande,
Et les ornières immenses du reflux,
Filent circulairement vers l'est,
Vers les piliers de la forêt,
Vers les fûts de la jetée,
Dont l'angle est heurté par des tourbillons de lumière.

海洋的

Language: Chinese (中文) after the French (Français)

銀和銅製的戰車
鋼和銀製的船首
攪動出泡沫
掀起荊棘的根
荒野的水流
和退潮時留下無邊無際的凹痕
劃著圓圈退去　向著東方
向著森林的樹幹
向著層層疊疊的海堤
角落一隅　是個強烈的漩渦……
（那是）光的漩渦
