《自由》
 
Rabindranath Tagore拉宾德拉纳特·泰戈尔
 
Freedom from fear is the freedom
从恐惧中解放
I claim for you my motherland
我要为我祖国争取得自由
Freedom from the burden of the ages, bending your head
从古老的枷锁中把你的头颅抬起
breaking your back, blinding your eyes to the beckoning
让你不再为往昔的重负而弯腰
call of the future
向未来发出动人的呼唤
Freedom from the shackles of slumber wherewith
卸下睡梦的镣铐
you fasten yourself in night’s stillness
告别你用来束缚自己的寂静监牢
mistrusting the star that speaks of truth’s adventurous paths
不盲从启明星的指引, 踏上谈论真理的冒险之路
freedom from the anarchy of destiny
从命运的混乱中脱身
whole sails are weakly yielded to the blind uncertain winds
所有的船帆都被盲目的风随意摆弄
and the helm to a hand ever rigid and cold as death
手中的舵，从未如此僵硬、冰冷，接近死亡
Freedom from the insult of dwelling in a puppet’s world
拒绝来自傀儡世界的屈辱
where movements are started through brainless wires
在那里，无脑机器已开始
repeated through mindless habits
重复运作
where figures wait with patience and obedience for the master of show
在那里，人们克制的等待，顺从主人的表演
to be stirred into a mimicry of life
卷入按部就班的人生
