GITANJALI吉檀迦利
by Rabindranath tagore
35.
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action---
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
在那里，心是无畏的，头也抬得高昂；
在那里，知识是自由的；
在那里，世界还没有被狭小的家国的墙隔成片段；
在那里，话是从真理的深处说出；
在那里，不懈的努力向着“完美”伸臂；
在那里，理智的清泉没有沉没在积习的荒漠之中；
在那里，心灵是受你的指引，走向那不断放宽的思想与行为－－进入那自由的天国，
我的父呵，让我的国家觉醒起来罢。 |
