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!
