WANG WEI
His name is actually
Wang Youwei.
Literally that means
King with a tail,
or Wang with a tail.
He is a poet
in today’s Xi’an.
Wang Wei is the great
Tang dynasty poet.
His grave is outside of Xi’an,
the former Tang dynasty capital Chang’an,
in a somewhat derelict factory.
The factory makes
something for spaceflight,
so it is secret,
big signs anounce that.
There is a roadside restaurant
called Wang Wei’s Grave.
It belongs to the factory.
In a galaxy far, far away,
we all sneaked in together,
to recite poetry
under the tree
that Wang Wei planted
thirteen hundred years ago
or so.
It was a great dynasty
in retrospect.
That’s why I call
Wang Youwei
Wang Wei,
I just can’t help it.

王维
维马丁
西毒何殇译
他的名字其实是
王有尾。
字面意思是
长着尾巴的国王,
或者有条尾巴的王。
他是一个诗人
在今天的西安。
王维是伟大的
唐代诗人。
他的坟墓在西安郊外,
即唐朝的都城长安,
一座有些荒废的工厂里
这家工厂制造
航天的玩意儿,
所以它是机密,
大标识明示了这一点。
有一家路边餐厅
叫“王维墓”。
它属于工厂。
在一个遥远的星系,
我们一起溜进去
读诗
在王维
大约一千三百年前
亲手栽种的
树下。
回想起来
这是一个伟大的王朝。
这就是为什么我把
王有尾叫作
王维
我就是忍不住。

汉语先锋·2021年度最佳诗歌100首|维马丁《致西毒何殇》入选理由:又是一首外国人用中文写的诗,来自奥地利诗人、翻译家维马丁。这首诗非常中国,读来竟有某种中国古典诗歌的意境。一首短短的致友诗,其中包含着多重难以名状的情绪,有对友情的怀念,有对昔日不再有的怅惘,有对时代的忧伤,有对丢失事物的缅怀,有祝福,有叹息,娓娓道来,融为一体,万般滋味,化作绕指柔。其中有妙笔,尤其扣人心弦——“在那棵树下,我们多小。”(磨铁读诗会)

AN XIDU HESHANG
Facebook sagt mir,
Du bist heute 40.
Gratuliere! Das Jahr ohne Zweifel, sagt Konfuzius.
Letztes Jahr hast du tolle Gedichte geschrieben,
und einen Roman, schaut großartig aus!
Facebook zeigt auch gleich
unser Foto zusammen
beim Grab von Wang Wei,
vor dem großen Baum.
Unter dem Baum
sind wir alle so klein!
Das war ein herrlicher Ausflug,
wir haben jeder Gedichte geschrieben.
Zwei Jahre sind vergangen,
fühlt sich an wie zehn.
Es ist eine andere Zeit.
Der Baum
steht wahrscheinlich noch dort,
wir Menschen von damals
sind noch am Leben,
aber mir kommt vor
wir haben etwas verloren,
und zwar nicht nur die Jahre.
Hoffe, Dir gehts gut!

致
西毒河殇
脸书告诉我
你今天不惑,
祝贺你!
去年你写诗非常好,
写了长篇小说,
看起来很棒!
脸书拿出来
我们当时合影,
在王维墓,
那棵大树之前
在那棵树下
我们多小!
我们都玩得很好,
都写了诗。
两年过了,
好像十年了,
时代不同了。
那棵树
估计还在,
我们几个人
大家都活着
却感觉到
失去了什么,
不只是岁月。
希望你好!

Han Yu (768-824)
PENNED DRUNK FOR SECRETARY ZHANG
Chang’an playboys‘ plates
brim with reeking meat.
No drinking poetry,
just wine in red skirts.
Full after dinner,
they buzz like mosquitoes.
My buddies and me
are stinking and free.
Translated by MW in June 2021

Wang Wei (701-761)
GRÜNER BACH
Gelber Blütenstrom, vorher grüner Bach.
Windet sich vom Berg, fünfzig Meilen durch.
Tost in Felsen drin, wird bei Föhren still.
Fließt mit Wassernuss, spiegelt Kraut und Schilf.
Am Bach ist mir leicht, am Strom werd ich ruhig.
Lass mich auf dem Stein angeln bis zum Schluss.
Übersetzt von MW im Mai 2021
青溪
王维
言入黄花川,每逐青溪水。
随山将万转,趣途无百里。
声喧乱石中,色静深松里。
漾漾泛菱荇,澄澄映葭苇。
我心素已闲,清川澹如此。
请留盘石上,垂钓将已矣。

WANG WEI’S GRAVE
Wang Wei’s Grave.
Key research zone,
No entrance!
Something with aviation.
Wang Wei up in heaven
smiles at the foreigner
who brings a child
under his tree,
the gingko he planted,
father & son hiding under their hoods,
stealing close
to his stone
to read his poetry
in language from far, far away.
Written in Chinese on April 13, 2019
on location, a factory site near Xi’an.
Translated in Mai 2019

《王维墓》
维马丁
王维墓
科研重地
禁止入内
好像跟航天有关系。
王维在天上
笑着看见
在他种的
银杏树下
有外国诗人
还带孩子
都戴上帽子
偷偷靠近,
对他的幕牌
用外语
读他的诗。

Yi Sha
Song dynasty lyrics: Qing Ping Yue
for Martin
Frost state has no temples,
but there are times to see each other.
In my country, small people keep chirping.
Beyond the skies I am finding my friends,
red maple leaves on the trails in green hills,
streams keep on flowing.
Two people born in the year of the horse:
We raise our heads, go like the wind.

Yi Sha
SONG OF VERMONT
(Tang dynasty style)
Green peaks raise blue skies,
clear brooks meet in ponds.
Maples reflected –
is this the real world?
Wang Wei walked here
to his Journey’s End.
Frost stopped in woods,
we have miles to go.
I am just a guest,
with geese flying south.
Red leaves send us off,
snowflakes greeting spring.

Yi Sha
RED LEAVES (Tang dynasty quatrain)
Have met frost, heart’s still warm.
So in this fall I meet red leaves.
Should we cover all the roads?
Like a bell I sit in Chang-An*.

*Chang-An: Today called Xi’an, capital of China through 13 dynasties. Yi Sha’s home town.
