Carlo的飛行日記

[Cinderella]

The prince leans to the girl in scarlet heels,
Her green eyes slant, hair flaring in a fan
Of silver as the rondo slows; now reels
Begin on tilted violins to span


The whole revolving tall glass palace hall
Where guests slide gliding into light like wine;
Rose candles flicker on the lilac wall
Reflecting in a million flagons' shine,

And glided couples all in whirling trance
Follow holiday revel begun long since,
Until near twelve the strange girl all at once
Guilt-stricken halts, pales, clings to the prince

As amid the hectic music and cocktail talk
She hears the caustic ticking of the clock.

迴旋舞慢下來時，王子貼近那紅鞋女孩，
她碧綠雙眼斜瞟，髮絲如銀扇開展；
頃刻間舞曲又開始迴旋，
在傾斜的小提琴間連綿著。

宏偉的水晶皇宮整個轉動起來，
嘉賓們流暢地進入燈光下如酒之頃瀉；
玫瑰燭光搖曳於紫丁香色的宮牆，
在百萬個玻璃瓶上輝耀著。

金色的佳偶們全沉醉在迴旋中，
節慶的狂歡隨之展開，
直至夜央這位生面孔的姑娘，
突然警醒、臉色蒼白、緊緊依偎著王子。

繁絃急管之際、觥斛酬唱之間
她聽見時鐘苛刻的滴答聲。
