One's-Self I Sing

One's-Self I sing, a simple separate person,

Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-Masse.

Of physiology from top to toe I sing,

Not physiognomy alone nor brain alone is worthy for the Muse, I say the Form complete is worthier far,

The Female equally with the Male I sing.

Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power,

Cheerful, for freest action form'd under the laws divine,

The Modern Man I sing.

我歌唱“自己” 

我歌唱“自己”,一个单一的、脱离的人,

然而也说出“民主”这个词,“全体”这个词。

我从头到脚歌唱生理学,

值得献给诗神的不只是相貌或头脑,我是说整个结构的价值要大得多,

女性和男性我同样歌唱。

歌唱饱含热情、脉搏和力量的广阔“生活”,

心情愉快,支持那些神圣法则指导下形成的、最自由的行动,

我歌唱“现代人”。

I Hear America Singing

I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,

Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong,

The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,

The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work,

The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck,

The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands,

The wood-cutter's song, the ploughboy's on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown,

The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing,

Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else,

The day what belongs to the day—at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,

Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.

我听见美利坚在歌唱

我听见美利坚在歌唱,我听见各种不同的欢歌,

机械工的欢歌,每人按照着自己的心情歌唱,快乐而健壮,

木工在裁量他的木板或横梁时唱着他的歌,

瓦工在准备上工或歇工时唱着他的歌,

船夫唱着他船上自己所有的一切,舱面水手在轮船的甲板上歌唱,

鞋匠坐在他的板凳上歌唱,帽匠站着歌唱,

伐木工人唱的歌,农家子在早晨上工、正午休息、太阳西下时唱的歌,

母亲的甜润歌声,年青的妻子工作时、少女在缝补或浆洗时的歌声,

每个人唱着属于他或她个人而并非属于旁人的歌曲,

白天唱着白天的事情——晚上是成群的小伙子,健康,友善,

放开喉咙唱着他们有力度而声调优美的歌曲。
