西班牙記事

底下一首回想在巴賽隆納 - 那個充滿海鮮風味與可口布丁,水果酒和海風的夜晚 -

不要太認真看, 因為, 我也沒有認真寫.

Alas, what a night!
a ball by Mediterranean Sea.
Hold up high
thy glass of red wine,
take a sip
of Catalunya night;
Enjoy a dish
filled with limon-flavoured shrimp,
so that you may wait,
with a blushing face,
our main course: Seafood Rice.

And lo! hear!
the rippling waves kissing a-shore.
A golden whale dives
deep
deep
into your most romantique dream;
softly she illuminates
those white docking yachts,
and you will surmise without difficulty,
the Barcelona hospitality.

Dance - grow merry!
An Iberia waiter is incomplete
if he does not at times abandon his duty
to appreciate a passing beauty;
nor would you make a true visitor
without, to the chef's glee,
demand a re-fill of his excellent cuisine.

Come, dear se’ñors and señoras,
stroll along the beach where
spindrift fondles the sand
and handsome lads fondle their dame.
Flush not at this show of love,
for a Barcelonean is not a Barcelonean
if he does not court
with genuinity.
