  • Title: 约定 Artist: 王菲 Album: 玩具 Track: 02 Year: 1997

    还记得当天旅馆的门牌 Still, I remember the hotel room number of that day
    还留住笑著离开的神态 Still, I treasure up the grace of your parting smile
    当天整个城市那样轻快 That day, the city was so carefree
    沿路一起走半哩长街 Me and you, walking down a half-mile street

    还记得街灯照出一脸黄 Still, I remember how the street light dimed your face
    还燃亮那份微温的便档 And how you reheated the cold bento
    剪影的你轮廓太好看 Too beautiful is the black silhouette of your profile
    凝住眼泪才敢细看 I fear to gaze at it without hiding my tears

    忘掉天地彷佛也想不起自己 I may forget about the world and I may forget about myself
    仍未忘相约看漫天黄叶远飞 But never will I fail to remember our promise; that we would watch the yellow leaves of autumn fly away
    就算会与你分离凄绝的戏 Even though you’ll have to say goodbye, leaving me only a sad story
    要决心忘记我便记不起 I’ll never try to erase you in my memory

    明日天地只恐怕认不出自己 Someday, somewhere, I may forget my own name
    仍未忘跟你约定假如没有死 But never will I fail to remember our promise; that until Death do us apart
    就算你壮阔胸膛不敌天气 Even though your arms could no longer shut out wind and rain
    两鬓斑白都可认得你 Grey hair all over, I will still be remembering you

    还记得当天吉他的和弦 Still, I could hear the guitar chords you played that day
    还明白每段旋律的伏线 Still, I could read the sound spectrum of each melody
    当天街角流过你声线 Your singing, streaming pass the street corner
    沿路旅程如歌褪变 Brightened my way along the path

    忘掉天地彷佛也想不起自己 I may forget about the world and I may forget about myself
    仍未忘相约看漫天黄叶远飞 But never will I fail to remember our promise; that we would watch the yellow leaves of autumn fly away
    就算会与你分离凄绝的戏 Even though you’ll have to say goodbye, leaving me only a sad story
    要决心忘记我便记不起 I’ll never try to erase you in my memory

    明日天地只恐怕认不出自己 Someday, somewhere, I may forget my own name
    仍未忘跟你约定假如没有死 But never will I fail to remember our promise; that until Death do us apart就算你壮阔胸膛不敌天气 Even though your arms could no longer shut out wind and rain
    两鬓斑白都可认得你 Grey hair all over, I will still be remembering you


    就算你壮阔胸膛不敌天气 Even though your arms could no longer shut out wind and rain
    两鬓斑白都可认得你 Grey hair all over, I will still be remembering you

     

  •       这篇其实是今年年初翻译的了。我有些喜欢这歌词里女生虔诚又忧心的小心情,生怕那幸福就像列车飞驰而过,来不及掌握。对爱的话,谁又不是这样呐?当时自己心里也有些小情绪,第一次和爱的人分隔那么远,又因为二人之间的种种差异有了忐忑和不安。半年多过去了,矛盾挣扎也不断还是有着,但心中坚定的话就不会那么害怕了。
          他说,你可以optimistic一点儿。他说,我还记得你在机场送我时候的样子,我差点儿就要哭了。
         

      

    Title: 少女的祈祷 Artist: 杨千嬅 Album: Play It Loud,Kiss Me Soft Track: 02 Year: 2000

    沿途与他车厢中私奔般恋爱 It's me and he in this train, running away with our unblessed love
    再挤逼都不放开 However hard it'll be, let us be with each other
    祈求在路上没任何的阻碍 May nothing  ever again encumbers us in the way
    令愉快旅程变悲哀 May nothing  ever again glooms this happy journey 

    连气两次绿灯都过渡了 It's been green light for us till now
    与他再爱几公里 May me and he love for a few miles more
    当这盏灯转红便会别离 'Cause I know there might be a red light ahead, and we'll have to say goodbye
    凭运气决定我生死 Fate will decide for me whether it's life or death  

    祈求天地放过一双恋人 May heaven and earth spare us two lovers
    怕发生的永远别发生 May those I fear never occur
    从来未顺利遇上好景降临 But I never had any good luck
    如何能重拾信心 How could I ever be able to restore my faith 

    祈求天父做十分钟好人 May God favor me some ten-minute kindness
    赐我他的吻 By bestowing me with his kiss
    如怜悯罪人 As if it's mercy for a sinner
    我爱主 I love God
    同时亦爱一位世人 And I love this man
    祈求沿途未变心 May he never break faith along our way
    请给我护荫 God, I beg your bless, please

    为了他不懂祷告都敢祷告 I don't know how to pray, but for him I'd learn
    谁愿眷顾这种信徒 But who would hear such a believer?
    用两手遮掩双眼专心倾诉 I'd cover my eyes with my hands to confide
    宁愿答案望不到 For fear I'd see how the story ends

     

    祈求与他车厢中可抵达未来 May me and he arrive at our tomorrow
    到车毁都不放开 Even if the train crashes, let us be with each other
    无论路上历尽任何的伤害 On this journey, whatever pains we'll have to go through
    任由我决定爱不爱 Love will decide for me whether it's yes or no

    祈求天地放过一双恋人 May heaven and earth spare us two lovers
    怕发生的永远别发生 May those I fear never occur
    从来未顺利遇上好景降临 But I never had any good luck
    如何能重拾信心 How could I ever be able to restore my faith

    祈求天父做十分钟好人 May God favor me some ten-minute kindness
    赐我他的吻 By bestowing me with his kiss
    如怜悯罪人 As if it's mercy for a sinner
    我爱主 I love God
    同时亦爱一位爱人 And I love this man
    祈求沿途未变心 May he never break faith along our way
    请给我护荫 God, I beg your bless, please

    为了他不懂祷告都敢祷告 I don't know how to pray, but for him I'd learn
    谁愿眷顾这种信徒 But who would hear such a believer
    太爱他怎么想到这么恐怖 I love him so much; how could I ever expect it's so terrified
    对绿灯去哀求哭诉 That I'll have to pray on my knee and cry, hoping it's green light at the next intersection

    然而天父并未体恤好人 However, God doesn't allow for me
    到我睁开眼 Finally I open my eyes
    无明灯指引 But there's no light guiding my way
    我爱主 I love God
    为何任我身边爱人 But why did the love of my life
    离弃了我下了车 Simply got off the train, leaving me for good?
    你怎可答允 God, why you won't answer?

  •         以前在别人的博客上听到这首歌,合着一篇他对某个“十年”的缅怀。昨天想再找到那个博客,无果。依稀记得他说,“日出还是一样,不会因为谁就不升上天空;四月还是一样,不会因为谁就不翻过下一页。”他的原文比这个好。
            有时候爱让我们痛苦,但这种痛,也是活着的证明,它让我们完整,真实。可以不顾一切去爱,去受伤,是幸福的。
            另外,歌词的翻译有太多自己的理解在里面,勿怪。

    I hear your voice 你的声音 
    I touch your hair 你的发梢流过
    I see the traces 是你的踪迹 
    Everywhere 四处遍及

    This house of ours 当你不在
    We used to share 这空寂的房间
    My dream has turned 我的夜晚
    To nightmare 都成梦魇

    I sleep no more 无寐的时候
    I dream no more 没有梦
    There's nothing here 亦不再有
    To wake up for 梦醒的理由

    I talk no more 我不再诉说 
    I sing no more 不再低吟浅唱
    Don't function like 当我
    I did before 亦不再是我
    Because 只因为

    She doesn't live here anymore 这里 再没有她
    She hardly calls at all 永远也不再会有
    Now when she's gone 她走了
    I find myself lost 残留下孤独
    Staring at the wall 和眼中 四壁的深深

    I drink again 旧习惯  来找我
    I smoke again 酒精和香烟  来找我
    There's no one here 却再也没有
    To call my friend 谁  来相知

    I swear again 旧习惯  来找我
    I'm mad again 愤怒和狂躁  来找我
    So troubled since 如是的烦乱
    I don't know when 我不知始从何时
    Because 只因为

    She doesn't live here anymore 这里 再没有她
    She hardly calls at all 永远也不再会有
    Now when she's gone 她走了
    I find myself lost 残留下孤独
    Staring at the wall 和眼中 四壁的深深

    She doesn't live here anymore 这里 再没有她
    She hardly calls at all 永远也不再会有
    Since she's been gone 她走了
    There's nobody here 亦再无人
    To catch me when I fall 于沉沦时 紧拉我手

          很久没有听过新的乐队新的歌,因为要给人推荐内地的摇滚乐,所以邂逅到这首,立即被感动。歌里面有我最喜欢的那种吉他的声音,好像是布鲁斯琴的声音,就是那种很清亮但是也很悲的琴弦的声音。我喜欢的很多歌里边儿都有,比如木马的《纯洁》,还有The Strokes 的很多首。

          原来只是觉得歌好听,没注意歌词,后来看到,觉得有所指,翻译下来,很喜欢。特别是那句“优美的低于生活”,我也喜欢自己的翻译“都单纯的低于生活” be artlessly humble to the existence of being。要顺利地活下去,有时候总要低下头,总是要放弃一点儿心里面的小念头,小想法,不管是歌声、曾经想走下去的路、想飞的梦……通通还给该还的去处,剩下该剩下的,在生活面前学乖,踏实做事,老实做人。可是啊,“只有内心远过空旷,梦到了丰饶的草原”……

          所以译这首的时候我有点儿想哭。

    Title: 优美的低于生活 Artist: 声音碎片 Album: 优美的低于生活 Track: 01 Year: 2005 

    把歌声还给夜晚 My songs; I'll return them to the night
    把道路还给尽头 The paths; I'll return them to the end
    把果实还给种子 The fruit; I'll return it to the seed
    把飞翔还给天空 And the wings; I'll return it to the above

    剩下的,让它们美好 Those remianed; let them be beautiful
    从容地,埋藏得更深 And be carefully buried, in the profundity
    最后让这纷乱的一切 At last, let all these chaos
    都单纯的低于生活 Be artlessly humble to the existence of being

    只有内心远过空旷 Only your heart stays far; further than the hollowness
    梦到了丰饶的草原 Dreaming about a plentiful grassland

    相爱吧,终有一散的人们 Be brave to love, despite a fated farewell
    你失去的不过是童贞 All you'll lose is but the virginity
    等时光用尽了青春 When time runs out of your youth
    你早已优美地在大街上溶化 You'll only be dissolved, gracefully in the street

    只有内心远过空旷 Only your heart stays far; further than the hollowness
    梦到了丰饶的草原 Dreaming about a plentiful grassland

    只有内心远过空旷 Only your heart stays far; further than the hollowness
    梦到了丰饶的草原 Dreaming about a plentiful grassland

  •       和《小巷》一样,都是写那个年代的人,充满理想又全无去处的状态。周围是黑的,眼睛也是黑的,可是谁又不渴望光明呢?那“一代人”,社会没有给他们机会,连自己是组成那个社会的一部分,外因内因,双重限制。这首诗也只是描述了那个状态,走出诗的国度,面对现实,又还是束手无策。所以说“艺术家提出问题,政治家解决问题”呢!

    Title: 一代人 Poet: 顾城 Year: 1979


    一代人 This Generation

    黑夜给了我黑色的眼睛 Dark fated my eyes black
    我却用它寻找光明 With which I seek for the bright

  •       1980年,大病初愈万物复苏。许多人的理想和梦,睡了好久以后怯生生地醒来。他们怀揣着那把古旧的钥匙,去叩周遭的厚墙,但哪儿也没有门,哪儿也没有窗。抬头一看那狭窄的小径,一样的,又弯又长。

          今天的青年,是不是有钥匙又有门和窗?

    Title: 小巷 Poet: 顾城 Year: 1980


    小巷 The Alley

    小巷 The endless, winding
    又弯又长 Alley

    没有门 No way out
    没有窗 Nor window

    我拿把旧钥匙 With a rusty key
    敲着厚厚的墙 I knock on the thick walls

          这首译了有小段时间了,之前一直没发出来,因为对这首有点特别的感情在里面,所以总想等到一个合适的时间……我第一次听这首,应该是在98年吧,在成都电视台上看了MTV。奇怪的是,今年才知道这首当年被禁了(自己却还是有幸听到),而且艾敬在采访中曾经说道:“经过修改后,歌曲终于收录在精选专辑中。那时候因为歌词遭禁给我的事业带来致命的打击。虽然沉寂多年,但是我对音乐的信念没变。我找到了作为一个中国人的骄傲,这首《Made In China》是经得起考验的真诚作品。”刘卓辉也在博客里面公开说,他觉得《Made In China》是可以超越《我的1997》的作品。现在解禁,也算好事吧。

         之所以被禁,我想应该是这两句吧:“母亲啊 我不能选择 尽管你还是不够好/ 我不愿做你的逃兵可我注定成不了/英雄 我不想牺牲 ”。可这几句,正是真真正正的大实话。我会特别喜欢这首歌,也正是因为这几句——你只会听到她满满的一腔真诚和热爱,帮你喊出了心里那个不停挣扎的声音。这是一种神圣但是孱弱的声音。类似的句子还有艾青的诗: “为什么我的眼里常含泪水?/因为我对这土地爱得深沉……”

          98年那版的CD封面以前在网上看到过图片,但是找不到了,只能贴2000年那个精选集的封面了。

    Title: Made In China Artist: 艾敬 Album: Made In China Track: ?? Year: 1998 

    I'm made in China 很多人来过中国 我是中国人 Many have been to China

    I'm made in China 中国地方辽阔辽阔 我是中国人 "It's a big big nation."

    I'm made in China 他们说中国进步了 我是中国人 "But," they say, "it's developing."
    进步了 进步了 进步了 "It's developing and developing."
     
    我在这里成长生活 I grew up and lived in this land
    理想被现实猛烈的撕扯 Where the everyday things tormented my aspiration
    当我离开这里回头看看 But when I thought back, in a foreign land
    我才发现原来我很爱国 I learnt how patriotic I am
    我爱你 中国 I love you, The People's Republic of China!
    我爱你 中国 I love you, The People's Republic of China!
     
    母亲啊 我不能选择 尽管你还是不够好 Oh, flawed as you are, still no one chooses his motherland
    我不愿做你的逃兵可我注定成不了 I don't wanna be a deserter; yet, it's not for me
    英雄 我不想牺牲 To be the hero, 'cause I dare not sacrifice
    英雄 我不想牺牲 To be the hero, 'cause I dare not sacrifice
      
    I'm made in China 传统的观念不要束缚我 我是中国人 Let tradition be no bondage
    I'm made in China 历史的沉重也不敢忽略 我是中国人 Let history weighs on me

    I'm made in China 在我的眼里有一个真实的世界 我是中国人 I see a whole true world
    真实的 真实的 真实的 真实的 世界 A whole true, a whole true, a whole true world
      
    I'm made in China 在我的眼里有一个新的世界 我是中国人 I see a new world in my eye
    于是我呼唤 So I have to call out
    I'm made in China 在我的眼里有一个真实的世界 我是中国人 I see a whole true world
    于是我告诉你她的颜色 So let me show you her true color
     
    她的颜色 Her true color
    她的颜色 Her true color
    她的颜色 Her true color
    她的颜色 Her true color
    她的颜色 Her true color

            2001年《草莓声明》的最后一首,前段时间拿出来听,竟然还是很感动,特别是歌词。一开始的花儿,我还是很喜欢的,《幸福的旁边》《平安夜》,高中时候黑暗的日子里听他们的歌有一点同龄人的共鸣。《草莓声明》是自己买来听的花儿的最后一张,不知道这一张里面有没有被发现某一首是属于抄袭,如果是,只能无奈。

             因为听过他们以前的歌,知道他们以前的样子,所以现在还是相信他们本性不算坏。可能还是环境原因吧,我还是相信他们一定是奔着理想来的……《泡沫》是《草莓声明》里面我最喜欢的一首。其实,仔细听听,看看歌词,会有点明白大张伟。人一开始总是看着“远方”,心里有许多梦,许多幻想,可是不知道为什么,它们终于都变成泡沫,飘走了,融化了。

            因为即使这世界有最美的光,却不是为我闪耀;即使我们都曾有最真的梦,却不能为它坚持。所以装傻吧,就这样混下去,蒙下去。不知道骗的是别人还是自己。

            补充一下。自己感觉,花儿不算不红,可是我竟然找不到《泡沫》的下载——只能自己拿CD弄到电脑上再上传……倒是《嘻唰唰》唾手可得。这个世界真是怎么了?

    Title: 泡沫 Artist: 花儿乐队 Album: 草莓声明 Track: 15 Year: 2001

    我点燃那盏灯火 Lightening the lantern
    向远方凝望着 I look into the far
    空气都打开了 In a splited atmosphere
    记忆随风散落 Gone, memories, with the wind

    幻想美好的时刻 Imaging all the good time
    没有完美结果 Imperfectly in vain
    红色夕阳下落 All that's left is a setting sun
    黯淡的云朵 In the eve's dark cloudy gloom

    憧憬像飘浮的泡沫 Longing is like the floating spume
    光映出灿烂的颜色 Reflecting every shining hue
    可却没有照到我  But it doesn't shine for me
    全世界的雨打到我 All the rain on earth pour in shower
    我的梦早已湿透了 With all my dreams sopped in water
    瞬间被淹没 Drowning such-and-such swiftly
