重归孤独
很喜欢的一首歌,初遇是很多年前的《相聚一刻》,五代找回惣一郎后遇见响子时的背景音乐;再遇则是Ice Age3的插曲。阿根廷出局后,想起这支歌。看了不少翻译,都不喜欢,只好自己试一下。
Alone Again (Naturally) 重归孤独
Gilbert O’Sullivan
In a little while from now 或许不久之后,心就能不再酸楚
If I’m not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself 或许可以鼓起勇气从高塔一跃而下
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off 向你展示我已碎裂成齑粉的心
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it’s like when you’re shattered 从你失约那日开始,我失魂落魄
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying:”My God, that’s tough 你我之间再无交集,从此分道扬镳
She’s stood him up”
No point in us remaining 而我,顺理成章的,重归孤独
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally 仿佛还是昨日,我仍欢欣雀跃地期待着
To think that only yesterday 我愿意为之不懈努力的我们的明天
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to well wouldn’t do 但一切是那样的突如其来,不费吹灰之力
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down 可怕的现实已将我击垮,身心粉碎
Reality came around
And without so much, as a mere touch 甚至使我怀疑上帝是否真的存在
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt 是否真的会向悲苦之人施予良善及慈爱
Talk about God and His mercy
Or if He really does exist 在我最需要祂的时候,为何弃我于不顾
Why did He desert me in my hour of need
I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally 那么理所当然地,让我独自孤单
It seems to me that there are more hearts
broken in the world that can’t be mended 在我看来,这世上有着太多破碎的心
Left unattended 无法修补、无人眷顾
What do we do? 我们该怎么做?我们又能怎么做?
What do we do? 反正到最后,不过是孑然一身
Alone again, naturally
Now looking back over the years 回首过去,往事历历如昨
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died 当父亲去世时,我毫不掩饰地痛哭
Never wishing to hide the tears
At sixty-five years old 而母亲始终不能明白,为何她必须承受此生唯一挚爱离去的痛苦
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn’t understand why the only man 为何从此留给她的,只余一颗破碎不堪的心
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken 即使有我陪在身边,她也再无欢颜
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken 在她六十五岁那年,母亲也离开了我
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day 我终日哭泣,从此只剩下我孤零零一个人了
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally 殊途同归,重归孤独
