水湄居

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

狂怒了90分钟，看着爱了二十几年的阿根廷被几乎是一无是处的后防拖着腿，踉踉跄跄地被羞辱了整场，堵在喉头的一团火灼得我郁闷焦躁不已。

几乎是四年前的翻版，八进四中阿根廷的天赋遇上德意志，就分崩离析成个人表演。尽管在赛前就扬言巴西出局后再无遗憾，尽管比赛的结果更多的是预料中事，尽管从小组赛第一场开始就被烂到恐怖程度的后防惊吓到了，尽管知道本届杯赛中阿根廷的球迷不会太幸福，尽管一直以来日尔曼都是我最喜爱的民族、克林斯曼的金头发也曾是记忆中的阳光，可是，那一刻，当看到梅西那澄澈眼眸中的呆滞，我还是难过得接受不了事实。

不为别的，实在是太太太爱梅西了。

从86特立独行惊才绝艳的老马、90金发飞扬的克林斯曼、94优雅忧郁的巴乔、98一个人挑起整队的苏克、神奇门将奇拉维特、战神巴蒂斯图塔、02激情火焰般显露锋芒的劳尔、唯一喜欢过的巴西球员罗纳尔迪尼奥、到06一见钟情的梅西，我喜爱的球员挺不少。但能这样越来越迷恋以至于喜欢他多于与他有关的足球的，还只有这么一个。

喜欢他，真的已经不止是因为他恐怖的启动速度、KongFu般的极速无影脚、如入无人之境的带球过人、足以调动盘活进攻的精准传球、自信从容的临门一脚，已经不止是这些了。还因为他澄澈淳厚温煦的眼眸、天真明朗温暖的笑靥、咬衣领傻笑的孩子气、无辜甚至呆滞放空的神情、可能永远不会转会的执着、被凶狠铲倒后不发一言拍拍衣服起来继续比赛的恬淡、掌声荣誉金钱所不能改变的质朴温文敦厚。

终于明白，我会爱上的，始终是这类人，单纯的不擅言辞的，却能令我敬之如父复又怜之如子的人。

也好，2010，可以也无风雨也无晴地看球了。
