【绿队】【美坛蓝绿绑架争霸】向欲哥学习翻译余光中《乡愁四韵》

欲哥用音乐用英语来翻译余光中《乡愁四韵》。

我试着用七律古诗向余光中先生致敬。这首七律借用了《乡愁四韵》一诗中，反复吟唱的的长江，海棠，雪花，家信，腊梅，乡土等诗歌意象，表达漂泊在海外的游子，那说不尽的惆怅乡愁。。

 

       乡愁四韵   平水韵一先 

 

旧国家园忆去年，关山万里隔烟川。  

  

千峰云树海棠月，九曲长江风雪天。  

  

客久惭悲腊梅落，归来难寄雁信传。  

  

何时得偿还乡愿，且赋别情游子篇。

 

 

 附：欲哥的主贴原文：

 

One of my favorite song.

I still remembered that I played this song on stage when I was in university.

Played it last night again.

I miss my family, I miss home.

 余光中诗词，罗大佑1982年作曲

 英文翻译是网上找的，我感觉过于直白，相信梅雨潭的高手们肯定翻译得更好。

 

给我一瓢长江水啊长江水

酒一样的长江水

醉酒的滋味

是乡愁的滋味

给我一瓢长江水啊长江水

 

给我一张海棠红啊海棠红

血一样的海棠红

沸血的烧痛

是乡愁的烧痛

给我一张海棠红啊海棠红

 

给我一片雪花白啊雪花白

信一样的雪花白

家信的等待

是乡愁的等待

给我一片雪花白啊雪花白

 

给我一朵腊梅香啊腊梅香

母亲一样的腊梅香

母亲的芬芳

是乡土的芬芳

给我一朵腊梅香啊腊梅香

 

Give me a scoop of the Yangzi River, oh, the Yangzi

River like wine

The taste of drunkenness

Is the taste of homesickness

Give me a scoop of the Yangzi River, oh, the Yangzi

 

Give me a red hibiscus, oh, red hibiscus

Hibiscus as red as blood

The scalding pain of seething blood

Is the scalding pain of homesickness

Give me a red hibiscus, oh, red hibiscus

 

Give me a white snowflake, oh, white snowflake

Snowflake as white as a letter

To wait for a letter from home

Is to wait feeling homesick

Give me a white snowflake, oh, white snowflake

 

Give me a fragrant plum blossom, oh, plum blossom

Plum blossom as fragrant as Mother

Mother’s fragrance

Is the fragrance of my native soil

Give me a fragrant plum blossom, oh, plum blossom
