第1555期：任素汐《王招君》佛老英译
昨天偶然听到任素汐的这首歌《王招君》，一下子就被击中了。
仔细读了歌词，连续听了十几遍，推敲了一晚上，觉得只有用翻译才能表达我对这位才女和这首歌的喜欢了。
曲子很棒，唱得很棒，歌词尤其出众，在当下一片狼藉的文化沙漠中。十分意识流的词句，很难准确把握那个故事和心境，以下翻译很不成熟，仅作为习作记录吧。
《王招君》
（作词、作曲、演唱：任素汐）
“I didn’t mean to lie to you”
(translated by: Fuolao)
我可以推开过往
我多能撒谎
谁能推开过往
局是局的局
庄是庄的庄
听无常 胡坦荡
生是生的生
忘是忘的忘
不打量 别打量
How ordinary am I
How well did I lie
I can push the past behind
That no one else can
Who set up the set-up?
Who hosted the host?
How odd and absurd
How come I’m not fettered?
Live and let live
Let live like you let it
Just don’t look around; oh, please don’t
look up and down.
你看花儿多红啊
笑话一般 散落地上
你看世间朗朗有光照
留了树荫送我乘凉
你看你拉住我的模样
你别慌张 你如此慌张
你看十里繁华长街长
看满荒唐写纸上
Look – how red is the flower
Like a joke scattered around
Fluttering on the ground
Look – how bright is the world
But there are still trees
Shading me from the heat and the sun
Look at you – when you hold my hand
How flurried are you, but what’s the hurry?
Look at the street – busy and long.
Folly and vanity – writ large but wrong.
有多狂妄
敢去走过的地方
敢无事一样
捡起路过的月亮
鱼是鱼的鱼
光是光的光
都无常 都坦荡
生是生的生
忘是忘的忘
不打量 别打量
That I dare to go where I want
I pick up the moonshine on the way
I keep nothing at bay
Oh, give the fish to the fish it belongs
Let the moon shed light in its own light
Life fleets, so let’s not cheat.
Live and let live
Let live like you let it
Just don’t look around; oh, please don’t
look up and down.
你看花儿多红啊
笑话一般 散落地上
你看世间朗朗有光照
留了树荫送我乘凉
你看你拉住我的模样
你别慌张 你如此慌张
你看十里繁华长街长
看满荒唐写纸上
Look – how red is the flower
Like a joke scattered around
Fluttering on the ground
But there are still trees
Shading you from the heat and the sun
Look at you – when you hold my hand
How flurried but what’s the hurry?
Look at the street – busy and long.
Folly and vanity – writ large but wrong.
你看花儿多红啊
笑话一样 散落地上
你看世间朗朗有光照
留了树荫送我乘凉
你看我盼着你的模样
我没假装 我不会假装
你看十里繁华长街长
看满荒唐写纸上
都无常 谁坦荡
不打量 别打量
Look – how red is the flower
Like a joke scattered around
Fluttering on the ground
Look – how bright is the world
But there are still trees
Shading you from the heat and the sun
Oh how I long for you
I didn’t pretend – that I can’t.
Look at the street – busy and long.
Folly and vanity – writ large but wrong
Just don’t look around; oh, please don’t
look up and down.
[THE END]
