假期听了一首好听的歌，词写得有趣，又激起了我的翻译欲。
《可能》
词、曲 : 宁缺
演唱 : 程响
“Perhaps”
Translation: Fuolao
可能南方的阳光 照着北方的风
Perhaps the sun in the south shines on the northern wind
可能时光被吹走 从此无影无踪
Perhaps time blown away can never be regained
可能故事只剩下 一个难忘的人
Perhaps every story ends with an unforgettable person
可能在昨夜梦里 依然笑得纯真
Perhaps in the dream last night we smiled real and simple
可能北京的后海 许多漂泊的魂
Perhaps Houhai in Beijing abounds in North Drifters
可能成都小酒馆 有群孤独的人
Perhaps taverns in Chengdu are full of lonely souls
可能枕边有微笑 才能暖你清晨
Perhaps only the smile on your pillow can warm your morning
可能夜空有流星 才能照你前行
Perhaps only the shooting stars will tag along your strolling
可能西安城墙上 有人誓言不分
Perhaps on the ancient wall in Xi’an someone swears “till death do you apart”
可能要去到大理 才算爱得认真
Perhaps not until you come to Dali do you know how to love with a full heart
可能谁说要陪你 牵手走完一生
Perhaps someone promised to hold your hand for life
可能笑着流出泪 某天在某时辰
Perhaps that moment made you laugh till you cried
可能桂林有渔船 为你迷茫点灯
Perhaps the fishing boats in Guilin guide you through the pain
可能在呼伦草原 牛羊流成风景
Perhaps the herds roam in the Hulun prairie with nothing to gain
可能再也找不到 愿意相信的人
Perhaps you will never find anyone to trust
可能穿越了彷徨 脚步才能坚定
Perhaps only after tottering can you stand steadfast
可能武当山道上 有人虔诚攀登
Perhaps along the trails in Mount. Wudang, someone’s devoted to climbing
可能周庄小巷里 忽然忘掉年轮
Perhaps deep in the lanes in Zhouzhuang, someone suddenly forgets the growth ring
可能要多年以后 才能看清曾经
Perhaps only after many years will the past make sense
可能在当时身边 有双温柔眼晴
Perhaps you once had the right person by your side, there and then.
可能西安城墙上 有人誓言不分
Perhaps on the ancient wall in Xi’an someone swears “till death do you apart”
可能要去到大理 才算爱得认真
Perhaps not until you come to Dali do you know how to love with a full heart
可能谁说要陪你 牵手走完一生
Perhaps someone promised to hold your hand for life
可能笑着流出泪
Perhaps that moment you laughed till you cried
可能终于有一天 刚好遇见爱情
Perhaps finally one day you bump into love
可能永远在路上 有人奋斗前行
Perhaps someone keeps walking without your luck
可能一切的可能 相信才有可能
Perhaps you need to believe everything’s possible before it comes true
可能拥有过梦想 才能叫做青春
Perhaps that’s what youth means after all those dreams fall through- pure and naive.
