赏深细味 夕昼共渡
To the Common Dark Luke Thompson
On a Slow Boat to China - Luke Thompson

村上春树短篇《开往中国的慢船》,开头引用了一段歌词,翻译成中文大概是这样:

很想让你坐上 

去中国的小船, 

只坐你我两人, 

船儿永远不还

而Luke Thompson的《On A Slow Boat To China》在虾米上面的翻译则气势恢宏,大气横生,写出了另外一种感觉,“长桅如雾,帆声如鼓,乘风破浪奔赴新世界。”其实听这首歌的曲调,倒更像是一种过尽千帆的开阔与坦然。悠扬的曲调,Luke Thompson淡然的声线讲诉着一个美丽的故事。


歌词:


I was young when I set out

I can hardly remember

Oh the tales that I could tell you

If I only could remember

And the fog it is drumming

And the new world is coming

Oh this song I will be humming

When the words wont come out


On a slow boat to China

I will be, I will be

In the sea, when we get there

We will see what will be

On a slow boat to China

I will be, I will be

We will see when we get there

What will be


Now I’m old I am weathered

my beard is long and white

I have seen many crawling winters

on this sleepy ark

still we go for our fathers

and we go for the lost

still we go ever on

into the common dark
