思考题 Posted March 5, 2011 at 06:50 AM Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 at 06:50 AM Chinese Rock Song Translation: 阳刚旭日《春天里》 - In the Spring For an online recording of the song click HERE After a large online following this rock duo shot to fame this year on Chun Wan. This song was written by 汪峰 who immediately after the show announced to 旭日组合 that they are forbidden to sing this song again. So this song may be the first and last time it is sung, but either way, it still goes down as one of the greats. Down and gritty, this is real rock and roll. 还记得许多年前的春天........................I still remember the spring of a few years ago, 那时的我还没剪去长发........................Back when I still had not cut my hair, 没有信用卡没有她...........................When I had no credit card and no her…. 没有24小时热水的家.........................When I had a home without 24hr hot water, 可当初的我是那么快乐........................But back then I was still happy, 虽然只有一把破木吉他........................Although I only had a beaten old guitar 在街上,在桥下在田野中.......................On the street, under the bridge, in the fields, 唱着那无人问津的歌谣........................I would sing songs and know one would pay attention, 如果有一天我老无所依........................If the day comes when my time has past 请把我留在在那时光里........................Please take me back to those golden days, 如果有一天我悄然离去........................I the day comes when leave this place 请把我埋在这春天里..........................Please lay my body to rest in the spring 还记得那些寂寞的春天........................I still remember those lonely spring days, 那时的我还没留起胡须........................Back when I did not have a beard, 没有情人节没有礼物..........................No valentine and no presents 没有我那可爱的小公主........................And I did not have my cute little princess, 可我觉得一切没那么糟........................But I didn’t think that everything was too hard, 虽然我只有对爱的幻想........................Although I only had the illusion of love 在清晨在夜晚在风中..........................In the morning, during the night, in the wind, 唱着那无人问津的歌谣........................I would sing songs that no one would pay attention to, 也许有一天我老无所依........................If the day comes when my time is past, 请把我留在在那时光里........................Please take me back to those golden days, 如果有一天我悄然离去........................If the day comes when I must take my part, 请把我埋在在这春天里春天里...................Please lay my body to rest in the spring, 凝视著此刻烂漫的春天...........................NOT SURE 依然像那时温暖的模样...........................ALSO NOT SURE 我剪去长发留起了胡须...........................I cut my hair, I grew my bread, 曾经的苦痛都随风而去...........................all the sorrows of my past have gone with the wind, 可我感觉却是那么悲伤...........................But I still feel very depressed 岁月留给我更深的迷惘...........................The days given to me leave me deeply puzzled, 在这阳光明媚的春天里...........................In those bright golden rays of spring 我的眼泪忍不住的流淌...........................My eyes cannot help but to tear up, 也许有一天我老无所依...........................If the day comes when my time is past, 请把我留在在那时光里...........................Please take me back to those golden days, 如果有一天我悄然离去...........................If the day comes when it is my time to part, 请把我埋在在这春天里...........................Please lay me to rest in the spring, 如果有一天我老无所依...........................If the day comes when my time is past, 请把我留在在那时光里...........................Please take me back to those golden days, 如果有一天我悄然离去...........................If the day comes when it is my time to part, 请把我埋在在这春天里...........................Please lay me to rest in the spring, ===================================================================================================================================================== While I encourage any questions, 'quires and qualms, my hope is that rather than simple criticism, we instead make constructive suggestions with specific examples.

skylee Posted March 5, 2011 at 08:13 AM Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 at 08:13 AM They didn't sing very well in the video, did they? The first two stanzas are about the past, the third is about the present. The first two lines of the third verse - looking at this blossoming spring right now, it is just as warm as in the past. But ... And I think the last line in each stanza refers to the spring/s in the past (that/those spring/s), not the current one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabriellim Posted March 5, 2011 at 09:13 AM Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 at 09:13 AM 凝视著此刻烂漫的春天...........................NOT SURE依然像那时温暖的模样...........................ALSO NOT SURE 凝视著此刻烂漫的春天...........................looking at this romantic spring day 依然像那时温暖的模样...........................it still feels like the warm feeling from that time A quick general translation.
