月光寶盒 - 何韻詩 traduction en anglais

月光寶盒

藏有兩歲跌破額頭 代我發洩眼每滴眼淚
突然地發現 十年未灑過淚
藏有八歲每晚練琴 令我奮鬥的那份興趣
成熟了被麻醉 忘掉了指甲極敏銳

景致逝去 這個盒每天風化下去
將美好記憶都散落到身體脊髓 化做流水

總要 容納各樣痛楚至算得存在過
總要 至少試過分開至算迷戀過
病症和苦惱都感染過 才真正活過

嘗試計算再過十年 大概老了會變做那樣
做沉悶鐵匠 淡忘昨天偶像
時間過去再過廿年 就算壓碎多偉大信仰
潮汐退又潮漲 航道也未隨便退讓

七八十歲 講理想也不感到異相
一個盒這麼小 那樣能夠裝起志向 有礙成長

總要 容納各樣痛楚至算得存在過
總要 至少試過分開至算迷戀過
沒有和擁有都感染過 才真正活過

總要 容納各樣痛楚至算得存在過
總要 至少試過分開至算迷戀過
內咎和失意都鞭策我 時光裏走過

相這 時代記錄世間有我 走過
相這 我的痛癢 都幫過我成長
木制盒 在我手 幫我成長過

Moonlight Treasure Box

Holds the memory of my two-year-old self, forehead scraped, each tear a release.
Suddenly I realize, ten years have passed without a single tear.
Holds the eight-year-old me, practicing piano nightly, fueling my striving spirit.
Grown up now, numbed, forgotten the once sensitive fingertips.

Scenes fade, this box weathers a little more each day.
Beautiful memories scatter down my spine, turning into flowing streams.

Must embrace every pain to truly feel alive.
Must experience at least one separation to know the meaning of infatuation.
Sickness and suffering, once experienced, make life real.

I try to imagine myself ten years from now, probably old and changed.
A dull blacksmith, forgetting yesterday's idols.
Time passes, another twenty years, even if the greatest faith is crushed.
Tides ebb and flow, the channel never yields.

Seventy, eighty years old, speaking of dreams won't seem strange.
A box so small, how can it hold aspirations? It hinders growth.

Must embrace every pain to truly feel alive.
Must experience at least one separation to know the meaning of infatuation.
Having and losing, once experienced, make life real.

Must embrace every pain to truly feel alive.
Must experience at least one separation to know the meaning of infatuation.
Guilt and disappointment spur me on, through the passage of time.

Imagine, this era records my existence, my journey.
Imagine, my joys and sorrows, all contribute to my growth.
This wooden box, in my hand, has helped me grow.
