Paroles et traduction 張艾嘉 - 戲雪

戲雪

飛翔在兩萬英尺的高空 候鳥要歸鄉
並不需要堅強 或任何悲傷
就讓那日日夜夜 想不透荒謬的心事
塵封自己心中 不被發現 最神秘的地方

我請問煙塵往事 那一位歸鄉的老人
手中握的相片 那個人是誰
老先生緩緩轉身 露出了光彩的眼神
微笑對我說明 是他的抱歉

1948年我離開我最愛的人
當火車開動的時候 北方正落著蒼茫的雪
如果我知道這一別就要四41年
歲月若能從頭 我很想說 我不走

他說我長得像那年18歲愛生氣的她
要我懂得珍惜 擁有的時光
問起我 為何來到了遙遠的北方
想要知道什麼 或尋找什麼

時間並不能治療我心中的疼痛
南方的春天 說什麼 也溫暖不了我冰冷的血
年老的我如今要回到飄雪的北方
找一個理想的日子 靜靜躺在 她身旁

回去吧異鄉遊子 該到了安詳的時候
北方亙古的雪 沉默的落著
老人家傾神聆聽 風雪中汽笛的聲音
彷佛回到從前 走入漫漫的風雪

走向漫漫的風雪

Snowball Fight

Flying at an altitude of 20,000 feet, the migratory birds are returning home
No need to be strong or sad
Just let the ridiculous thoughts that I couldn't figure out day and night
Be sealed in my heart, undiscovered, the most mysterious place

I asked the dust and smoke from the past, the old man who returned home
Who is the person in the photo in his hand?
The old man turned around slowly, his eyes gleaming
He smiled and told me it was his apology

In 1948, I left the person I loved the most
When the train started to move, it was snowing heavily in the north
If I had known that this parting would last for 41 years
If I could start over, I would say, I won't leave

He said I look like her when she was 18 years old and quick to anger
He wants me to cherish the time I have
He asked me why I came to the distant north
What do I want to know or find?

Time cannot heal the pain in my heart
The spring in the south can't warm my cold blood
Now that I am old, I want to return to the snowy north
Find an ideal day and lie down quietly beside her

Go back, wanderer in a foreign land, it’s time for peace
The eternal snow in the north falls silently
The old man listens intently to the sound of the train whistle in the snowstorm
As if returning to the past, walking into the endless snowstorm

Walking into the endless snowstorm
