拖 - 蕭煌奇 traduction en anglais

拖

日頭啊還未浮上山
窗外又擱傳來銅罐聲
歹銅舊錫載歸車
拖過恁兜的門埕

心內有很多感謝 撿這多物件
今晚沒定耶凍擱加一塊肉
想著彼個囝仔 心肝頭就驚
東時欲行 伊毋知影嗯嗯嗯

驚你沒吃驚你畏寒 驚你歹搖晟
驚你孤單驚你沒伴 驚你甲人做歹子
驚你沒人疼 驚你心頭還沒定
驚你袂大 伊就先行

甲你作伴甲你煮吃 甲你做新 衫
甲你唱歌甲你寫名 甲你相帶去看山
甲你放心肝 甲你攬來惜命命
甲你金金看 甲你這咧惦惦留 置這

月娘啊還未沉落山
窗外又擱傳來門離聲
閃爍的天星載歸車
拖著消瘦的人影

心內有很多驚惶 若撿沒物件
厝內吃穿沒燒飽是欲 安怎
想著彼個囝仔 心肝頭就驚
東時欲行 伊毋知影 喔

驚你沒吃驚你畏寒 驚你歹搖晟
驚你孤單驚你沒伴 驚你甲人做歹子
驚你沒人疼 驚你心頭還沒定
驚你袂大 伊就先行

甲你作伴甲你煮吃 甲你做新衫
甲你唱歌甲你寫名 甲你相帶去看山
甲你放心肝 甲你攬來惜命命
甲你金金看 甲你這咧惦惦留 置這

驚你沒吃驚你畏寒 驚你歹搖晟
驚你孤單驚你沒伴 驚你甲人做歹子
驚你沒人疼 驚你心頭還沒定

Dragging

The sun has yet to rise over the mountain
Outside the window, I hear the sound of copper pots again
Bad copper and old tin are loaded onto the cart
Dragging past your doorstep

I am so grateful for finding so many items
Tonight, a piece of meat will be added to our meager dinner
Thinking of that child, my heart aches
When it's time to leave, he won't know

I fear you're hungry, cold, and struggling
I fear you're lonely, friendless, and mistreated
I fear you're unloved, uncertain, and adrift
I fear you won't grow up before I'm gone

I will be your companion, cook for you, make you new clothes
I will sing to you, write your name, take you to see the mountains
I will cherish you, hold you close, protect you
I will watch over you, keep you safe, and stay by your side

The moon has yet to set over the mountain
Outside the window, I hear the sound of a gate creaking again
Twinkling stars are loaded onto the cart
Dragging a frail figure

I am so worried that if I don't find anything,
How will we afford food and clothing?
Thinking of that child, my heart aches
When it's time to leave, he won't know

I fear you're hungry, cold, and struggling
I fear you're lonely, friendless, and mistreated
I fear you're unloved, uncertain, and adrift
I fear you won't grow up before I'm gone

I will be your companion, cook for you, make you new clothes
I will sing to you, write your name, take you to see the mountains
I will cherish you, hold you close, protect you
I will watch over you, keep you safe, and stay by your side

I fear you're hungry, cold, and struggling
I fear you're lonely, friendless, and mistreated
I fear you're unloved, uncertain, and adrift
I fear you won't grow up before I'm gone

I will be your companion, cook for you, make you new clothes
I will sing to you, write your name, take you to see the mountains
I will cherish you, hold you close, protect you
I will watch over you, keep you safe, and stay by your side
