Paroles et traduction 陳綺貞 - <失明前>我想記得的四十七件事

<失明前>我想記得的四十七件事

我想記得夏日午後的暴雨
雨的形狀
我想記得黃昏的光
光裏的灰塵在飛揚
我想記得愛人如何親吻如何擁抱
我想記得你煩躁不耐的模樣

我會想念十歲時我看到的那隻象
象的死亡
我會想念卡夫卡
照片裡他那麼倔強
我會想念所有讀過的書認得的字
我會記得時間像旋轉木馬消失

對半切開的奇異的奇異果
以及一個蘋果吃到最後剩下的蘋果核
一條發光的公路兩邊都是梧桐樹
地圖上打過記號的城市
和一顆淚般清澈的湖
睡覺以前瞥見的那隻蟑螂以及早上
睜開眼睛就看到的那張蜘蛛網
我七歲時的照片第一次迷路穿的鞋
還有到底是誰隨手關掉
整座星空讓我流下眼淚

<I Will Remember 47 Things Before I Go Blind>

I want to remember the heavy summer afternoon rain
The shape of the rain
I want to remember the twilight light
The dust in the light is flying
I want to remember how lovers kiss, how they embrace
I want to remember your irritable impatience

I will miss the elephant I saw when I was ten
The death of the elephant
I will miss Kafka
He was so stubborn in the photo
I will miss all the books I have read, the words I know
I will remember time disappearing like a carousel

Kiwifruit sliced in half, strange
And the apple eaten to the last remaining apple core
A lighted highway lined with parasol trees
The cities marked on the map
And a lake as clear as a tear
The cockroach glimpsed before falling asleep, and that morning
Opening my eyes to see the spiderweb
My photo when I was seven, the shoes I wore when lost for the first time
And who turned off
The entire starry sky, making me shed tears
