Текст и перевод песни 范宗沛 - 擺渡人之歌

擺渡人之歌

想你千里迢迢真是难得到
我把那一杯水酒表慰情
与你是一别无料到有两载外
害得我麼望穿双眼遥无音
曾记得面联姻缘在那松亭上
老糊涂抵暮归来向我云
说到相逢片刻九松亭
把你再三款留尔再思行
即使留住尔的身躯也留不住你心
故而未烦媒妁定婚姻
虽则姑父情份薄
倒底九松亭依我定婚姻
他总算还剩半点小良心
自从你麼南阳失去了珍珠塔
我把你南北东西到处寻
累姑娘寝食不安宁
为了你新造佛楼西园里
老夫妻半子靠谁人
假子真孙无别望
到底自家骨肉自家人
好比千朵桃花一树生
非比寻常泛泛亲
你莫把姑娘当外人

The Song of the Ferryman

It's so hard for me to see you after traveling so far
I offer this cup of wine to comfort you
I didn't expect to be separated from you for two years
It made me long for you with all my heart, but I received no word
I remember our marriage vows under the pine pavilion
Coming home at dusk, I was confused and asked you
You told me about the brief moment we met at the pine pavilion
I begged you to stay, but you insisted on leaving
Even if I could keep your body, I couldn't keep your heart
Therefore, I didn't bother with matchmakers to arrange our marriage
Even though our relationship as brother-in-law is thin
In the end, I decided to marry you under the pine pavilion
He still has a bit of conscience
Since you lost the Pearl Pagoda in Nanyang
I've searched for you everywhere, north, south, east, and west
It made me restless and sleepless
For your sake, I built a new Buddhist temple in the West Garden
What can an old couple depend on in their twilight years?
Fake son, real grandson, what's the difference?
In the end, blood is thicker than water
Like a thousand peach blossoms on one tree
This is no ordinary, casual relationship
Don't treat me like an outsider
