那一天(歌，詞，英譯(轉))

昨日半夜3點多又醒來，輾轉反側，不知為何想起那首歌“那一天”，就索性拿起枕邊的iPad，查了查詞，有人說是倉央嘉措寫的，有人說不是的。無意中打開一個鏈接，看到歌詞，還有英文的翻譯，覺得不錯，想著等天明後再讀讀，就留了那頁在那兒，然後睡了回去。早晨醒來，想起了，拿起iPad，發現那頁的歌詞在，英文卻不見了。難道我做夢，夢遊啊？絕對不是。不甘心地重新搜索，卻怎麽也找不回來。然後卻意外發現了新浪博客一個叫“北美長風”人的博客，裏麵的譯文眾多，隻匆匆掃了掃，已經讓我自慚形穢。沒經人同意，抄載如下(Version1)，附其博客，以示出處，希望他不介意的。

版本1:

　　

那一天

閉目在經殿的香霧中 

驀然聽見 

你誦經的真言

　　

那一夜

我聽了一宿梵唱 

不為參悟 

隻為尋你的一絲氣息

　　

那一月

我轉過所有經輪 

不為超度 

隻為觸摸你的指紋

　　

那一年

我磕長頭擁抱塵埃 

不為朝佛 

隻為貼著了你的溫暖

 

那一世

我翻遍十萬大山 

不為修來世 

隻為路中能與你相遇

　

那一瞬

我飛升成仙 

不為長生 

隻為佑你平安喜樂

 

Once for a Whole Day

Authored By: Cang Yang Jia Cuo

Translated by: Long Wind

 

Once for a whole day

in a temple with burning incense I meditated

suddenly I seemed to hear

the resonance of your recitation in my ear

 

Once for a whole eve

I listened to the soulful chant in relief

not for enlightment in quest

but to feel your living breath

 

Once for a whole month

I turned all prayer wheels in earnest

not for repenting sins

but to touch your fingerprints

 

Once for a whole year

on all fours to dust I came near

not for worshipping gods

but to feel your warmth in love

 

Once for a whole life

I journeyed through ten thousand spires

not for rebirth to complete

but to meet you in destiny

 

Once in a split second

I may ascend as a spirit

not for eternity

but to bless with joy and security

還有這個版本，從別處看到的：
　　那一刻我升起風馬旗，不為祈福，隻為守候你的到來
        The moment I raised the wind-horse flags
                     it is not for the blessings
                     but just for your coming

　　那一日壘起瑪尼堆，不為修福，隻為投下心湖的石子
        The day I piled up the mani stones
                  it is not for accumulating merits
                   but just for those cast into the pool of your heart

　　那一月我搖動所有的經筒，不為超度，隻為觸摸你的指紋
       The month I spinned all the prayer wheels
                  it is not for releasing souls
                  but just for touching the fingerprints you left

　　那一年磕長頭在山路，不為覲見，隻為貼著你的溫暖
       The year I prostrated on the mountain roads
                it is not for going on a pilgrimage
                but just for staying close to your warmth

　　這一世轉山，不為輪回，隻為途中與你相見
      The lifetime I walked around the mountains
                 it is not for samsara
                 but just for meeting you on the way

　　那一天閉目在經殿香霧中，驀然聽見你誦經中的真言
       The day I was in the hall with eyes closed and incense smoke around
                      I heard the mantras
                      while you're saying your prayers

　　那一月我搖動所有的經筒，不為超度，隻為觸摸你的指紋
       The month I spinned all the prayer wheels
                  it is not for releasing souls
                  but just for touching the fingerprints you left

 

　　那一年磕長頭在山路，不為覲見，隻為貼著你的溫暖
       The year I prostrated on the mountain roads
                it is not for going on a pilgrimage
                but just for staying close to your warmth

　　這一世轉山，不為輪回，隻為途中與你相見
      The lifetime I walked around the mountains
                 it is not for samsara
                 but just for meeting you on the way

　　那一夜我聽了一宿梵唱，不為參悟，隻為尋你的一絲氣息
       The night I listened to a night long sutras chanting
                   it is not for the understanding of dhyana
                   but just for a sign of your breathing

　　那一月我搖動所有的經筒，不為超度，隻為觸摸你的指紋
       The month I spinned all the prayer wheels
                  it is not for releasing souls
                  but just for touching the fingerprints you left

　　那一年磕長頭在山路，不為覲見，隻為貼著你的溫暖
       The year I prostrated on the mountain roads
                it is not for going on a pilgrimage
                but just for staying close to your warmth

　　那一世我翻遍十萬大山，不為修來世，隻為佑你喜樂平安
        The lifetime I covered ten thousands mountains
                     it is not for samsara
                      but just for blessing you safe, well and delighted

我以前讀的是第二個版本，很喜歡，兩翻譯都很專業！歌唱得真好！

[暖冬cool夏]

回複“思韻”：同意你說的，第二個譯得更準確些(但總覺得fingerprint 後麵加上的，you left有點破壞了sth)，而且第一版本裏”once in a..."好像意思有點出入，削弱了詩歌所表達的感情。不過，肯定都比我自己譯要好很多。半夜看到的版本好像也不錯，就是找不回來了，或許就是因為找不回來，才覺得丟失的總是好的。謝謝思韻的意見和留言。

[思韻如藍]

暖冬，這也是我最愛的詩歌之一。能翻譯出來非常可貴，我似乎更喜歡後一種譯法。特別是把"超度"譯成releasing souls ，覺得比repenting sins 稍稍又貼近了一點。

[暖冬cool夏]

遊士好!謝謝你的喜歡和留言。半夜看到的翻譯版本也很不錯的，昨天就是怎麽也找不到了,很奇怪。要不是我腦子還不糊塗，還真以為是做夢，：-)。祝新的一周快樂！

這兩個譯本都很到位。降央的聲音很特別，很有磁性。
