歌詞英譯之九：丁香花

［譯文］

丁香花
The lilacs

你說你最愛丁香花
You said you love the lilacs best

因為你的名字就是她
for you are named after her.

多么憂郁的花
What a melancholy flower

多愁善感的人啊
As sentimental as you.

當花兒枯萎的時候
When she withered away,

當畫面定格的時候
freezing at her prime,

多么嬌嫩的花
delicate as she is,

卻躲不過風吹雨打
she is doomed to suffer the rain and wind.

飄啊搖啊的一生
No matter how many twists and turns there are in life

多少美麗編織的夢啊
and how many dreams weaved in wonder,

就這樣匆匆你走了
you hurried away to death,

留給我一生牽掛
yet living always on my mind.

那墳前 開滿鮮花
The grave has burst into full bloom,

是你多么渴望的美啊
a beauty that you ever yearned for.

你看啊 漫山遍野
See, flowers are everywhere.

你還覺得孤單嗎
are you still all alone?

你聽啊 有人在唱
Listen, who is singing

那首你最愛的歌謠啊
your favorite ballad?

塵世間 多少繁蕪
all the ups and downs of the world

從此不必再牽掛
are gone and no more.
