那一天(歌，词，英译(转))

昨日半夜3点多又醒来，辗转反侧，不知为何想起那首歌“那一天”，就索性拿起枕边的iPad，查了查词，有人说是仓央嘉措写的，有人说不是的。无意中打开一个链接，看到歌词，还有英文的翻译，觉得不错，想着等天明后再读读，就留了那页在那儿，然后睡了回去。早晨醒来，想起了，拿起iPad，发现那页的歌词在，英文却不见了。难道我做梦，梦游啊？绝对不是。不甘心地重新搜索，却怎么也找不回来。然后却意外发现了新浪博客一个叫“北美长风”人的博客，里面的译文众多，只匆匆扫了扫，已经让我自惭形秽。没经人同意，抄载如下(Version1)，附其博客，以示出处，希望他不介意的。

版本1:

　　

那一天

闭目在经殿的香雾中 

蓦然听见 

你诵经的真言

　　

那一夜

我听了一宿梵唱 

不为参悟 

只为寻你的一丝气息

　　

那一月

我转过所有经轮 

不为超度 

只为触摸你的指纹

　　

那一年

我磕长头拥抱尘埃 

不为朝佛 

只为贴着了你的温暖

 

那一世

我翻遍十万大山 

不为修来世 

只为路中能与你相遇

　

那一瞬

我飞升成仙 

不为长生 

只为佑你平安喜乐

 

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

还有这个版本，从别处看到的：
　　那一刻我升起风马旗，不为祈福，只为守候你的到来
        The moment I raised the wind-horse flags
                     it is not for the blessings
                     but just for your coming

　　那一日垒起玛尼堆，不为修福，只为投下心湖的石子
        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

　　那一月我摇动所有的经筒，不为超度，只为触摸你的指纹
       The month I spinned all the prayer wheels
                  it is not for releasing souls
                  but just for touching the fingerprints you left

　　那一年磕长头在山路，不为觐见，只为贴着你的温暖
       The year I prostrated on the mountain roads
                it is not for going on a pilgrimage
                but just for staying close to your warmth

　　这一世转山，不为轮回，只为途中与你相见
      The lifetime I walked around the mountains
                 it is not for samsara
                 but just for meeting you on the way

　　那一天闭目在经殿香雾中，蓦然听见你诵经中的真言
       The day I was in the hall with eyes closed and incense smoke around
                      I heard the mantras
                      while you're saying your prayers

　　那一月我摇动所有的经筒，不为超度，只为触摸你的指纹
       The month I spinned all the prayer wheels
                  it is not for releasing souls
                  but just for touching the fingerprints you left

 

　　那一年磕长头在山路，不为觐见，只为贴着你的温暖
       The year I prostrated on the mountain roads
                it is not for going on a pilgrimage
                but just for staying close to your warmth

　　这一世转山，不为轮回，只为途中与你相见
      The lifetime I walked around the mountains
                 it is not for samsara
                 but just for meeting you on the way

　　那一夜我听了一宿梵唱，不为参悟，只为寻你的一丝气息
       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

　　那一月我摇动所有的经筒，不为超度，只为触摸你的指纹
       The month I spinned all the prayer wheels
                  it is not for releasing souls
                  but just for touching the fingerprints you left

　　那一年磕长头在山路，不为觐见，只为贴着你的温暖
       The year I prostrated on the mountain roads
                it is not for going on a pilgrimage
                but just for staying close to your warmth

　　那一世我翻遍十万大山，不为修来世，只为佑你喜乐平安
        The lifetime I covered ten thousands mountains
                     it is not for samsara
                      but just for blessing you safe, well and delighted

我以前读的是第二个版本，很喜欢，两翻译都很专业！歌唱得真好！

[暖冬cool夏]

回复“思韵”：同意你说的，第二个译得更准确些(但总觉得fingerprint 后面加上的，you left有点破坏了sth)，而且第一版本里”once in a..."好像意思有点出入，削弱了诗歌所表达的感情。不过，肯定都比我自己译要好很多。半夜看到的版本好像也不错，就是找不回来了，或许就是因为找不回来，才觉得丢失的总是好的。谢谢思韵的意见和留言。

[思韵如蓝]

暖冬，这也是我最爱的诗歌之一。能翻译出来非常可贵，我似乎更喜欢后一种译法。特别是把"超度"译成releasing souls ，觉得比repenting sins 稍稍又贴近了一点。

[暖冬cool夏]

游士好!谢谢你的喜欢和留言。半夜看到的翻译版本也很不错的，昨天就是怎么也找不到了,很奇怪。要不是我脑子还不糊涂，还真以为是做梦，：-)。祝新的一周快乐！

这两个译本都很到位。降央的声音很特别，很有磁性。
