天籁之音《Night Prayer》

前段时间听了不少好听的歌，但这首我一定要推荐出来，真是天籁之音。小点声音，迷醉～～～

Night Prayer　《黑夜祈祷》

翻译：爆牙齿。

This lonely road I am walking on　荒僻的路上，我走向前方
Where did it begin? Where will it end?　始于何处？又将归于何方？
And when the dark night comes　夜幕何时沉降？
Who will save my soul?　谁来抚慰心伤？
On my lonely road will I walk alone? 　这寂寞之路，难道我将继续独行？

I never feared darkness coming near　我从不畏惧被黑暗所包围
Now I don’t know why I behold the sky　现在我却迷茫，我竟凝望天空
To find the brightest star　想要去找到那最亮的星
With it’s brilliant light　在灿烂的光芒下
So I pray to thee, will you shine on me?　向它祈愿：能否照亮我的前方？

Mother Moonlight, fill my scared eyes　慈母般的月光，洒满我恐慌的双眼
Light up my way with your brightest ray
Shining on everything through the clouds　用那穿越重重云层照亮万物的柔和光芒，点燃我的道路
Take my hands ‘till the morning will come　握着我的双手，直到清晨的来临

This dusty road where I walk alone　风沙弥漫的路上，我继续独行
With my restless heart and my tired bones　怀着难以平静的心情，拖着疲惫不堪的身躯
It’s going on and on　这旅途似乎永无止境
But I know for sure　但是我坚信不移
That it’s leading me to the world of dreams　它正指引着我迈向梦想世界

This lonely road I am walking on
(You are not alone When you leave your home　你并不孤独，当你离开家)
Where did it begin?Where will it end?
(And you’re far away On a dusty way　在风沙弥漫的路上越走越远)
And when the dark night comes?
(I will always care　我一直担心着你)
Who will save my soul?
(And I will be there　我会来你身边)
On my lonely road will I walk alone?
(Every time you call…call my name…　在你每一次呼唤……呼唤我名字之时....)

I never feared darkness coming near
(You are not alone When you leave your home)
Now I don’t know why I behold the sky
(And you’re far away On a dusty way)
To find the brightest star
(I will always care)
with it’s brilliant light
(And I will be there)
So I pray to thee,will you shine on me?
(Every time you call…call my name…)

这首歌我在网上发现了两版不同的翻译，个人认为一个直译过度还加了很多口水话，另一个翻译的第一段精彩（我几乎原封不动的使用），尤其是将”Who will save my soul?“译为“谁来抚慰心伤？”，很有感觉，简直让人拍案叫绝。但是之后断句翻译，意译过度，用词过于华丽了甚至最后完全乱来，比如最后一句“And I will be there /Every time you call…/call my name…”被断句华丽的意译为“我就在不远之处/每次你的声音发出……将我的名颂读...”，什么玩意儿嘛。还有更夸张的华丽，“And you’re far away / On a dusty way”华丽转身后变成“行千里积跬步/那里沙尘起舞”。

两版翻译都无法让我满意，于是手痒痒，有了上面的亲自下笔，哈哈，或许我是最差的一版。
