Kokoro
源自我心(こころ)
I've been watching you awhile
我已注视你许久
Since you walked into my life
自从你步入我的生活
Monday morning, when first I heard you speak to me
周一清晨,当你第一次与我交谈
I was too shy to let you know
我却不敢让你知道这羞涩
Much too scared to let my feelings show
如此害怕表露我的感觉
But you shielded me and that was the beginning
但你保护了我,而那就是开端
Now at last we can talk
现在我们终可倾谈
In another way
只是以另一种方式
And though I try, I love you,
我爱你,虽然我尝试过
Is just so hard to say
但就是这么难说出口
If I only could be strong
要是我能坚强些
And say the words I feel
然后吐露心声
My bleeding heart begins to race
我悸动的心不住狂跳
When I turn to see your face
当一看见你面容
I remember that sweet dream
我仍记得那甜美的梦
Which you told to me
是你曾为我描绘的
I wanted just to be with you
我只想伴你左右
So we could make the dream come true
这样就能美梦成真
And you smiled at me and that was the beginning
你笑着肯定,而那就是开端
Now at last we can talk
现在我们终可倾谈
In another way
只是以另一种方式
And though I try, I love you,
我爱你,虽然我尝试过
Is just so hard to say
但就是难以出口
If I only could be strong
要是我能坚强些
And say the words I feel
然后吐露心声
Tell me what you're thinking of
告诉我你正想什么
Tell me if you love me not
告诉我你是否爱我
I have so much I long to ask you
我有太多的话要问你
But now the chance has gone
但现在为时已晚
When your picture fades each day
当你的照片渐渐褪色
In my heart the memory stays
我仍将你音容深藏于心
Though we rant, you're always smiling
虽然有过争吵,但你总是微笑
And I will hold it long .........
我会将此铭记于心
这首歌是游戏Xenosaga(异度传说)的曲子,游戏我没玩过,歌是我在找游戏的介绍时找到的。
演唱者Joanne Hogg似乎共为Xenogear(异度装甲)、Xenosaga(异度传说)系列演唱过四首主题曲,每一首都悦耳动听,其中Small Of Two Pieces在我看来更可堪称经典。
这次试着翻译这首Kokoro,译完越看越觉得是首怨妇曲——只不过其他三首也差不多是这个基调就是了^_^
