【海藏集】天使的號角已吹響

大天使的號角已經吹響

四騎士之劍亮出鋒芒

第一劍撕下魔鬼的偽裝

霎時收了珠光寶氣

現出邪靈的本相

第二劍劈向蠢動的魍魎

它們結夥成群四處偷盜

早已臭名昭彰

第三劍指向被誘惑的靈魂

與魔鬼作交易

可知堆滿金幣的山洞

亦是埋骨的墳場

第四劍刺向魔鬼的心臟

去你該去的地方

地火熊熊

為你而燒得滾燙

大天使的號角已經吹響

誰還在故作聾盲

諸神的烈怒潑天而降

從東到西

從下到上

大水漫過一切邊界

湧向四面八方

地底沸騰著岩漿

似有巨大密謀在蘊釀

冰雹與雪逼退盛暑

裹挾千古冤憤六月來降

蝗蟲越陌度阡遮蔽太陽

顆粒不剩吃盡過冬的食糧

瘟神還在行過之處布疫

將世上的人逐一揀選

從富翁到乞丐

從罪犯到君王

所有的人啊

要想一想

是誰開了天地

又分開陸地與海洋

是誰造了人類

又賦予其智慧和力量

為何所有的文明

無不源於信仰

天地之權柄在誰的手中

為何畏懼魔鬼的皮鞭

卻敢褻瀆威嚴的神杖！

邪惡將在諸神圍剿中滅亡

正義升揚如大日之光

茫茫大夢太久長

今日選擇

明日應得

或者與魔共舞萬劫不復

或者與神同行永世流光

時間在分分秒秒流淌

聽！

大天使的號角已經吹響

看！

【海藏集】大音希聲（致香港）

一個浪頭打來，

將我拋向不知何地

一片暗潮洶湧，

將我拖進深海之底

默默吞聲，無有隻言片語

我之呼告，早為雷音吞沒，鋪天蓋地

我卻不能哭泣

更不能一潰千里

無論如何

封堵我口，磨滅我心，千方百計

我都不會沉默不語

你終無法讓我失語！

努力堅守不要顫慄

我唯知我不會在沉默中放棄

面對窒息，我要呼吸，拼盡全力

你視我渺若螻蟻

我卻不會在沉默中放棄

堂皇規則刻於石上

字句陳腐不可違背如鐵律

「你要安分守己」

「你要循規蹈矩」

然而，此時，這場鬧劇正告終局！

我知我必須堅守不能潰堤

任你封堵我口，磨滅我心，千方百計

我都不會沉默不語

你終無法讓我失語！

努力前行不要顫慄

我唯知不會在沉默中放棄

迎戰狂風暴雨

我昂首直面寸步不移

豈能瘖啞偷生

我知我不會在沉默中放棄

牢籠無法將我囚禁

我又豈能束手待斃！

我將振作受傷的翅羽

而你將看我化身火焰燃燒在天際

我之大音在天地間久久迴蕩：

「我絶不會沉默不語……」

你想見我恐懼顫慄

我只知我不會在沉默中放棄

面對窒息，我要呼吸，拼盡全力

你視我渺若螻蟻

我卻不會在沉默中放棄

我唯知永遠不會在沉默中放棄

譯文：元曦

是巧合還是天意，第一次聽到《阿拉丁》插曲《Speechless》，直覺這簡直是為香港而寫。遂譯出一版，敬致香港為自由民權而戰的反共勇士。關於標題，看到網絡上已有的幾個中譯版，通常會譯為，沉默，無言，無言以對之類，我想，無論是這首歌本身所要表達的，或是聯想到當今香港，標題都不應是無言以對，而應是大音希聲！

Speechless《Aladdin 2019》:

Here comes a wave meant to wash me away

A tide that is taking me under

Swallowing sand,

left with nothing to say

My voice drowned out in the thunder

But I won't cry

And I won't start to crumble

Whenever they try

To shut me or cut me down

I won't be silenced

You can't keep me quiet

Won't tremble when you try it

All I know is I won't go speechless

'Cause I'll breathe When they try to suffocate me

Don't you underestimate me

'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Written in stone Every rule, every word

Centuries old and unbending

"Stay in your place" "Better seen and not heard"

But now that story is ending

'Cause I I cannot start to crumble

So come on and try

Try to shut me and cut me down

I won't be silenced

You can't keep me quiet

Won't tremble when you try it

All I know is I won't go speechless, speechless

Let the storm in

I cannot be broken

No, I won't live unspoken

' Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Try to lock me in this cage

I won't just lay me down and die

I will take these broken wings

And watch me burn across the sky

Hear the echo saying:

I won't be silenced

Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it

All I know is I won't go speechless, speechless

'Cause I'll breathe

When they try to suffocate me

Don't you underestimate me

'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

All I know is I won't go speechless, speechless

緊握神賜的權杖 Holding Firmly On To the God Bestowed Staff

人生如一場，

無可預知的漂流記。

一個浪頭打來，

便已換了幅天地。

隔夜的星辰閃爍，

孤高得恍如隔世，

照見一個個靈魂，

在天邊的島嶼上獨立。

地老天荒的夢想，

長的沒有盡頭。

回家的旅途，

誰能心志不移？

而我的手中，

緊握了神賜的權杖。

在遙遠的傳說中，

它曾令紅海壁立。

是的！

緊握了神賜的權杖，

雙腳踏地，

如托鉢萬里的僧侶，

讓神識翱翔在天際。

當風吹過天地，

緊握了神賜的權杖，

我來了又去。

Human life is an unpredictable journey
Like that of a message bottle adrift
Upon the rise of one wave
The world has already changed.

The shining stars of last night
So lonely, so high, like a memory of a past life
Lighting up soul after soul
Standing alone on an island
At the end of the world.

This old and everlasting dream
So long, and never ending
Upon returning home
Who can stay true to their first wish?

I hold firmly on to the God bestowed staff
Once used to part the Red Sea.

Yes, holding firmly on to the God bestowed staff
My feet secure on the ground
Life a monk who travels a thousand miles
With only his begging bowl.

Let my thoughts fly into the boundless sky
And when the wind blows
Let me hold firmly on to the God bestowed staff
Coming and going again.

Translated by Jennifer Zeng

为你而来 Coming for You

我臨溪而坐

長裙婉約

安靜如遠古的精靈

 

我吹起長笛

仙音縹緲

百轉如流水般輕盈

 

我踞石而望

思想深邃

如不可言說的秘密

 

我為你而來

攜子之手

同返記憶中的天庭

元曦注：寫給TIAN仙女的小詩

- For Ariel Tian, my dear fairy

I sit by the waterfall
Quietly as an ancient fair maiden
My long skirt modest and graceful

I play my flute
The heavenly music swirling into the air
Softly sounding as the murmuring creek

I look into the sky
My thoughts deep and profound
Like secrets that cannot be told

I come for you
Holding your hand
Let us return to our home in heaven
Dearly cherished within our hearts.

落葉之殤 Elegy

 

當秋風起時

天地間落葉蕭蕭

隨風舞蹈

舞步寂寥

無復春日的輕佻

卻不歇腳

不計前程路迢

時而顧步深林

仰見搖曳的樹梢

想起夏日的黃鳥

一紀漫長的輪迴

嘆息生命的蕭條

記憶

雖然遠渺

依然美好

 

Elegy

 

As the autumn wind blows

Leaves fall from the sky

Dancing with the breeze

Their steps lonely

Heavier than in the spring

However, this won't prevent them from leaving

No matter how far the journey ahead.

 

Sometimes they hesitate and wander around in deep forest

Looking up at the swaying branches

Still remembering the singing birds in summertime.

 

Throughout a myriad of reincarnations

Millions of years and more

They sigh upon the fragility of life

The memories of the past so remote and surreal

Yet, feel so wonderful and true.
