演唱/朴树 翻译/佚名

Snow flows over a quiet village；
静静的村庄飘着白的雪
Doves fly across a gloomy sky.
阴霾的天空下鸽子飞翔
Two names are carved deep on a birch；
白桦树刻着那两个名字
They promised to stay in love all their life.
他们发誓相爱用尽这一生
One day the war broke out in their homeland.
有一天战火烧到了家乡
The lad picked up a gun to go to the front.
小伙子拿起枪奔赴边疆
"Don't worry for me, sweetheart."
心上人你不要为我担心
"Wait for me in the birch wood." he said.
等着我回来在那片白桦林
Doves are still flying across the same gloomy sky.
天空依然阴霾依然有鸽子在飞翔
Who would prove those graveless love and lives？
谁来证明那些没有墓碑的爱情和生命
Snow kept falling over the village, quiet as ever.
雪依然在下那村庄依然安详
And the young hid themselves behind the birch wood.
年轻的人们消逝在白桦林
The bad news came at the other afternoon.
噩耗声传来在那个午后
Her love laid down his life on the battlefield.
心上人战死在远方沙场
Quietly she came to the birch wood，
她默默来到那片白桦林
waiting there each day on tiptoe.
望眼欲穿地每天守在那里
She said he'd just lost his way in the land far away.
她说他只是迷失在远方
Surely he would come to the birch wood someday.
他一定会来来这片白桦林

And the young hid themselves behind the birch wood.

The long road is coming to its close.
长长的路呀就要到尽头
Snow-white hair flew over the once young face.
那姑娘已经是白发苍苍
She often heard his whisper over her pillow,

"Come, sweetheart, come to the birch wood"
“来吧亲爱的来这片白桦林”
Over her deathbed she murmured，

IMMORTAL BELOVED
贝多芬情书：永恒的爱人
作者/贝多芬


Good morning, on July 7

Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us -I can live only wholly with you or not at all -Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits –Yes, unhappily it must be so –You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never –Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet my life in V is now a wretched life -Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men -At my age I need a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection? My angel, I have just been told that the mail coach goes every day - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once-Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together-Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell. Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.

Ever thine
Ever mine
Ever ours

致我永恒的爱人：

我已经上床睡觉了，但种种思念都集中在你的身上，时而喜不自胜，时而又悲痛欲绝。期待着命运，可不知它是否会对我们垂青？或者我能够彻底地和你一起生活，或者根本做不到这一点，但我已决定四处飘泊，直到能够投入你的怀抱、完全可被称作你家庭中的一员、能由你将我的心灵送入精神世界为止。最后一点必须坚持，你应能明白我的意思，因为你了解我对你的忠实，决没有另外一个人能够占据我这颗心，决不会，决不会！上帝呀！人所钟爱的，为什么必须远远的分离？而我现在的生活却又为何充满烦恼？──你的爱情使我欢乐，同时又让我苦不堪言：在我这样的年纪上，需要的是一种整齐美满的生活，这一点能够在我们的关系中确立么？天使啊，我刚刚打听到：邮差每天都要出发，所以我必须到此结束，以使你能迅速收到这封信，请你安静些——只有这样我们才能在一起，请你安静些──你要爱我──今天──昨天──我因思念你而不觉泪如雨下──你──是我的生命──是我的一切──祝你安好，啊，你要继续爱我──永远不要误解你的爱人最忠实的心

永远属于你,
永远属于我,
永远属于我们

七月七日早晨

我走了，走了一半又停住，等你，等你轻声唤我。
——洛夫

Strolling slowly I came upon a place

To write for me a long letter in the sky
在天空为我写一封长长的信
Though carelessly writ
潦是潦草了些
My heart’s intent

Shone like the candlelight at your window
则明亮亦如你窗前的烛光
Still somewhat obscure
稍有暧昧之处
That cannot be helped
势所难免
Because of the wind
因为风的缘故
It matters not if you understand my letter
此信你能否看懂并不重要
What matters is
重要的是
You must, before the daisies wither
你务必在雏菊尚未全部凋零之前
Quickly lose your temper, or laugh
赶快发怒，或者发笑
Quickly find that thin shirt of mine in the trunk
赶快从箱子里找出我那件薄衫子
Quickly face the mirror, combing your soft black charm
赶快对镜梳你那又黑又柔的妩媚
Then light a lamp
然后以整生的爱
With a lifetime of love

I am a flame

To be extinguished any moment

Because of the wind
因为风的缘故

Viewing the Moon, Thinking of You
望月怀远

翻译/Ying Sun


As the bright moon shines over the sea,
From far away you share this moment with me.

海上生明月，天涯共此时。

（茫茫的海上升起一轮明月，你我相隔天涯却共赏月亮。）


For parted lovers lonely nights are the worst to be.
All night long I think of no one but thee.

情人怨遥夜，竟夕起相思。

（多情的人都怨恨月夜漫长，整夜里不眠而把亲人怀想。）


To enjoy the moon I blow out the candle stick.
Please put on your nightgown for the dew is thick.

灭烛怜光满，披衣觉露滋。

（熄灭蜡烛怜爱这满屋月光，我披衣徘徊深感夜露寒凉。）


I try to offer you the moonlight so hard to pick,
Hoping a reunion in my dream will come quick.

不堪盈手赠，还寝梦佳期。

（不能把美好的月色捧给你，只望能够与你相见在梦乡。）
