灌水【民謠】【4/77讀書筆記系列之《昆蟲記》】之四：《流螢》中英

Yisselakh

終於把第四首磨蹭出來了， 曲風參考Bob Dylan的Mr. Tambourine Man 和 Tom Petty的Wildflowers. 然後我正在看吳巖譯泰戈爾園丁集， 所以黃昏那句應該是受其中第十三首 ：「倦色依舊殘留在黎明的眼睛上」這句的啟發。

流螢

By: Yisselakh

Verse 1:

還有什麽話可講
這是甲蟲的名字
是甲蟲的新衣裳
是一粒塵埃唯一的希望
能在這個短暫的世界上
伸手就捕捉到星芒

Bridge:

我知道路的盡頭就在前方
夜空中散落著零碎的光
這是頑童夢裏
觸手可及的真相
這是頑童夢裏
觸手可及的真相

Chorus:

請點亮
請點亮
請點亮
你指引的光

請點亮
請點亮
請點亮
你指引的光

Verse 2:

我一定是從黎明的開場
就等待在了這一個地方
而你一直躲藏在了草葉中央
待黃昏疲憊的眼神搖晃
撲閃在霎那與無常之上
你才備好翅膀

Chorus:

再點亮
再點亮
再點亮
你指引的光

再點亮
再點亮
再點亮
你指引的光

Bridge:

飛離這迷宮似的土壤
飛離這迷宮似的土壤
回到純真， 古老的夢鄉
而這一回
I'll stay
You'll stay
We'll stay
And see


CODA:

我們將 曠野的悲傷
頭也不回 拋在後方
看陽光 看陽光 蓋過它們 與星光
看陽光 看陽光 蓋過它們 與星光

Oh love of mine
Love of mine
Love of mine
Isn't this just divine
You and I
And all we love
For all of life
All of life


Glowworm

By: Yisselakh

Verse 1:

Oh what more is there to say
About the beetle with new clothes
About the beetle with a new name
This as close as a speck of dust
Can get to catch a star

Bridge:

I know it won't be far
I can see the sparks
And you know
I'll never stray from the path
And you know
I'll never stray from the path

Chorus:

So
Light the way
Light the way
Light the way

So
Light the way
Light the way
Light the way

Verse 2:

I must have been waiting
Since the dawn of days
As you hid within the tall grass blades
When the weary eyes of dusk sway
Blink between time and that eternal place
I'll see you ascend above this maze

Chorus:

And
Light the way
Light the way
Light the way

And
Light the way
Light the way
Light the way

Bridge 2:

Back to innocence, back to the ancient dream
And this time,
I'll stay
You'll stay
We'll stay
And see

CODA:

The wasteland of sorrow
We left behind
Ebbs away, fades away
In the light, with the night
In the light, with the night
Oh love of mine
Love of mine
Love of mine
Isn't this just divine
You and I
And all we love
For all of life
