Question

譯歌詞, 譯極都唔對路, 非牟利, 黎玩下啦. thx!如下:.

Woke up on a good day. And the world was wonderful
A midnight summer dream had me in its spell……
I dreamt about an old man. Sat and watched the rain all night
He couldn't sleep a wink as all the drops fell……

He told me of the beauty. Hidden in our foreheads
He told me of the ugliness. We show instead……
And when we put a foot wrong do we learn. From all the pain
A midnight summer dream as he watched the rain……

Then at midnight he poured another drink. And bent my ear
After midnight we sat up half the night. Or maybe more
And he began to tell me what it was all for……
I woke up in an armchair. He had gone I don't know where
Left me there to sit and look at the rain……

Don't remember much at all. But his words were echoing
A midnight summer dream and then wake again……
Maybe I'll never find him. Maybe he's gone forever.
Maybe I'll have to sit here. Watching the weather……
One thing's pretty certain helped me. Make it in the night

Showed me somewhere else between wrong and right……
And at midnight if you can't sleep. Then I can bend your ear
After midnight we'll sit up half the night. Or maybe more……
And I'll begin to tell you what it is all for……

唔好意思, 好長.
尤其頭兩行, 尾5行我捉唔到個味道.
如果你譯到全首有詩意, 我再開條簡題, 比40分你.
交流下啦, 謝謝!

我睇左呢首詩幾次，每一次都有唔同既感覺不過最深刻有以下兩個 ：

(i)係詩裏面所提到既"夢"我覺得係講緊一個不幸的人生. 而佢用（Woke up on a good day. And the world was wonderful ）來比喻一個幸運的人生. 個老人係一種無奈而帶抱怨既現象而會隨住生命一起消失. 主人翁代表不幸的人生(詛咒)的持續，會一代一代咁傳落去.

(ii)第二個睇法係主人翁所夢見既老人就係佢自己既將來. 而（A midnight summer dream）會係一件不幸或者係不快的事件. 响夢中佢提到（人們所隱藏的美麗）和 （人們展現醜惡來代替美麗）呢兩點來提出對人類既指責. 主人翁最後重復老人既故事呢一點可以睇到佢既內心世界非常混淆，保持住同一個思想階段而走唔出個牛角尖.


呢首詩幾特別，因為每一次睇都有唔同既feel, 可能係睇既時候自己心情有ｄ唔同.
希望可以幫到你........................................
