昨日半夜3点多又醒来,辗转反侧,不知为何想起那首歌“那一天”,就索性拿起枕边的iPad,查了查词,有人说是仓央嘉措写的,有人说不是的。无意中打开一个链接,看到歌词,还有英文的翻译,觉得不错,想着等天明后再读读,就留了那页在那儿,然后睡了回去。早晨醒来,想起了,拿起iPad,发现那页的歌词在,英文却不见了。难道我做梦,梦游啊?绝对不是。不甘心地重新搜索,却怎么也找不回来。然后却意外发现了新浪博客一个叫“北美长风”人的博客,里面的译文众多,只匆匆扫了扫,已经让我自惭形秽。没经人同意,抄载如下(Version1),附其博客,以示出处,希望他不介意的。
版本1:
那一天
闭目在经殿的香雾中
蓦然听见
你诵经的真言
那一夜
我听了一宿梵唱
不为参悟
只为寻你的一丝气息
那一月
我转过所有经轮
不为超度
只为触摸你的指纹
那一年
我磕长头拥抱尘埃
不为朝佛
只为贴着了你的温暖
那一世
我翻遍十万大山
不为修来世
只为路中能与你相遇
那一瞬
我飞升成仙
不为长生
只为佑你平安喜乐
Once for a Whole Day
Authored By: Cang Yang Jia Cuo
Translated by: Long Wind
Once for a whole day
in a temple with burning incense I meditated
suddenly I seemed to hear
the resonance of your recitation in my ear
Once for a whole eve
I listened to the soulful chant in relief
not for enlightment in quest
but to feel your living breath
Once for a whole month
I turned all prayer wheels in earnest
not for repenting sins
but to touch your fingerprints
Once for a whole year
on all fours to dust I came near
not for worshipping gods
but to feel your warmth in love
Once for a whole life
I journeyed through ten thousand spires
not for rebirth to complete
but to meet you in destiny
Once in a split second
I may ascend as a spirit
not for eternity
but to bless with joy and security
还有这个版本,从别处看到的:
那一刻我升起风马旗,不为祈福,只为守候你的到来
The moment I raised the wind-horse flags
it is not for the blessings
but just for your coming
那一日垒起玛尼堆,不为修福,只为投下心湖的石子
The day I piled up the mani stones
it is not for accumulating merits
but just for those cast into the pool of your heart
那一月我摇动所有的经筒,不为超度,只为触摸你的指纹
The month I spinned all the prayer wheels
it is not for releasing souls
but just for touching the fingerprints you left
那一年磕长头在山路,不为觐见,只为贴着你的温暖
The year I prostrated on the mountain roads
it is not for going on a pilgrimage
but just for staying close to your warmth
这一世转山,不为轮回,只为途中与你相见
The lifetime I walked around the mountains
it is not for samsara
but just for meeting you on the way
那一天闭目在经殿香雾中,蓦然听见你诵经中的真言
The day I was in the hall with eyes closed and incense smoke around
I heard the mantras
while you're saying your prayers

it is not for releasing souls

it is not for the understanding of dhyana
