路南柯
刀郎词 宋德利译 October 22, 2023 看不出这首歌和《聊斋志异》有什么关系。歌词中没有像《画皮》和《花妖》等较为完整的叙事。其实,这首歌表达的是刀郎对哥哥的追忆、怀念和悔恨。歌中的南柯一梦寓意有些事情只能在梦里追忆,而每个人都有梦醒的时候。 刀郎于1971年出生,有一个比他年长五岁的哥哥。人都有青春期,总会叛逆的,刀郎也不例外。上了初中之后,刀郎就变得叛逆起来。少不更事他不懂收敛,加之交友不慎,遇人不淑,时常混迹于一些社会渣滓之中。他时常和别人打架。打不过的时候有哥哥撑腰。哥哥很能打,但报仇之后却责怪刀郎在外惹是生非,还向父母告状。父母很生气,刀郎会因此挨打几小时。为此,刀郎对哥哥又爱又恨,因此在后来的日子里,他都是和哥哥作对。但毕竟是亲兄弟,两个人的关系后来逐渐趋缓。不过最终两个人的关系却在刀郎十五岁那年戛然而止。 刀郎哥哥的女友感情史混乱,刀郎对此也有耳闻,但哥哥却蒙在鼓里,经常把女友领回家。当哥哥高高兴兴地向父母讲述两人亲密关系的时候,刀郎却感到很扎心,于是向父母挑明有人给哥哥戴绿帽的事情。哥哥因为受到父母的批评摔门而出,此后,哥哥再也没能够回来,因为他不久因遭遇车祸而身亡了。这一悲剧成为了刀郎一生的遗憾。他责备自己,如果不是他自己不懂事,如果不是他和哥哥吵架,哥哥也不会离开他。 刀郎之后的人生都是在不断的自责中度过的,不管他身在何方,经历了什么样的困难,只要每次想到哥哥的事情,便让他感到心痛。哥哥的离开,剩下的只有音乐在陪伴他,成为了他自我救赎的一个方式。刀郎曾为哥哥写下一首歌《我的好兄弟》,他唱得撕心裂肺。而多年之后的今天,他又为哥哥写了这首《路南柯》。 【注释】泉台:阴间,坟墓。兄台,对兄长的尊称。友于:本指兄弟相爱,后亦为“兄弟”的代称,比喻情谊比兄弟之间还要深厚。唐代的张说《会诸友诗序》:“谷子者,昔与说联务蓬山,出入三载,事志相得,情深友于。”据此,蒲松龄在《聊斋志异》中专门写了一篇《曾友于》。故事主角名曾悌,字友于,全副精力用在维护兄弟情谊上。看来,蒲松龄是根据人物特性特意将“友于”二字设定为主人公的字。 你藏在哪一层遥远的泉台蒿丘 泉台蒿丘,阴间,人死后所在之处。蒿丘,坟墓。路南柯,语出南柯一梦之说,就是梦境。 Where do you hide in a distant place of the underworld? 潸然又张帆 You are in tears and set sail. 一夜浮萍更漏断 就是更残漏尽。更和漏都是旧时的计时工具。晚上打更,白天漏沙,用以计时。 We are like overnight duckweed and time is nearly running out. 靠着些微弱的光亮人们涌向 By some faint light people are rushing towards 往日错过的渡口 The ferry which they missed in former times 来时未尝的险滩 And the treacherous beach that they’d never tried to go when they came. 在解脱的绝口把形骸置于辉章 绝口,疑似借口;辉章,疑似徽章。 They put their bodies on the badge under the pretext of liberation. 月圆桂枝上 The full moon hangs on the branches of the laurel tree. 一更红烛笏满床 一更,下午7点后,也就是天刚黑的时候。笏满床,出自曹雪芹《红楼梦》,名为《好了歌》:“陋室空堂,当年笏满床。衰草枯杨,曾为歌舞场。”笏,读“户”,记事板,古代君臣在朝廷上相见时手中所拿的狭长板子,按品第分别用玉、象牙或竹制成,以为指画及记事之用。笏满床的意思是指地位煊赫,家中权贵极多,上朝所持板子叠放满满一床。 The light of the red candle is shining on the ivory note-boards on the bed at the end of the day. 只盼着重泉相见的来不及忏悔啊 重泉一是黄泉;二是山东蒲城。此处应是前者。黄泉,出自中国古籍经典《左传》中郑伯克段于鄢的故事,郑庄公说待其死后将与母亲在黄泉相见。后在汉字文化圈中用于指人死后所居住的地方。因打井至深时地下水呈黄色,又人死后埋于地下,故古人以地极深处黄泉地带为人死后居住的地下世界,又称九泉、九泉之下,指九层泉井的极深处,逐渐形成后世阴曹地府的观念。黄泉路,指人死时通往黄泉地府的路。 I only look forward to the meet you in the underworld but it’s too late to confess. 眼前风烛皆故人 In the waving candle light, everyone in front of my eyes is my old friend. 草头露珠黄 The dew drops on grass tips are yellow. 我在流光的奏章里写下青天白日 I write down the blue sky and the white sun in the memorial of the flowing light. 可怜你的名字签在量产的石碑上 Pity your name was put on a mass-produced stone tablet. 哎呀那是我们的忧悲流向江之东方 Oh, that's our sorrow flowing to the east of the river 归去了归去了罢 Go back. Go back. 朝着阳之初升的方向 Back to the direction of sun-rising. 当泥土以炉火与我们虚构山河 When the earth used stove fire to made up mountains and rivers with us, 瀚海以沉默置换着阴阳起落 When the vast sea used silence to change the rise and fall between Yin and Yang, 腐烂了所有语言的顷刻就坠落了罢 All the languages got rotten and let them fall at once. 古宅门前路南柯 The Nanke Road is located in front of the ancient house. 归雁复几何 How many returning wild geese are left? 我在流光的奏章里写下青天白日 I wrote down the blue sky and the white sun in the memorial of the flowing light. 可怜你的名字签在量产的石碑上 Pity your name was put on a mass produced stone tablet. 哎呀那是我们的忧悲流向江之东方 Oh, that's our sorrow flowing to the east of the river. 归去了归去了罢 Go back. Go back 朝着阳之初升的方向 Toward the direction of the rising of the sun. 月上东山啰 The moon is on the east mountain. 泪呀泪涟涟 Tears and tears. 晚睡的秋虫儿 The autumn insects sleeping late 一对对在我窗边 Came to my window in pairs. 那秋虫儿叫呀 The autumn insects are chirping. 叫得我那远行的人儿啊回来啊 They try to all back my brother who has gone far away. 我的窗儿 My window 我的窗儿上啊 On my window 秋虫儿叫呀 The autumn insects are chirping. 哥哥你回来啊 Brother, come back 我的窗儿 My window, 我的窗儿上啊 On my window, 秋虫儿叫呀 The autumn insects are chirping. 哥哥你回来啊 Brother, come back! 我的窗儿 My window. 我的窗儿上啊 My window 秋虫儿叫呀 Autumn insects are chirping. 哥哥你回来啊 Brother, come back 我的窗儿 My window 我的窗儿上啊 On my window 秋虫儿叫呀 The autumn insects are chirping. 哥哥你回来啊 Brother, come back! 哥哥你回来啊 Brother, come back!
