回到江西

文/彩霞

昨天早上6:15从广东东莞家中出发,两个人一路慢慢悠悠开车,遇到服务区就休息一下,下午3:30到达江西永新三哥家,在三哥家用了晚餐,天黑前回到自己位于永新县五一农场的家中。

两个人把满车行李扛上五楼,放下行李,老刘立即开始安装他在网上买的水风扇,我把所有玻璃窗打开透气、把纱窗关好防蚊、把全屋盖着大窗帘的家具逐一掀开。先扫尽地面灰尘、再用拖把地面拖干净、换好床上用品,终于歇下来,发觉时间已到晚上9:30。感觉快要累趴了!躺在床上,脑海里却像放电影般浮现很多事情……

因换了床,一夜并没睡好,吃了两颗褪黑素,才好不容易睡到天亮,起来喝杯黑咖啡,吃一块昨天从广东带回来的蛋糕,坐在书房的桌子前,打开手机里的音乐,《斯卡布罗集市》悠扬空灵的旋律响起,感觉精神状态开始回归正常。下文是《斯卡布罗集市》的中英文歌词,分享给朋友们:

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
你正要去往斯卡布罗集市吗?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香与百里香
Remember me to one who lives there
请代我问候住在那里的故人
She once was a true love of mine
她曾是我此生挚爱

(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
(绿林幽深,坐落青山旁)
(Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown)
(褐土覆雪,雀鸟翩跹寻访)
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)
(山野之子,以大地为榻为床)
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
(酣然沉睡,不闻号角催征忙)

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
嘱她为我缝制一件细麻衣衫
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香与百里香
Without no seams nor needle work
全无针脚,不见一丝缝边
Then she'll be a true love of mine
若能如愿,便是我一世情缘

(On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves)
(青山一隅,落叶簌簌飘荡)
(Washes the grave with silvery tears)
(银泪涟涟,洒落孤冢坟岗)
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
(士兵擦拭,手中冰冷刀枪)
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
(沉沉入梦,不闻号角催征忙)

Tell her to find me an acre of land
嘱她为我寻得一方小小良田
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香与百里香
Between the salt water and the sea strand
坐落沧海碧波与海岸沙滩之间
Then she'll be a true love of mine
若能如愿,便是我一世情缘

(War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions)
(战火呼啸,赤色军团列阵沙场)
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
(将帅发令,驱使兵士奔赴死伤)
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
(征战缘由,早已被世人遗忘)

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
嘱她以皮革镰刀收割田间食粮
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香与百里香
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
尽数收束,捆入石南花枝中央
Then she'll be a true love of mine
若能如愿,便是我一世情缘

(And when they have gone, the land still remains)
(征人远去,故土兀自绵长)
(Soldiers wander home through the endless rain)
(士兵冒雨,蹒跚奔赴故乡)

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
你正要去往斯卡布罗集市吗?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香与百里香
Remember me to one who lives there
请代我问候住在那里的故人
She once was a true love of mine
她曾是我此生挚爱
