先来简单说明一下, 早在好久好久以前, 念外文系的主唱Chris就已经有这样的想法 : 把自己唱的歌词, 翻译成英文, 让歪国人也看得懂他在唱些什麽. 後来过了好一阵子, 风籁坊都组了三年, Chris的外文发展触角渐渐往东瀛发展, 找来了大学时代的恩师Michael一同做了第一次台语歌翻成英文歌, 这样的一件事情. 虽然我自己不是很确定, 会有多少母语是英文的人, 会对风籁坊的台语歌有兴趣, 甚至因为这样想说那我来学个台语吧? 无论如何, 站在舞台上或是看着歌词, 我们都 还是会希望有更多人可以看到. 谢谢Michael, 还有很多声道的Chirs. 另外Michael有写了个前言, 但是已bbs的排版大家看了会很头晕 请到部落格或是facebook看 ! 阿公的三轮车 Grandpa’s 3-wheeled Bicycle 阿公踏着伊的三轮车 Grandpa peddles his 3-wheeled bicycle. 车顶是爱哭又爱随路的我 On the bicycle, a kid likes to cry and follow (Grandpa). 踏过鹿埔村的田桁 Peddling through the farms and fields of Lou-bwo Village . 阿公踏着伊的三轮车 Grandpa peddles his 3-wheeled bicycle. 咱凑阵作夥经过松树门 Together we pass Pine Tree Gate. 经过土地公踏过清水沟 Passing the God of Land, crossing a bridge over a small green irrigation stream. 坐在车顶望着阿公的肩胛头 Sitting behind, facing Grandpa’s shoulder. 伊一步一步 踏着春风 Step by step, peddling with the spring wind. 笠儿掩遮日头的赤炎 Shaded from the heat by a farmer’s hat. 锄头掘着孙儿的压年红包 Farmers all digging with a hoe in order to give their grandsons a good hong bao. 葱儿高丽菜适在唱歌 Tsang ah (The spring onion) and go le tsai (cabbage) are singing, 唱着古早彼台旧RADIO的梦 Singing about a dream of that old radio. 担单担着你就缓缓儿行 Walk slowly when carrying the dan da (shoulder harness). 随你的後壁永远不知通惊 Following behind you, not yet knowing what it is to fear 有耳无嘴望着阿公的肩胛头 I had ears but no mouth (was silent) facing grandpa’s shoulder. 咱一步一步 踏着希望 He peddles the bike step by step, peddling on hope. 戏棚顶布袋戏在彼在舞弄喇 Puppets are moving chaotically on stage. 庙口的狮儿头犹原是未挣未动 The stone lions in front of the temple are still… still. 闲时就来亭儿脚行棋 Leisurely playing chess under a pavilion. 举着旗子坐游览车来去旅行 Holding a flag, taking the tour bus. 举着旗子坐游览车来去旅行 旗子举着你就缓缓儿走 Bringing banners, please carefully walk slow. 旗子举着你就缓缓儿走 Bringing banners, please carefully walk slow. 咱一步一步 踏着春风 Step by step, we’re peddling with the spring wind.
