【歌词翻译】Girl who got away (by Dido) 遁逸红尘

lyrics, 孙沁璇, June 25, 2016

喃喃诉底事,执手问红妆:


I wanna move with the seasons, go with the flow

与时共推移,随波亦逐浪,

Take it easy, and let stuff go.

世情纷繁处,切莫费思量。


I wanna sleep like a baby, and rise with the sun.

长夜赤子梦,晨起迎朝阳,

Kick it all back, and get nothing done.

毋问身外事,形役卸仓皇。


I wanna make this day, the longest day.

欲将今时此日,尽付漫漫岁月长。

With a warmth that delivers happiness.

以此拳拳热忱,遥递欢愉永未央。


If only for today, I wanna be the girl who got away.

若得浮生半日,悄然遁逸凡尘世。

The lover who really loved.

凭爱憎随心,任其情缘自相因。

The dancer who danced to the last song.

且轻歌舞曼,直至曲终人亦散。


Don’t wanna take sides.

咄咄向谁辩,遑论是与非。

Don’t wanna make sense of pounds and pence.

营营苦思虑,终久归式微。


I want to be alone, don’t wanna hide.

一心远人居,非使隐庭帏,

Don’t want to be talked over, or walked upon.

何苦诉执念,亦或漠然归。


I want to think the heart is bigger than the head.

莫以形骸自缚,此心寰宇竞相晖。

Wanna follow you but not be led.

何故亦趋亦步,不若同行暂相随。


If only for today, I wanna be the girl who got away.

若得浮生一刻,忍将羁縻抛身侧。

The lover who really loved.

愿真情由衷,任其聚散苦匆匆。

The dancer who danced to the last song.

且踏歌舞蹈,直至苍茫岁月老。


I know what it’s like to be passed over.

自知丘壑浅,从来皆落寞。

To go unnoticed, to be clumsy get things wrong.

往还无人问,行事鲁且拙。

And I know what it’s like to arrive too late.

或属晚来客,茫然身无措。

To be told to leave, to be walked upon.

不堪相驱遣,徒论世情薄。


If only for today, I wanna be the girl who got away.

若得浮生一梦,万般色相终成空。

The lover who really loved.

纵相逢有期,自古惺惺却相惜。

The dancer who danced to the last song.

且清夜起舞,舞尽娑婆尘世苦。
