Constantine’s Dream

Constantine's Dream - Patti Smith (帕蒂·史密斯)

以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供

In Arezzo I dreamed a dream

在阿雷佐我梦见一场梦

Of Saint Francis who kneeled and prayed

圣方济各跪地祈祷

For the birds and the beasts and all humankind

为飞鸟走兽与芸芸众生

All through the night I felt drawn in by him

整夜我被他深深吸引

And I heard him call

我听见他的呼唤

Like a distant hymn

如远方圣歌低吟

I retreated from the silence of my room

从静默房间悄然退避

Stepping down the ancient stones washed with dawn

踏着晨光浸染的古老石阶缓步而下

And entered the basilica that bore his name

走进那座以他圣名命名的巴西利卡

Seeing his effigy I bowed my head

瞻仰圣像时我虔诚垂首

And my racing heart I gave to him I kneeled and prayed

将悸动的心献予圣者 屈膝祷告

And the sleep that I could not find in the night

那些长夜难觅的安眠

I found through him

终在他怀中寻得

I saw before me the world of his world

眼前浮现他眼中的世界

The bright fields the birds in abundance

丰饶原野上飞鸟如云

All of nature of which he sang

他所歌颂的万物生灵

Singing of him

都在歌颂着他

All the beauty that surrounded him as he walked

他漫步时周身环绕的至美

His nature that was nature itself

他的本质即是自然本身

And I heard him - I heard him speak

我听见他——听见他诉说

And the birds sang sweetly

群鸟婉转啼鸣

And the wolves licked his feet

野狼轻舔他双足

But I could not give myself to him

我却无法将身心交付于他

I felt another call from the basilica itself

我感受到圣殿深处传来的另一重召唤

The call of art - the call of man

那是艺术的召唤——人类的召唤

And the beauty of the material drew me away

尘世之美将我引向别处

And I awoke and beheld upon the wall

当我醒来 凝视墙上

The dream of Constantine

君士坦丁的梦境

The handiwork of Piero della Francesca

皮耶罗·德拉·弗朗切斯卡的手笔

Who had stood where I stood

他曾如我这般驻足

With his brush stroked The Legend of the True Cross

以画笔勾勒《真十字架传奇》

He envisioned Constantine advancing to greet the enemy

他预见君士坦丁向前迎敌

But as he was passing the river

但当他渡过河流时

An unaccustomed fear gripped his bowels

一种陌生的恐惧攫住他的脏腑

An anticipation so overwhelming that it manifested in waves

如此强烈的预感如浪潮般涌现

All through the night a dream drew toward him

整夜梦境向他逼近

As an advancing Crusade

如同前进的十字军

He slept in his tent on the battlefield

他在战场的帐篷中安睡

While his men stood guard

而他的士兵们守卫在侧

And an angel awoke him

天使将他唤醒

Constantine within his dream awoke

君士坦丁在梦中惊醒

And his men saw a light pass over the face of the King

他的臣民看见圣光掠过君王面庞

The troubled King

那忧心忡忡的君王

And the angel came and showed to him

天使降临向他显现

The sign of the true cross in heaven

天穹中真正的十字圣徽

And upon it was written

其上铭刻着神谕

In this sign shall thou conquer

以此印记 汝当征服

In the distance the tents of his army were lit by moonlight

远处军营的帐篷 被月光温柔点亮

But another kind of radiance lit the face of Constantine

但另一种光辉 照耀在君士坦丁脸庞

And in the morning light

当晨光初现时

The artist seeing his work was done

艺术家凝望完成的杰作

Saw that it was good

知晓此乃神迹

In this sign shall thou conquer

以此印记 汝当征服

He let his brush drop and passed into a sleep of his own

他搁下画笔 沉入自己的梦境

And he dreamed of Constantine carrying into battle in his right hand

梦见君士坦丁右手高举圣徽征战沙场

An immaculate undefiled single white Cross

一座纯净无瑕的白色十字架

Piero della Francesca as his brush stroked the wall

皮耶罗·德拉·弗朗切斯卡挥动画笔时

Was filled with a torpor

被倦意笼罩

And fell into a dream of his own

坠入自己的梦境

From the geometry of his heart he mapped it out

以心灵几何丈量世界

He saw the King rise fitted with armor

他看见君王披甲而起

Set upon a white horse

跨上白色战马

An immaculate cross in his right hand

右手持着圣洁十字

He advanced toward the enemy

他向着敌军挺进

And the symmetry the perfection of his mathematics

那精妙的对称 他数学般完美的布局

Caused the scattering of the enemy

令敌军溃不成军

Agitated broken they fled

慌乱溃散 四散奔逃

And Piero della Francesca waking cried out

皮耶罗·德拉·弗朗切斯卡惊醒时高呼

All is art - all is future

万物皆艺术 万物皆未来

Oh Lord let me die on the back of adventure

主啊 让我在冒险征程中安息

With a brush and an eye full of light

手持画笔 眼中盛满光芒

But as he advanced in age

但随着年岁渐长

The light was shorn from his eyes

光明从他眼中消逝

And blinded he laid upon his bed

失明的他卧在床榻

On an October morning 1492 and whispered

在1492年十月的清晨低语

Oh Lord let me die on the back of adventure

主啊 让我在冒险征程中安息

Oh Lord let me die on the back of adventure

主啊 让我在冒险征程中安息

And a world away - a world away

而远隔重洋——远隔重洋

On three great ships

三艘巨舰之上

Adventure itself as if to answer

冒险本身仿佛在回应

Pulling into the New World

驶向新大陆的航程

And as far as his eyes could see

极目所至的远方

No longer blind

不再被蒙蔽双眼

All of nature unspoiled - beautiful - beautiful

未经雕琢的自然——如此壮美——壮美

In such a manner that would have lifted the heart of St Francis

这般景象足以令圣方济各心驰神往

Into the realm of universal love

升华为普世之爱的境界

Columbus stepped foot on the New World

哥伦布踏上了新大陆的土地

And witnessed beauty unspoiled

见证那未经玷污的至美

All the delights given by God

神赐予的万千欢愉

As if an Eden itself as if Eden had opened her heart to him

恍若伊甸初现 似乐园向他袒露心扉

And opened her dress

轻解罗裳

And all of her fruit gave to him

将累累硕果尽数献予

And Columbus so overwhelmed

哥伦布沉醉难持

Fell into a sleep of his own

坠入独属他的梦境

All the world in his sleep

大千世界在梦中流转

All of the beauty all of the beauty entwined with the future

所有美好 都与未来交织缠绕

The twenty-first century

二十一世纪

Advancing like the angel

如天使般向前迈进

Advancing like the angel

如天使般向前迈进

That had come

那曾降临

To Constantine

君士坦丁身旁的

Constantine in his dream

君士坦丁梦中所见的天使

Oh this is your cross to bear

这是你必须背负的十字架

Oh Lord Oh Lord let me deliver

主啊 主啊 请让我传递

Hallowed adventure to all mankind

神圣的冒险属于全人类

In the future

在未来

Oh art cried the painter

艺术啊 画家呼唤道

Oh art - Oh art - cried the angel

艺术啊 艺术啊 天使呼唤道

Art the great material gift of man

艺术是人类最伟大的馈赠

Art that hath denied

艺术曾被否认

The humble pleas of St Francis

圣方济各谦卑的祈愿

Oh thou Artist

噢 你这艺术家

All shall crumble into dust

万物终将归于尘土

Oh thou navigator

噢 你这航海家

The terrible end of man

人类可怖的终局

This is your gift to mankind

这是你赠予世人的礼物

This is your cross to bear

这是你背负的十字架

And Columbus saw all of nature aflame

哥伦布望见万物燃作烈焰

The apocalyptic night

启示录般的黑夜

And the dream of the troubled King

与那困扰之王的梦境

Dissolved into light

消融于光明之中
