Nan Yin (南音)

Khalil Fong (方大同)
在他的墨镜里
zài tā de mò jìng lǐ
In his sunglasses
看不到二泉的月映有多么蒙眬
kàn bú dào èr quán de yuè yìng yǒu duō me méng lóng
One cannot see how murky the moonlight of the Erquan Spring is.
只记得少年时
zhǐ jì de shào nián shí
I only remember my youth
练习著二胡时琴弦勒出了血红
liàn xí zhù èr hú shí qín xián lēi chū le xuè hóng
Practicing the erhu left blood-red marks on the strings.
三十四岁后失明了
sān shí sì suì hòu shī míng liǎo
He became blind at thirty-four.
怎么用他双眼寻找自己的光荣
zěn me yòng tā shuāng yǎn xún zhǎo zì jǐ de guāng róng
How can he use his eyes to seek his glory?
小时候拉奏著浪淘沙
xiǎo shí hòu lā zòu zhù làng táo shā
As a child, he played the piece 'Lang Tao Sha'.
他们说他是个天才儿童
tā men shuō tā shì gè tiān cái ér tóng
They said he was a child prodigy.
可是下一个画面里
kě shì xià yí gè huà miàn lǐ
But in the next scene,
他就走在街头贩卖著他的童梦
tā jiù zǒu zài jiē tóu fàn mài zhù tā de tóng mèng
He was on the street selling his childhood dreams.
喧哗酒家中拥挤的小巷中
xuān huá jiǔ jiā zhōng yōng jǐ de xiǎo xiàng zhōng
In the crowded alley of a noisy tavern,
他拉著等待著谁为他而动容
tā lā zhù děng dài zhù shuí wèi tā ér dòng róng
He played, waiting for someone to be moved for him.
音乐没人懂
yīn yuè méi rén dǒng
No one understands the music.
打赏要人懂因为他真的很穷
dǎ shǎng yào rén dǒng yīn wèi tā zhēn de hěn qióng
Tips require understanding because he is truly poor.
漆黑北风中飘渺的烛光中
qī hēi běi fēng zhōng piāo miǎo de zhú guāng zhōng
In the pitch-black north wind, amidst the flickering candlelight,
他想他总能为人们奏出彩虹
tā xiǎng tā zǒng néng wéi rén men zòu chū cǎi hóng
He thinks he can always play a rainbow for people.
音乐自己懂
yīn yuè zì jǐ dǒng
Music understands itself.
一样有听众沿途点亮 他命运的灯笼
yī yàng yǒu tīng zhòng yán tú diǎn liàng tā mìng yùn de dēng lóng
There are still listeners who light up the lanterns of his fate along the way.
二泉映月 他才不管红与不红
èr quán yìng yuè tā cái bù guǎn hóng yǔ bù hóng
He doesn't care whether 'Erquan Yingyue' is popular or not.
圆圆的墨镜里
yuán yuán de mò jìng lǐ
In round sunglasses,
自圆其乐昭君出塞自有人歌颂
zì yuán qí lè zhāo jūn chū sài zì yǒu rén gē sòng
He finds joy in his music, and there are others who sing his praises.
他人穷名不穷
tā rén qióng míng bù qióng
Though he is poor, his name is not.
他人穷志不穷音乐证明他有用
tā rén qióng zhì bù qióng yīn yuè zhèng míng tā yǒu yòng
Though others are poor, their aspirations are rich; music proves his worth.
回家路上由他老婆
huí jiā lù shàng yóu tā lǎo pó
On his way home, supported by his wife,
掺扶著拉奏著那一曲才最感动
càn fú zhù lā zòu zhù nà yī qū cái zuì gǎn dòng
He plays that piece, which is the most touching.
不知道路过的听到的
bù zhī dào lù guò de tīng dào de
I don't know if those passing by who hear it,
免费的有没有因此心痛
miǎn fèi de yǒu méi yǒu yīn cǐ xīn tòng
Have felt heartache from the free music.
可是下一个画面里
kě shì xià yí gè huà miàn lǐ
But in the next scene,
他就走在街头贩卖著他的童梦
tā jiù zǒu zài jiē tóu fàn mài zhù tā de tóng mèng
He was on the street selling his childhood dreams.
喧哗酒家中拥挤的小巷中
xuān huá jiǔ jiā zhōng yōng jǐ de xiǎo xiàng zhōng
In the crowded alley of a noisy tavern,
他拉著等待著谁为他而动容
tā lā zhù děng dài zhù shuí wèi tā ér dòng róng
He played, waiting for someone to be moved for him.
音乐没人懂
yīn yuè méi rén dǒng
No one understands the music.
打赏要人懂因为他真的很穷
dǎ shǎng yào rén dǒng yīn wèi tā zhēn de hěn qióng
Tips require understanding because he is truly poor.
漆黑北风中飘渺的烛光中
qī hēi běi fēng zhōng piāo miǎo de zhú guāng zhōng
In the pitch-black north wind, amidst the flickering candlelight,
他想他总能为人们奏出彩虹
tā xiǎng tā zǒng néng wéi rén men zòu chū cǎi hóng
He thinks he can always play a rainbow for people.
一样有听众沿途点亮 他命运的灯笼
yī yàng yǒu tīng zhòng yán tú diǎn liàng tā mìng yùn de dēng lóng
There are still listeners who light up the lanterns of his fate along the way.
二泉映月 他才不管红与不红
èr quán yìng yuè tā cái bù guǎn hóng yǔ bù hóng
He doesn't care whether 'Erquan Yingyue' is popular or not.
最亲爱的听众
zuì qīn ài de tīng zhòng
To my dearest audience,
想像他们的脸孔流泪或满脸春风
xiǎng xiàng tā men de liǎn kǒng liú lèi huò mǎn liǎn chūn fēng
I imagine their faces, shedding tears or filled with springtime smiles.
老爸是他英雄 他慈祥的脸孔
lǎo bà shì tā yīng xióng tā cí xiáng de liǎn kǒng
His father is his hero, his gentle face.
也渐渐地消逝在南音的琴声中
yě jiàn jiàn dì xiāo shì zài nán yīn de qín shēng zhōng
Gradually fading away in the sounds of Nanyin.
漆黑北风中飘渺的烛光中
qī hēi běi fēng zhōng piāo miǎo de zhú guāng zhōng
In the pitch-black north wind, amidst the flickering candlelight,
他拉著等待著谁为他而动容
tā lā zhù děng dài zhù shuí wèi tā ér dòng róng
He played, waiting for someone to be moved for him.
喧哗酒家中拥挤的小巷中
xuān huá jiǔ jiā zhōng yōng jǐ de xiǎo xiàng zhōng
In the crowded alley of a noisy tavern,
他拉著等待著谁为他而动容
tā lā zhù děng dài zhù shuí wèi tā ér dòng róng
He played, waiting for someone to be moved for him.
音乐没人懂
yīn yuè méi rén dǒng
No one understands the music.
打赏要人懂
dǎ shǎng yào rén dǒng
To be rewarded, one must understand.
沿途点亮 他命运的灯笼
yán tú diǎn liàng tā mìng yùn de dēng lóng
Lighting up the lanterns of his destiny along the way.
二泉映月 他才不管红与不红
èr quán yìng yuè tā cái bù guǎn hóng yǔ bù hóng
He doesn't care whether 'Erquan Yingyue' is popular or not.
