秋詩篇篇

Odes to Autumn

作詞：劉家昌
作曲：劉家昌
英譯 : Retiredbum

深秋楓又紅

Maple leaves are turning red again in late autumn

秋去留殘夢
Lingering dreams are staying as season moves on

我心付諸於流水

All of my affections have gone to the stream of no return

恰似落葉飄零

Just like for themselves the falling leaves mourn

轉眼之間白雪遮晴空

In no time snowflakes envelope blue skies and sun

寒風襲嚴冬

Frigid wind blows as severe winter marches in

莫待櫻花盛開春來

Dont wait until spring when cheery blossoms flower again

再踏雪尋芳蹤

It would be too late to find her then.

P.S. Thanks for Reaizuguo*. I was inspired to translate the lyrics by his namesake work 秋詩篇篇.

正確的解讀應是這樣的，

歌詞最後四句本來應該是
轉眼之間白雪遮晴空寒風襲嚴冬
也踏雪尋芳蹤莫待櫻花盛開春來

但為了押韻，作詞者把最後兩句對調成
莫待櫻花盛開春來也踏雪尋芳蹤

Correct! It does make sense.

Nothing is impossible

I suppose that "再踏雪尋芳蹤" is an intention which becomes impossible to achieve if one waits until "櫻花盛開春來". The English translation is obviously more straightforward.

Another possibility is that when "櫻花盛開春來", the snow has not completely thawed yet. Snow in the early spring is the third likely possibility.

Nothing is impossible, especially to a songwriter. LOL

I know sometimes the poem or pure literatures are trying to convey the cravings for the wishes that are impossible to be realized in reality. They serve as a process of spiritual purge, or catharsis.

You are exaggerating me, thanks anyway. But I wonder if it has already thawed when cherry blossoms flower. How come Mr. Liu could tread on the snow in searching for the one he loved?
