尼斯水怪

我的尼斯

養了一隻尼斯水怪
牠不住蘇格蘭高地
從沒打算當牠是傳奇
雖然偶爾我幻想牠是

漣漪僅在風靜後出現,傳奇之騷動
輕柔地 暗示隱秘的存在
莫入水淺之處涉險
莫讓未成形的恐懼凝成驚駭

命運總歸如此,一日
有人猛然划漿
“非關水中的擾亂”,我的尼斯說,
“是更原始的聲音將我喚醒”

水波加速,背脊浮起,砸碎的尖叫
醜陋的張揚令牠羞赧
急忙下潛將斥責聲拋諸腦後
悔意雖然顯露,卻為一絲不甘沖淡

水草冷脆,游魚肥脂
我餵牠文明的食物
似乎沒有一樣讓牠聽力受損
我的尼斯不隨我老去



Below is the English version.
Rather childish I guess, but here it is.

My Pet Nessie

I have a pet Loch Ness monster
Whose abode lies not in the Scottish High.
Never meant to keep as a legend
But I fancy it so occasionally.

Ripples only when the wind is quiet, a legend’s job is to stir
ever so gently, to suggest a notion of hidden presence.
Venture not into the shallow water
Lest cast the shapeless fear into a dread.

As fate would be spelt, one day
a man would violently row his paddle.
“Nothing to do with the disturbance,” my Nessie said,
“I awoke to a sound more primordial.”

An accelerated wavefront, a looming hump, a crushed scream -
Then shying away from its manifested ugliness
No sooner had the chiding No-No been uttered than it dived.
Regret was sensed, though diluted with a shred of reluctance.

Crispy is the weed, fat is the fish
I’ve been feeding it meals of civilized kinds.
But nothing seems to dull its hearing
My Nessie does not grow old with me.

"顯然有南北差距......
 我國中時唱的是散塔露西亞、念故鄉"......me too

今日群聚中, 聽這優美曲調,
感覺在這午後天氣驟變中再聽, 更有一番溫柔心緒,
由底層輕輕浮起......

我不敢跟BS King比
2009/04/09 22:47

歌詞記得清楚只是因為常常哼唱,實在沒什麼。BS King記不全可能是跟蔡琴唱的那首「青青湖畔」混淆了,因為雖然唱青青湖畔,套用的就是羅莽湖畔的旋律。

你總算遇到對手了
我的記憶極差,反倒心無罣礙

呃,講這樣……

關於夜叉,我去問問我家老爺……

另外,說到這首歌,你真的以前沒聽過嗎?我高中時學的,當時音樂老師喜歡教唱所謂世界名曲,很多歌(真的很多)都是那時候學的。羅莽湖畔的歌詞我還記得:

出城郊,風光好,望遠坡,真美麗,香塵日照裡羅莽湖上。

憶當初,雙情侶,終朝攜手共遊嬉,在那美麗、美麗羅莽湖畔。

你要越高山,我要履平夷,到鄉關行路難,你來何遲!

喔,喔,雙情侶,從今恐無相見期,在那美麗、美麗羅莽湖畔。

歌詞真好。那個年代改編的名曲,非常有水準。

I say, let the beast rise and let the beast trample

Make the evil hide and the hypocrites trembled.

I urge, let the beast run wild and let the beast burn

So the Phoenix can arise again out of once fine urn

 

Unleash your pet and give them a war

That crushes out their world complacent for all

Make them pay dearly for what they have done –

Damnant quod non intelligent

 

 P.S. My darling wife urged me not to encourage you.

You'll soon have all the time in the world to finish those letters and stories you promised!
Have a wonderful trip.

大概被吵醒了,還不會忘記要先打條領帶啦。

哈哈
參考《聊齋志異》的“夜叉國”,或可會心一笑乎?

I remember this song
2009/04/02 21:44
From junior high... "羅莽湖邊"
我要登高山   亦要履平夷  欲去復躊躇
憶當時  雙情侶  從此相別無見期
在那青青(?) 羅莽湖邊

顯然有南北差距哦。這麼美的歌我真是第一次聽到。
我國中時唱的是散塔露西亞、念故鄉(from Dvorak's From the New World 2nd movement).

Nessie, Nessie, got questions for you:
 
. Did you hear the whisper down south?
"me and my true love will never meet again on the bonnie,
bonnie banks o'loch Lomond....."
. Did you hear the thunder from the south?
"Freedom!!!!!" by Wallace.

Hear, Hear.
That tune is much purer than my troubled Nessie.

i wish Loch Ness could lead the way

Not sure you really want to let that happen ...
Waves! Wind! The torrential horror!
