Walking on

The fighting-in-life theme is strong with our song series, and we keep it today with a Cantonese song, 继续行 | Gai3-zuk6 hang4, which means "Walking on". It's year 2 song 88. I translated it to English on 10/10/19, between 16:15 and 16:52. Removed "so" from l. 4 before "far" at 22:57 to better fit the tune. Let's see it!


夜深    极灰暗
剩低我在街里独行
长路无穷孤寂
一切甚    遥远
迎面冷雨下
身未再抖震

* 夜深    剩低我
剩一个独身过路人
曾在茫茫土壤
双脚曾留下印
还是要继续
还是要追逐
曾立志倾出    一生

# 曾想    退避
不想一生愁困
决意走远
孤身飞奔
但惊觉这是
背负一生

@ 如今    坚心
即使天昏路途暗
也决心
寻片地栖我身
未管那处是远
未管那处是近
我亦全心
继续拼命寻

*

Deep night,    dark roadway,
On my own I’m walking this way,
On this endless lonely road
Everything    seems far,
In my face there’s rain,
Trembling’s far away

* Deep night,    I’m left here,
A simple lonelỳ passerby.
Once upon boundless soil
Mȳ footprints would lie.
I want to go on,
I want to pursue,
Resolute to fight all my life!

# Once wished    to flee,
Refused to grieve each day all day,
Determined
To go so far away,
I woke in shock
At what burden on me lay.

@ With strong    heart now,
Though darkness me doth surround,
I’m resolute
To find my piece of ground,
No matter if it’s near,
No matter if it’s far,
With all my heart
I’ll search anyhow.

Always fought for myself

And we're still on the fighting theme, and back to Min Nan too, with 男人的汗 | Lâm-lîn--ê kuānn, "Man's sweat", but it really should be titled 查埔人的汗 | Tsa-poo-lâng--ê kuānn, given that this is what the song actually says.
In any case, the first record of the song is in Session 15 from 23/6/12, the previous one being from 18/6/12, so I probably met it within that timeframe. It only first appears in the 3/9/12 songs file though, with the below original version of the translation, super-incomplete, and dated to 26/8/12 by the mega-intro.
On 9/10/12, my corrector at the time came to my home, and suggested some corrections, though I believe he also had trouble figuring out the Min. This produced, presumably, the middle mistranslation, which is first recorded in a 17/3/13 mail attachment, and is still incomplete.
This is what remains until blog times. Then, when drafting this post… «oh my, I only translated half of it (the first half), though I did revise it! Is it in my translations notes perhaps? Nope! Well, I'll have to finish it right now, at 11:04 on 11/9/2018, then. Or rather at 11:49 after readying the rest of the post. Let's see what comes out!».
We then have an English remake, which is for now only three lines so IAFI and intro. Here's the IAFI quote: «On 11/8/21 at 0:20, I decide I'm going to remake the English version of this song, and get three lines done: Life brought me to this / Mountain of a place / Where I've found gods too lonely feel».
That quote was mostly to explain the IAFI quote on the French: « Later that night, at 0:34-1:24, I try my hand at a French version, doing half of it». It then takes all the way to 21/11/22 19:12-19:35 before I take this up again and complete it, with a tweak the next day at 13:02. And it took till now, 22/11/22 13:07, to realize "montaigne" is a spello. And now here we are.
So let's see this bad boy.


* 人生行到这儿
地位亲像就像
才知神仙
也孤单
性命生命越头回头
风云起变化
知雨水
参血汗
时也 运也
总靠双手
家己自己争斗

# 他乡路故乡名
孤单
为着一顿白米换
肩头双爿担
旧时路伴阮1今日
笑过去
伤心所在寄
一生风雨
啥物什么才拭会
这滴 查埔人男人的汗







1 注意 (dialect note):闽语的人称代词 闽语有七个
人称代替:「我 | guá」,就是「我」;
「你 | lí」,就是「你」;「伊 | i」,就是
「他、她、它」;「阮 | guán / gún」,
意思是「我们、不包括你」;「咱」,
就是「咱们」,意思是「我们、也包括你」;
「恁 | lín」,就是「你们」;「亻因 | in」,
就是「他们」。在歌曲里常常只有一个我
和一个你而没有别人,所以「阮」常常跟「我」
一样、「咱」常常跟「你我」一样。
Life has come to this
Placing dear as mounts
I’ve found gods too lonely are
Life looks o’er my head
Wind and clouds do change
Who knows rain oozes
Sweat and blood
Time too fate too
Always helds hands, pieced me up







Lifelong wind, rain
What thing can rub and dry
All this …

# Out abroad can't find one from my land
I walk alone
For a meal of rice I will
Carry stuff with both shoulders
Once the road walked with me, but now
It laughs at my past
Cannot find a place to stay
Lifelong wind and rain…
Whate'er can wipe it dry,
All this puddle of man's sweat?

La vie, ripide montagne,
Ici elle m'a porté,
La solitude des dieux j'ai trouvée.
En regardant mon passé,
Je vois des tempêtes,
La pluie avec sang et sueur
Est mélangée!
Temps ah! Sort ah!
Avec ces mains j'ai toujours lutté

Loins d' ma terre, je n'ai pas d' copains,
Seul j'm'en vais.
Pour une assiette pleine à manger
Des poids je dois porter!
Maint'nant la rue qui m'accompagnait
Rit d' mon passé.
Je n'sais jamais où m'ancrer…
En cette vie d'tempête,
Qui pourra jamais sécher
Ce sueur qui m'a tout mouillé?

Time to work together

Speaking of fighting for oneself, here is a song about working together for a better future. This song, a Haitian Creole song which I think [this Youtube video has since emerged to confirm my suspicion, and I have also recorded my own video of the song] is titled Pa ret ap domi, "Don't stop in a sleeping state", or less literally "Don't keep sleeping", is one I met via a Bay Ridge band (or otherwise) CD where it was recorded with a blatantly English accent and the booklet had lyrics with at least two misspelligs and a somewhat wrong translation, so today I want to make clarity on this, and also to put my English and Chinese translations online, which date to Jul 27 2018, except for the line "Vini nan jan ou ye" which dates to Sep 3, when this Quora question finally got Olivier Coq's answer. The English version of it originally read «Come with us how you are», not sure when it changed, but before Sep 11. I later translated it to Italian, 12:22-12:26 2/4/20. Speaking of acknowledgements, I asked half a billion questions about this song. I originally mentioned a bunch of them here, but I have since made a decipherment post for this song, so I'll shove them over there, and only mention this one here, where Mario Arash's answer (or rather a comment to it by him replying to mine) helped the Chinese version by suggesting alternate versions to the lines «请举头来看上» and «请你提起裤子,扣上腰带。» on Jul 28. There was a little hiccup in the first line, as per the decipherment post, which says «So this line means either "Don't stop or you'll sleep, my friend" or "Don't stop in the state of sleeping, my friend", which I wish I could render as "Don't stop sleeping" except this means the exact opposite :). Reading this, it appears the second interpretation is correct, so perhaps a slight revision of [the titles in my video of the song] «Do not stop to sleep» and «别停别睡觉» is in order. Doing it now on Sep 12 2018 at 18:33». But let's get to the song!


* Pa ret ap domi, zanmi mwen
Leve tet ou gade
Gade soley la wa wè
Ki le li fè
Pa ret ap domi, zanmi mwen
Leve tet ou gade
Gade wa wè li le
Por konbit la kòmanse

Vini nan jan ou ye
Trouse pantalon ou mare ren ou
Si nou vle demen pi belo
Fò nou mete men ansanm o
Si nou vle demen pi belo
Fò nou mete men ansanm o
Ansanm ansanm, ansanm ansanm
Ansanm ansanm, ansanm ansanm

*

Vini nan jan ou ye
Pa gade deye pa gen kè sote
Si nou vle choute tout mize
Enkouraje ansanm ansanm o
Si nou vle choute tout mize
Enkouraje ansanm ansanm o
Ansanm ansanm, ansanm ansanm
Ansanm ansanm, ansanm ansanm

*别继续睡觉,好朋友,
请抬头往上看
看到太阳就知道
现在几点。
别继续睡觉,好朋友,
请抬头往上看
看就知现在是
一起工作的时候

请你只做自己
提起你的裤子,扣上腰带。
如果想更好的明天
我们就得共同牵手
如果想更好的明天
我们就得共同牵手
共同共同,共同共同

请你只做自己
不要回头,不要吓一跳啊
如果要把苦难踢飞
就共同鼓起勇气吧。

* Don't you stay asleep, my dear friend,
Raise your head up and look
Look at the sun and you'll know
What the time is.
Don't you stay asleep, my dear friend,
Raise your head up and look
Look and you'll know it's time
That we start to work as one.

Come with us as you are
Roll your pants up and then your belt fasten
If we want a better future,
We must join our hands together.
If we want a better future,
We must join our hands together.
As one, as one, as one, as one
As one, as one, as one, as one.

Come with us as you are
Don’t look back, do not have any jumpscare.
If we want to fight our sadness,
Let us hearten up together
If we want to fight our sadness,
Let us hearten up together
As one, as one, as one, as one
As one, as one, as one, as one.

Vieni così come sei
Tira su i pantalon,
Cingi i fianchi:
Se vogliam doman migliore
Ci dobbiamo dar le mani

Vieni così come sei,
Non guardar dietro,
No, non temere:
Se vogliam cacciare la miseria,

Dreams

When I heard this song, it made me think of last post's song, so I guess it is a good fit here. It's an English song called Dreams, or maybe "Dreams come true", appearing in the video at 4:33-6:25. I translated it to Min partly between 11 and 12/4/19, partly on 15, and the rest in the night between 19 and 20, with two tweaks around 12:30 on 20/4/19, including changing 你的梦就欲成真 and 一粒星般明亮 to their present forms. Here we go!


What's a dream?
Are they beyond the reach
Of people like me?
What's the point
Of imagining
When you could be
Someone that the world'll remember
After you go forever and ever?
Now I see that dreaming
Is only the beginning
You have to take yourself
One step further toward winning

Chorus:
Dreams come true
Don't let anybody keep you
From soaring high
If you want your dream to never die
Then believe in yourself
As I believe in you
And your dream will come true

People say
That dreaming all day and night
Will get you nowhere
Don't believe a single thing
That they say
'Cos inside you know
You're already there
You have what you need
Today is your day
Go out and show the world
Who you are
Let your light shine
As bright as a star

Chorus



梦是什么
像我这款这样的人
是否到咧
来想像
啥物路用什么用
若是如果你会
世界放袂记忘记你啊
到离世永远这儿的时啊
如今我看发梦
一定只是起源啊
若是若果想欲想要
多一步旋啊

合唱:
梦成真
毋通不要人来预防你
来高高飞
若果你的梦永不死
就该相信家己自己
亲像就像我相信你
你的梦就成真

有人
规工整天规夜整夜发梦
就无处可到咧
莫相信
他们
一句话
心内你知影知道
你已经达到
需要的
今日是你的
出去世界看
你是
你的光
如星般明亮

No pain, no gain

Today we change Chinese dialect once again, and hop into Min Nan, finding ourselves confronted with 爱拼才会赢 | Ài piànn tsiah ē iânn, "Only if you fight can you wind", which I met sometime between Christmas 2012 and Easter 2013 and only translated way later, apparently the same day I uploaded the bilingual recording of the song, which was Oct 21 2017. Let's see!


*一时失志
毋免不用怨叹
一时落魄
毋免不用胆寒
怎么可以失去希望
每日醉茫茫

亲像就像稻草人
#人生可比是

打拼才会赢

Do not grumble
If you're let down,
Do not panic
If you frustrated feel:
How can you just lose all hope,
Get drunk every day,
Have a soulless body
Like a scarecrow?
Life is just like
The blue waves of the sea:
Now it raises, now it falls.
Good luck, bad luck
Steadily will keep comin' and goin'.
Fate is just three parts,
You shape seven parts,
Strive on: no pain, no gain!

Heavenly marriage

And today we have yet another Mandarin song, 天嫁 | Tiān jià "Heavenly marriage" (or "Heavenly bride"), this one encountered no later than June 28 2012 and probably in that June, and translated to English with gaps and errors soon after, and in French too, to then ask about it on Stack Exchange, thus finding out it's imbued with Buddhism or something (as the Oṃ mantra at the end should have suggested anyways…), and reworking the translations between Jun 25 2017 and Jan 15 2018 (and goddamn me for not writing down the reworking date…).
More precisely, on 18/8/12 (quoth mega-intro) I did the English, except the first two lines of #, in the original mistranslated version (see next paragraph), plus with «Say: is the grass green up there?» as l. 4 of #. That is all that appears in the file of that date.
By the time the 3/9/12 file rolls around, we have the original mistranslated version, save for two typos in French, i.e. «Le nuées blanches» and «La aussi belle comme t’étais».
To avoid cluttering the page, I will report the original mistranslation here: «The dragon dear ones carry / Reaches bright sky» and «Le dragon des cheries va / Vers le grand ciel» for the banners line, «That’s the ?? of the sky / On white horse, wants far marriage / Parting sorrow’s too great and too dense» and «Ça c’est le ?? du ciel / Qui veut une épouse de loin / Ce douleur est trop grand et trop dens» for the beginning of section 2. Let's see!


* 流星划过天幕
长长的彗尾
冰雪溶化汇成
千年的泪
亲人捎来的龙达1
光耀苍穹
阿妈告诉孩儿
故事的凄美

# 那是天上的卓玛2
骑着白驹要远嫁
离愁有多痛?痛有多浓?
那里的小草绿吗?
那里的天蓝云白吗?
那里的你
还像从前一样美吗?

1龙达」就是吐蕃语的词,
意思是「经幡」。
2「”卓玛」就是吐蕃对女子的称呼,
意思是“度母”。
3唱成「Ong ma ni ma ni pe me hong」,
就是「唵嘛呢叭咪吽」。



* Meteors scratch the sky up
Long tails of comets
Ice and snow melt to a
Thousand years’ tears
All the relatives’ banners
Shine in bright sunlight
Mama tell your daughter
Hist’ry’s sad beauty

# That is Dolma from sky above
On white horse, wants far marriage
How great is parting grief? How deep is it?
Say: is the grass green there too?
Is the sky blue, are the clouds white,
And are you there
Just as beautiful as you were?

Loving no more is one kind of love

Back to English, but still with sadness, and a new broken heart. Another Mandarin song, 不爱了也是一种爱 | Bù àile yě shì yī zhǒng ài, "Loving no more is also a kind of love", translated to English partly on 27/3/19 and partly on 28. Let's see!


口白
女:喂
难:我们分手吧!
女:为……为什么?
难:我爱上别人

独自
走到你我相遇咖啡馆
记忆
早已不在这里转
熟悉位置空出一半
一个人有很舒服的宽
你不在
就像画的留白

走过
分手路口不会再拐弯
曾经
伤心对白也风轻云淡
*当承诺变承担
把期待等成了心酸
终于明白
放手才会是
最好的慷慨

#原来不爱了也是一种爱
原来心痛也能被温柔对待
阳光透进来
把心打开
用释怀换个灿烂
不恨了也是一种爱
祝福没有想像那么难
在爱情的转弯
天空依然还是
那么蔚蓝





相爱总是那么的困难
不爱也难
人就是要这样
走过来

Spoken
Woman: Hello
Man: Let’s break up!
Woman: Wh…why?
Man: I’m in love with someone else

Alone
To the café where we met I go
My thoughts
Are already far now though
With our familiarity
Half-gone, I'm comfortable when lonely
You're not here
Feels like that's meant to be

We’ve gone
Down the path of breakup, won't turn ’round
Our sky
When we were sad still would with light abound
* When promises burden you
And waiting turns so bitter too
Then well you see
That breaking up might
The greatest of gifts be

# Loving no more is still one kind of love
Heartache as well can be handled with tenderness
By letting light in,
Heart wide open,
Not think of it to make things bright
Not hating is one kind of love
Did not think wishing well would be so hard
While love keeps turning too,
The sky above is still
Such a deep blue

*

*

Loving always is a hard hard thing,
Just like not loving
People want to just be
Passersby
