I Am A Rock 一首關於寂寞的歌

Simon & Garfunkel 是美國60年代的樂團,知名歌曲如 The Sound of Silence《寂靜之聲》、Scarborough Fair《史卡波羅市集》、Bridge Over Troubled Water《惡水上的大橋》,每一首都膾炙人口,至今聽來毫不過時。這首 I am Rock 收錄於1965年發表的《The Paul Simon Songbook》專輯,最初由 Paul Simon 獨唱,隔年推出二部合音版而成為暢銷單曲。這首歌描寫一個人曾經受了感情傷害而自己封閉起來的悲傷。

~先來欣賞這首歌,再了解他在唱什麼~

A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone

在一個十二月晦暗的冬日,我獨自一人。
 

Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock I am an island

凝視窗外樓下的街道,新雪無聲飄落,我是一塊石頭,一座孤島。

 

I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship friendship causes pains
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
I am a rock I am an island

我建造堅固強大的城牆堡壘,沒有人可以侵犯。我不需要友誼,友情只會帶來痛苦。歡笑與親愛我已不屑一顧,我是一塊石頭,一座孤島。

 

Don't talk of love
Well I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock I am an island

別跟我說愛,我曾經聽過那些字眼,如今已經在我記憶裡沉睡,我不願喚醒已安息的舊情,不曾愛過,就不會哭泣。我是一塊石頭,一座孤島。

 

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock I am an island

書本與詩是我的防護,我穿著盔甲躲在房間裡,安全地待在巢穴裡,不跟人接觸,也沒人會接觸到我,我是一塊石頭,一座孤島。

 

And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

石頭感覺不到痛苦,島嶼從不哭泣。
