初听乔西・格劳本（ＪＯＳＨ。ＧＲＯＢＡＮ）这首二月之歌的时候，就有一种想把它译成中文的冲动。试用过几种现代体裁之后，均觉得未能传达其痛切之意。于是试着用古体诗把它译成了中文。 

古诗词中对友情的书写不乏名作，如“思君若汶水，浩荡寄南征”。最为痛切者，可以顾贞观（字梁汾）寄吴兆骞的“金镂曲”为例。一曲“季子平安否？”真正是感天动地，难怪它会激发出纳兰性德那首同词牌的讴歌友情的杰作“赠梁汾”。不过，我却记不起什么忏悔疏于友情的作品。许是我孤漏寡闻，少见多怪之故。各位方家或可补正。 

疏于友情，若是因为山水之隔，也还情有可囿。可是现代的疏离，多由于价值和信念的坚守或放弃。此时，咫尺之间，恍若天堑。此情此景，才真正让人唏嘘不已。这首歌传达的似乎就是这样的一种痛责。 

下面的联接能让你欣赏到这首感人的歌曲。

“February Song” 二月风

Where has that old friend gone老友今何在
Lost in a February song迷踪二月风
Tell him it won’t be long告之毋待久
Til he opens his eyes, 转瞬或重逢
opens his eyes转瞬或重逢

Where is that simple day昔日竟如梦
Before colors broke into shades光影已成尘
And how did I ever fade吾身尚苟且
Into this life, 迷茫尘世中
into this life迷茫尘世中

And I never want to let you down决无辱君意
Forgive me if I slip away尚望囿情深
When all that I’ve known is lost and found失落祈复得
I promise you I, I’ll come back to you one day誓尔终重逢

Morning is waking up梦醒且愕愕
And sometimes it’s more than just enough熹出望外中
When all that you need to love挚爱竟咫尺
Is in front of your eyes眼前浑似梦
It’s in front of your eyes眼前浑似梦

And I never want to let you down决无辱君意
Forgive me if I slip away尚望囿情深
Sometimes it’s hard to find the ground净土殊难得
Cause I keep on falling as I try to get away堕落漫无终
From this crazy world乱世觅武陵

And I never want to let you down决无辱君意
Forgive me if I slip away尚望囿情深
When all that I’ve known is lost and found失落祈复得
I promise you I, I’ll come back to you one day誓尔终重逢

Where has that old friend gone老友今何在
Lost in a February song迷踪二月风
Tell him it won’t be long告之毋待久
Til he opens his eyes转瞬或重逢
Opens his eyes转瞬或重逢
