宋祖英鳥巢音樂會:康定情歌 - 宋祖英,Placido Domingo
附英譯歌詞:
High upon the mountain side
Floats a cloud so white
There lies the Kangding town
Bathed in silver moonlight
Moonlight shines bright
Over Kangding town
Lovely maid with a sweet smile
Li the woodcutter's daughter
Zhang the blacksmith eldest's son (原文如此)
Come to court her in moonlight
Moonlight shines bright
A courtship in moonlight
Lovely maidens of the world
I cannot but Love you
Gentlemen of the world
They cannot but woo you
Moonlight shines bright
They cannot but woo you

《康定情歌》的英譯與演唱技巧

情以歌傳,永久記憶――中文歌曲英譯與演唱技巧
《康定情歌》的故事源於其作者李依若的真實故事,
這位四川宣漢人一生最愛搜集整理民歌和創作民歌。其中最出名的民歌有《蘇二姐》和《康定情歌》。當年李依
若在成都讀大學時與一個康定的、姓李的女子相愛,曾經結伴到康定跑馬山玩耍,根據湘西“溜溜調”編了一首《跑馬歌》,唱給“李家溜溜的大姐”聽,以示求
愛。但這段戀情卻遭到了家人的反對,繼母魏氏甚至斷絕了李依若的學費和生活費,後來還全靠他的義父和李姑娘的相助,才完成了大學學業。可惜的是,這段愛情
最終受各種思想的束縛,沒得堅持到最後,徒留一首情歌,唱盡當年情。
現在讓我們試着將這首歌用另一種語言唱出,讓當年的熱情,回憶出上個世紀的愛情。
一、統計原文音節數,循原文音節數翻譯
1.跑馬溜溜的山上,一朵溜溜的雲喲。[14] Over the Hill of Running Horses there is a beautiful cloud. [16]
2.端端溜溜的照在,康定溜溜的城喲。[14] Over the Town of Kangding there is a beautiful moon. [14]
3.月亮~彎~彎~,康定溜溜的城喲。[11] There is a beautiful moon over the Town of Kangding. [14]
4.李家溜溜的大姐,人才溜溜的好喲。[14] There’s a girl in the Li family; she is really beautiful. [16]
5.張家溜溜的大哥,看上溜溜的她喲。[14] There’s a man in the Zhang family; he is in love with her. [15]
6.月亮~彎~彎~,看上溜溜的她喲。[11] The beautiful moon can see he is in love with her. [13]
7.一來溜溜地看上,人才溜溜地好喲。[14] First because the girl is really very beautiful. [13]
8.二來溜溜地看上,會當溜溜的家喲。[14] Second because the girl is very good at housework. [13]
9.月亮~彎~彎~,會當溜溜的家喲。[11] The beautiful moon can see she’s very good at housework. [14]

12.月亮~彎~彎~,任你溜溜地求喲。[11] The beautiful moon can see you can pick any you like. [14]
二、翻譯問題分析及演唱技巧解說
第一句的譯文音節比原文多了兩個,Over the 要對應着“跑馬”唱,Hill
of要對應着“溜溜的”唱,“山上”原唱拖得很長,所以將Running
Horses(4個音節)對應着“山上”唱沒有問題。“一朵溜溜的雲喲”譯成“有一朵美麗的雲”(there is a beautiful
cloud),音節數相同。
第二句的譯文音節與原文相同,語義也基本相同。
第三句比較難譯,採用了意譯的方法。There is a對應着“月亮”唱,beautiful moon對應着“彎彎”唱,一個“彎”對一個英文詞即可。Over the Town of Kangding正好是7個音節,對應着“康定溜溜的城喲”唱,節拍一致。
第四句的“大姐”不能直譯,意譯成“姑娘”即可。There’s a girl in the對應着“李家溜溜的”唱,Li
對應着“大”唱,唱family時要快,對應着“姐”唱。“人才溜溜的好喲”意譯為 she is really
beautiful,音節數相同,但應該將really對應着“溜溜的”唱,而beautiful則對應着“好喲”唱。
第五句的“大哥”意譯成“男人”即可。前半句的演唱方式與第四句相同。“看上溜溜的她喲”意譯為he is in love with her,唱in時稍微拉長一點,對應着“溜溜”唱,love對應着“的”唱,with her對應着“她喲”唱。
第六句的“月亮彎彎”與第三句的處理方法不一樣,為了上下文一致,我們將其意譯為“美麗的月亮都能看出”(他愛上了那位姑娘),即The
beautiful moon can see he is in love with her,由於“月亮彎彎”拖得很長,The beautiful
可以對着“月亮”唱,moon對着第一個“彎”,can see對着第二個“彎”唱。
第七句“一來溜溜地看上,人才溜溜地好喲”也用意譯更好。音節比原文少了一個,可將First
be-對應着“一來”唱,first的/t/一定要省掉,cause the對應着“溜溜地”唱,girl is對應着“看上”唱。雖然really
very
beautiful(七個音節)與原文音節數相同,但是演唱時要將very(兩個音節)對應着“溜溜地”唱,而把beautiful(三個音節)對應着
“好喲”唱。
第八句意譯為“第二是因為那姑娘很會做家務活”。音節比原文少了一個,可將Second對着“二來”唱,將because
the對着“溜溜地”唱,girl is對着“看上”唱,good at對着“溜溜的”唱,housework對着“家喲”唱。請注意:
second的/d/一定要省掉,good at一定要連讀, at的/t/也不要發了,接着唱housework就行了。
第九句的翻譯策略與第六句相同。演唱時將she’s very對應着“會當”唱,good at 要連讀,對着“溜溜的”唱,good要拖長一點兒。
第十句意譯為I can love any of the girls in the world,但為了節拍一致,結構改成Of all the
girls in the world, I can love any I like。加了all,這樣語法說得通,音節數相同,但是須將Of all
the對應着“世間”唱,girls要拉長,對着“溜溜的”唱,將in the
world對應着“女子”唱。後半句7個音節對應着原文7個音節唱即可。
第十一句的翻譯策略和演唱方式與上句基本相同。只是“男子”被譯為young men,對應着“溜溜的”唱即可。
第十二句的翻譯策略與第六和第九句相同。
