第一次翻譯英文詩歌是幾年前第一次學唱藝術歌曲.我老師說我應該把歌詞的每一個字註上你自己的母語,這樣你就會更好的理解和演唱.旅行之歌(Songs of travel)是聲樂套曲一共九段,最初選定從羅伯特路易斯史蒂文森 Robert Louis Stevenson的同名詩作，由Ralph Vaughan Williams譜寫的男中音的歌曲,此外,也附有高音譜供男高音演唱 。整個套曲演唱需20至24分鐘。在我的學唱錄像有Whither Must I Wander 是第7段.這是第一段。我不太推崇唱翻譯的歌詞 ,唱歌就應該常原文。歌詞中有冷僻詞彙比如nigh,應翻譯為"靠近"(near in place)。歌詞的翻譯還得和音樂相配,所以以第二段時就不太順利,現只能先貼地一段.
