当周杰伦遇上英文歌词，逼格瞬间爆棚(7)

You faded out into the dark background.

《千里之外》：芙蓉水面采，船行影犹在，你却不回来
如果说每首歌都记录了一个故事，那么《千里之外》讲述的就是一段战火里“情深何在、生死难猜”的凄美爱情故事。这首满满民国风的歌曲，词虽易懂却并不好译，尤其是点题的这句“我送你离开 千里之外 你无声黑白”，既要点题又要表达出依依不舍的离别之情更是难上加难，下面的版本里，译者采取了完全意译的办法，虽有遗憾，但翻译常常也像故事里的爱情难得两全之道……
屋檐如悬崖 风铃如沧海 我等燕归来
Eaves erecting high against the world outside，
Windmill echoing like the sound of an ebbing tide,
I await you through all days and nights.
时间被安排 演一场意外 你悄然走开
Without a word of good-bye,
You pass me by and everything fades into black.
故事在城外 浓雾散不开 看不清对白
Our story started in the wilderness far and wide;
With dim air choking all words and passion in our eyes.
你听不出来 风声不存在 是我在感慨
Then I uttered a sigh,
And you have always taken that as a wind that just brushed by.
梦醒来 是谁在窗台 把结局打开
Our destiny was unveiled
