Ludens Posted August 14, 2011 at 03:29 PM Report Posted August 14, 2011 at 03:29 PM Today I decided to try to translate a Chinese song I like. Please note that my Chinese is nowhere near a level high enough to be translating any sort of native text. I'm just trying to have some fun studying. You are hereby granted to laugh at my feeble attempt. ---------------------------------------------------------- 歌名：说话的伤口 乐队：pk14 这是说话的伤口 - this is the talk of wounds 这是说话的伤口 - this is the talk of wounds 它穿过血红的天空 - it passes through blood red skies 唱着一支熟悉的歌 - singing a familier song 这是我的手 - this is my hand 这是我的手 - this is my hand 它抓住黑夜并且把它扔掉 - it grabs the nights and throws them away 在夏天的公路上奔跑 - in summers of running on public roads 在血液流出的瞬间 - in moments of blood flowing out 摆出胜利的姿态并且大声地喊叫 - takes on a victorious posture and cries out loud 这些说话的伤口 - these talks of wounds 这些说话的伤口 - these talks of wounds 它们穿过巨大的轰鸣 - they pass through immense rumble 毫不理会我的沉默 - hardly understanding my silence 在轰炸开始的时候 - when de bombing began 跑到外面发现时间已经过了很久 - ran outside to find a lot of time had already passed 在所有的街道的尽头 - at the very end of the street 都有哭泣的影子以及大声地喊叫 - all cry in the shadow and scream out loud ---------------------------------------------------------- Seems a bit dramatic to me, but that might be due to my translation. If anyone would care to make a proper translation of this song, and/or give any pointers, it would be highly appreciated. Quote
