流行歌曲中英文互译:一千年以后

歌词英译之八：一千年以后

［译文］

一千年以后
In A Thousand Years

心跳乱了节奏
My heart has lost its rhythm,

梦也不自由
and my dreams no longer carefree.

爱时的绝对承诺不说
The promise withheld when still in love

沉到一千年以后
has sunk into a thousand years later.

放任无奈淹没尘埃
Dust gives way to floods of regrets

我在废墟之中守着你走来
when I keep watch for you in ruins.

我的泪光承载不了
My glistening tears can't bear the weight

所有一切你要的爱
of all the love you thirst for.

因为在一千年以后
For in a thousand years

世界早已没有我
the world will have lost me,

 

无法深情挽着你的手
no way to hold your hand in fondness,

浅吻着你额头
and dip a light kiss on your forehead.

别等到一千年以后
Don't wait till a thousand years later.

所有人都遗忘了我
when I pass into oblivion.

那时红色黄昏的沙漠
Then over a red desert at dusk

能有谁
is there anybody

解开刹那千年的寂寞
who would ever undo a loneliness

刹那千年的寂寞
over a time from that instant to a thousand years later?
