在显摆线又听到这首喜爱的歌, 呈上拙译.
lyrics by Eleanor Farjeon (ABAB 句式)
云天译
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word
天已破晓, 如同第一个清晨
黑鹂啁啾, 就象第一声啼音
赞美这歌声, 赞颂这清晨
赞美这声音带来的朝气清新
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
新雨多么甘甜, 天光普照万丈
象第一片草叶上的第一颗晨露
赞美这湿润花园里的甜美芬芳
完美出现在他的足迹所经之处
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
我既是阳光, 我又是清晨
伊甸园见证, 诞生于那光
纵情赞美, 赞美每个清晨
每一天都是上帝的再创.

These days, Eleanor Farjeon's most widely known work is the popular children's hymn Morning has Broken, written in 1931 for an old Gaelic tune associated with the Scottish village Bunessan. It was later popularized by the folk singer Cat Stevens. Her other popular hymn is the Advent carol People, Look East!, usually sung to an old French melody, and a favourite with children's choirs. Morning has Broken is one of the many poems to be found in the anthology Children's Bells under its correct title A Morning Song (For the First Day of Spring), published by Oxford University Press in 1957 and bringing together poems from many sources, including the Martin Pippin books. |
