[歌曲翻譯] Octavia's Overture (Octavia的序曲)

如同故事般的一首歌(不是每首歌都是故事嗎?哪有有些只是無病呻吟ww)

總之來欣賞這首背景小馬的歌吧XD

中英歌詞對照

Look back to long ago
回到那歷史鴻溝
To a little town so calm and slow
一個鄉村如此寧靜肥沃
The days and months and years just kinda slipped on by
那日啊月啊年啊就這樣流逝

You learned to play those ancient strings
妳學習那些古典樂器
While the world listened to other things
當世界聽著其他旋律
Until you finally just sat down to cry
直到妳終於坐下並哭泣

So you packed a bag and said so long
所以妳打包並道珍重
And you didn't look back till you were long gone
並且沒回頭直到妳走遠後
Headed to the city to play your song
前往某個城市需要妳演奏
Cause that's where you belong
因為妳屬於那種

Your parents worried 'bout you every day
妳的父母每天都擔心著妳
All your friends said you chose wrong
朋友都說妳選錯了路
But the promises of fame, success and fortune
但那有關財富、名聲的承諾
Were just too stong
讓妳無法回頭

Your only friend in the cold cruel city are your strings and bow
妳在這冰冷城市的朋友只有琴和弓
Keep walking through the rainy streets with your head down low
低頭走過大雨淋下的街道和巷弄
And as air gets colder and the rain turns to snow, whisper to yourself
而當空氣漸漸凍結、雨也變成雪，妳對自己說
I'm the type of pony everypony should know
世上每隻小馬都該認識我

Octavia, chin up now, don't look so glum
Octavia，抬起頭，別悶著說
Octavia, the time for you to shine has come
Octavia，妳閃耀的時刻已到來
Octavia, straighten up your tie and rosin up your bow
Octavia，束起妳的領帶並拴緊妳的弓
And play the world an overture they'll remember for years to come
並向這世界演奏一首流傳千世的序曲

Octavia, don't sell your dream so cheap
Octavia，別賤賣妳的夢
Octavia, this night is yours to keep
Octavia，夜晚將由妳保留
Octavia, just take a breath and reach down deep
Octavia，只要深呼吸往深處探去
And play the world a lullaby to send us off to sleep
並向這世界演奏一首催眠的搖籃曲

You've grown to love this sleepless city
妳開始愛上這座不夜城
With the shows so bright, and the lights so pretty
當表演如此明亮，燈光如此閃亮
You feel that this is where you're meant to be
妳發現這裡就是妳屬於

Your name and face are everywhere
妳的名子樣子，到處都是
When you walk by, they stop and stare
當妳走過，人們不斷注視
And you pretend like you just never see
而妳假裝把他們都無視

So you called a friend back from the past
所以妳致電給一位老朋友
A relationship that's meant to last
一段友誼應該持續到永久
You wonder how she's been all these years
妳想知道她這些年過得好不好

Can't talk now, busy making a brand new song
現在不方便，忙著創作一首全新的歌
Or is she faking, the conversation broke you down to tears
或這只是謊言，而這段對話最終以淚水終結

Why did I forget about her for so long
為何我遺忘 遺忘她如此長久
I thought it wouldn't really matter but it's all just gone so wrong
我本以為這沒有關係但失去一切最終
I'm sorry, so sorry, I'm trying to be strong
我很抱歉，很抱歉，我正試著振作

I'm the type of pony everypony should know
世上每隻小馬都應該認識我
But who I am inside isn't what I show
但我表現出來的卻都不是我
And as I walk through the cold and snow
而當我走過那寒冷的雪
I feel so low
我感到低落

Octavia, chin up now, don't look so glum
Octavia，抬起頭，別悶著說
Octavia, the time for you to shine has come
Octavia，妳閃耀的時刻已到來
Octavia, straighten up your tie and rosin up your bow

And play the world an overture they'll remember for years to come

Octavia, don't sell your dream so cheap

Octavia, this night is yours to keep

Octavia, just take a breath and reach down deep
Octavia，只要深呼吸往深處探去
And play the world a lullaby to send us off to sleep
並向這世界演奏一首催眠的搖籃曲

Octavia, we all miss you here at home
Octavia，我們在家鄉想著妳
Octavia, when you left us all to roam
Octavia，當妳決定離開這裡
Octavia, we never thought we'd see you again
Octavia，我們以為再也見不到妳
But the only thing we hear from you is you were right again
