Bridal Song - 婚紗曲 (試翻譯自: 莎士比亞的詩歌)

[sfiawong]

這是初次嘗試翻譯莎翁詩:

<Bridal Song>

Roses, their sharp spines being gone,
Not royal in their smell alone.
But in their hue,
Maiden pinks, of odour faint,
Daisies smell-less, yet most quaint,
And sweet thyme true;

Promice, first born child of Ver;
Merry spring time's harbinger,
with her hell dim;
Oxlips in their cradles growing,
Marigolds on death-beds blowing
larks' - heal trim;

All dear Natue's children seet
Lie'fore bride and bridegroom's feet,
Blessing their sense!
Not an angel of the air.
Bird melodious or bird fair
Be absent hence!

The crow, the slanderous cuckoo, nor
The boding raven, nor chough hoar,
nor chattering pye.
May on our bride-house perch or sing,
or with them any di,cord bring,
But from it fly!

Bridal Song - ( 婚紗曲) -黃亞拔,sfiawong-

玫瑰花, 其尖刺正在消失
沒有宮廷的氣味,僅
在在它們的色調;
少女粉紅色和淡淡的氣味
雛菊氣味是少些,但卻最精緻,
甜香百里的真情;

櫻草花,第一個孩子的全部,
是快樂春天的前兆,
與她的鐘聲輕淡;
櫻草花在其成長的搖籃,
金盞花死亡床上吹着..
歡樂中的高跟鞋裝飾.

全數親愛自然的兒童甜言語
在新郎新娘跟前,
祝福他們的責任
雖沒有天使的氣氛
喜雀卻悠揚唱歌在聚會
才散去

烏鴉,杜鵑的誹謗也沒有
烏鴉的前兆也沒有雪霜,
也不掁抖.
可在我們的新娘房刺探或唱歌,
或與他們齊喧嘩,
但任從着它飛翔.

this was the first time i saw this poem. i have a feeling that it was not written by shakespeare. why so? meter is one thing of consideration. shakespeare did not seem to use this kind of meter (often). secondly, some words may not be so shakespearean. for instance, the word 'Ver'. apparently this is not an english word. it is latin, meaning spring. i don't recall seeing this word in his sonnets. also the rhyme. i would think that normally shakespeare would choose a different type of rhyme.
