花呀,两叶儿
PEONY HAS WITHERED
Green branches and blue leaves
You are a peony and I am a leaf.
Peony has withered and fallen,
but the leaf doesn"t fall.
这是首洮岷“花儿”。“牡丹开罢叶不跌”,是男人对女人的爱情忠贞决心,海枯石烂不变心,比喻生动、贴切,轻松的语言,千斤分量,表现民歌朴实的美。“叶”、“跌”同韵。开始句既与歌紧密又展示音韵。
79.心上的“花儿”得唱了
黑云里闪出个月亮了
改革花儿(哈)解放了
心上的花儿(哈)得唱了
大海翻开波浪了。
HUAR IN MY HEART CAN BE SUNG
Moon has flashed under dark clouds,
Huar has liberated by reformation,
Huar in my heart can be sung.
It is like the sea to be rough.
“花儿”是人民的心声,出门人的歌,用政治的斧子是砍不掉的,改革开放是经济的,也是文化的,包括“花儿”在内。“心上的花儿得唱了,大海翻开波浪了”,人们可用自己最易表达感情的方式,向社会大声喊话了。我们有权利,我们有自由,我们有发言权。
“翻开波浪”译为to be rough。
80.“花儿”(哈)满严着哩
青枝绿叶四月八
果树花蓬严(者)哩
花儿山场上风莫刮
花儿(哈)满严着哩
HUAR CAN BE HEARD IN ALL THE DIRECTION
It is green in eighth of April,
Fruit-trees blossoms are covering over.
There is no wind blowing on Huar spot,
Huar can be heard in all the direction.
四月八是“花儿”会,“果树花蓬严(者)哩”是大自然景象,“花儿(哈)满严着哩”是人文文化,“蓬严”、“满严”是方言,生动、形象,更创造了鲜活气氛,使“花儿”会有声有色。
81.尕妹跟着笑(者)哩
炳灵寺里的尕石佛
靠崖着坐(者)哩
回过头来看着我
尕妹跟我着笑(者)哩
LITTLE SISTER FOLLOWED ME,LAUGHING
There are stone Buddha in the Bingling cave temple,
They are with their back against the cliff.
I looked over my shoulder
My little sister followed me laughing.
“花儿”常常以具体地名、具体事物、具体风貌“兴”说开。炳灵寺是位于永靖县的北魏石窟。“石佛靠崖坐着哩”,“尕妹跟着者笑哩”,把感情心态用“笑”提升到圣严境界,有力、可贵地显示了日常生活的社会价值、“笑”在爱情中的价值。
82.要吃个不罢的咒哩
你背上尕锅我背上枪
山上走
要吃个黄羊的肉哩
你拿上黄表我拿上香
进庙去
要吃个不罢的咒哩
WANT TO MAKE A SOLEMN PLEDGE OF LIVE
You carry the caldron on your shoulder
and I carry a rifle
To go and climb up the mountain,
We want to eat Mongolian gazelle meat.
You take the yellow paper and I take the incense
To go into the temple.
We want to make a solemn pledge of love.
临夏花儿中有六句的,实际是四句的变体,有称谓“折断腰式”,即一、二句之间加重复词组,三、四句之间亦是,以顿数强化感情,促进音乐性。这首民歌歌词带有迷信色彩。
“拿上黄表……拿上香”,“进庙去”,“要吃个不罢的咒哩”,这表示对爱情坚贞不变的心态,“上香”“吃咒”虽有宗教色彩,却是严肃的、神圣的。爱情是人的,却望神管,以显示爱情的伟大和神圣。
83.三架山(哈)当成门坎
鹿羔娃翻山着吃草尖
它不怕猎人的子弹
只要你我(哈)心不变
三架山(哈)我当成门坎
CROSS OVER…
deer cross over a mountain,
and are grazing on the hillside.
They are not afraid of bullet
As long as my little sister is willing to follow me,
I cross over three mountains as the mound.
把“三架山当成门坎”,这是揭示和肯定男人对女人的爱情的接受价值,在爱情中,人好像都是真诚的、勇敢的、美丽的。只要是爱,就没有等级,没有卑贱,没有你我的差距。爱是理智的、勇敢的、激情的力量。
84.放开嗓子唱吧
一年一度的四月八
松呜岩的山场法码
花儿本是心上的话
放开嗓子了唱吧
LET"S HAVE A LOUD VOICE TO SING
It is eighth of April every years,
Songmin yan"s spot is a grand sight.
“Huar”is originally words in heart,
Let"s have a loud voice to sing heartily.
松呜岩位于甘肃和政境内,巍巍的太子山旁。古松参天、涛声阵阵,每年四月初八,这里举行“花儿”会,有首“花儿”唱道:
“‘花儿’本是心上的话
不唱是由不得自家
刀子拿来头割下
不死是这个唱法”
因此,人们对这个“花儿”会,很重视,山场也法码了。“法码”为方言,盛况空前之意。这里最活跃的不光是青年,一些姑娘们一反昔日羞涩心态,把辫子一甩唱道:
“石花门开开干枝梅
少年是鹁鸽(者)天空里飞
‘花儿’(拉)搭上个对对”
85.走小康的路哩
太子山高积石山陡
崎岖的路
这条路是通北京(者)哩
锁南坝是个山又是个城
种的洋芋
走小康的路(者)哩
THIS ROAD GOES…
Taizi mountain is high and Jishi mountain is steep
The steep and climb road,
This road goes to Beijing.
Suonanba is a hill and a city,
The potato producing here
Goes to be a well-to-do family.
这是首新“花儿”,积石山在临夏自治州,保安族聚居于此。锁南坝在临夏自治州东乡自治县,东乡族聚居于此。东乡丰产洋芋,走出国门。
86.不唱花儿由不得自家
花儿本是心上的话
不唱是由不得自家
刀子拿来头(哈)割下
不死时还是这个唱法
WE CAN NOT BUT SING IT
Hua"er is the words within our heart originally,
We can not but sing it.
You want to cut my head with a knife,
We could without dying sing it so.
“花儿”是出门人的歌、情人的话、民族的喜怒哀乐,反抗的旗、战斗的鼓点,是大众文化的载体。人们唱着走向天堂。
87.让我们过好日子哩
大燕麦开花索罗罗吊
索罗罗吊
今年的庄稼有好收成哩
改革开放政策好,
邓爷爷
叫我们过好日子哩
LET"S LIVE A HAPPY LIFE
Oaten flowers are hangs,
Are hangs
We have a record harvest this year.
Reform and open-up are good policy,
My dear grandfather deng
Let"s live a happy life.
好政策的出发点是以人为本,落脚点是人民的幸福生活。为政之道,贵在为民,民为贵政则通。经济转型期,首先人民得到好处,这首花儿为新民歌,是人民的心声。民歌扎根于现实生活,总要表现生活,民歌是该民族与执行政策的政治团体的脐带。民歌是民族的,也是政治团体的,愈是民族的愈是世界的。
这里惯用了花儿的“兴、比”手法,行式对称、整齐。诗行停顿,歌句重复,相同或相似,显示了花儿节奏的音乐性。
88.梦……
有心了看一趟尕妹妹来
没心了辞一趟路来。
活着时捎一封信(者)来
死了是托一个梦来。
DREAM…
If you miss me you"ll come and see me for yourself,
If you don"t miss me you"ll bid me farewell,
If you are alive you"ll send a message to me,
If you die you"ll entrust a dream to me.
“花儿”是情人喜、怒、哀、乐的信息,没有情人的信息,就像没有空气。信息是头脑中的火把。
这首歌以“看”、“辞”、“捎”、“托”方式传送信息,充满爱情的信息,四句末尾均用一个“来”字,有语感、有音韵。
89.长走的路儿不断
天拉了云彩地拉了雾
地湿着雾气不散
我搬了石头你修了路
常走的路儿不断
PATH TO WALK SHOULDN"T CUT OFF
It widened cloud in the sky and tore mist on the ground,
Mist didn"t fall apart all the time
I carried the stone and you built the path,
The path to walk shouldn"t cut off.
“长走的路儿不断”为双关语,指具体的路,也是爱情的路,中国文化的爱情的路。中国文化的爱情观是“白头偕老”、“海枯石烂不变心”,这与“一夜情”、“天亮就分手”的游戏行为格格不入,又与“合则留,不合则分”实用主义不一样。“爱情的路应该走到底”。
90.自由的婚姻人人盼
唱罢了一年又一年
千万年
漫不完我俩少年
自由的婚姻(哈)人人盼
天地转
花儿里要唱出个心愿
EVERY ONE LONGS FOR THE FREEDOM OF MARRIAGE
We ended our Huar year after year,
Thousands of years
We shouldn"t make an end of our early youth.
Every one longs for the ******* of marriage,
It"s now on days
We sing our cherished dream from Huar
这是一首新民歌,“折腰”式的,以“花儿”歌唱自由婚姻。“少年”译为early youth。
91.四乡里动了哭声
马步芳坐了兰州城
河州城里抓了个壮丁
娘老子心痛得地上滚
四下里动了个哭声
PEOPLE BEING FULL OF ALL VILLAGE CRIED BITTERLY
Mabufang was appointed a leader in Lanzhou,
He grabbed the youth for military service.
Parents were sorrowful,wailing and rolling,
People being full of all village cried bitterly.
“花儿”是激情,有柔情,花儿也是愤怒的火焰,也常把一些作恶多端的人,钉在耻辱柱上,使他们遗臭万年。这首民歌所反映的正是历史中的反动人物所作所为。
“娘老子的心痛着地上滚,四乡里动了哭声”,这是真实情况,谁也涂不掉的历史画面。
92.保安族张开翅膀着飞了
山村的马车路弯又弯
曲曲弯弯地盘上天了
机械化的大路平又宽
保安族张开翅膀着飞了
THE BAOANS SPREADS WINGS AND FLIES IN THE AIR
Road being horse-drawn carriage
is a wilding path,
The path meanders and spirals up the blue sky.
The mechanical road is wide and flat
Baoans spreads wings and flies in the air.
保安族聚居于临夏自治州积石山,保安族的“花儿”民俗文化、民族风情是少数民族百花园中一簇耀眼的奇葩。
93.说话时心动弹着哩
南阳坡上一弯弯水
风刮时水动弹着哩
毛茸茸眼睛一点嘴
说话时心动弹着哩
HER HEART MOVES ABOUT
There is the meandering water on the Nanyang slope
Water moves about while the wind is blowing
She has hairy eyes and a small mouth
Her heart moves about when she is talking
南阳坡在东乡自治县,有渠水灌溉东乡人民的田地。“风刮时水动弹着哩”,“说话时心动弹着哩”,歌曲歌颂国家对少数人民的关怀,同时也流淌着爱情。如此交织的情感和画面,确实妙趣横生。
94.你我(哈)没想上半天
尕拉鸡飞过三架山
野鸡娃没飞过半山
我想你着年对年
你我(哈)没想上半天
YOU SHOULDN"T MISS ME HALF A DAY
Gala chicken flies over three mountains
Wild chicken doesn"t fly over half a mountain
I missed you year by year
You shouldn"t miss me half a day
爱情中的怨言有时会成为兴奋剂,怨言也会喷出幸福之花。half a day=half ofa day。
95.心拉斜是不管了
十字当街牛拉车
牛拉不动着撂下了
你把阿哥的心拉斜
心拉斜是不管了
YOU DON"T CARE A BIT
Cow-drawn carriage is on the cross-road,
Cow doesn"t pull it and puts it down.
I have been led astray by you,
You don"t care a bit.
“心拉斜”语言生动、形象,为了爱情,终日神魂颠倒。有生活画面。
96.脸蛋上那来的泪水
天没有云彩雨没有下
牡丹上哪来的露水
爹没打来娘没骂
脸蛋上哪来的泪水
