01. The Last Snowfall 最后一场雪
If this were the last snowfall
No more halos on evergreens
If this were the last glimpse of winter
What would these eyes see?
假如这是最后一场雪
常青树上不再有光晕
假如这是冬季的最后一瞥
这双眼睛会看到什么？
If this were the last slow curling
Of your fingers in my palm
If this were the last I felt you breathing
How would I carry on?
假如这是最后一次
你的手指轻挠我的手心
假如这是最后一次感受你的呼吸
我该如何活下去？
This is not the last snowfall
Not our last embrace
But if I were that kind of grateful
What would I try to say?
这不是最后一场雪
不是我们的最后一次相拥
然而倘若我是那样地惜福
我又会想说些什么？

【译者手记】之前竟疏忽了，后得高人指点才注意到——第一段“春天”中的动词都是现在时，而第二段“秋天”的却是过去时，原来是Vienna惯用的时空交错手法。据一些人分析，这首歌讲的并不是真正的战争，而是一对夫妻的感情破裂。他们曾发生激烈的争执，现在硝烟早已散去，却再也回不到从前。他们或许已经离了婚成为普通朋友，或许仍名义上一起生活，但这表面的和平已不是“战前”的那份纯真了。



僵尸好久了，努力复活中……
又不想漏掉原文的每一个元素，又想要连贯通顺，翻译真是件纠结的事情……

【道听途说】 这首歌的背景是，Vienna听了奥巴马的竞选演说以后很激动，仿佛看到水深火热的美国有了大救星……
【译者手记】 我相信Vienna不是五美分党……即使真是的话，看看人家的措辞，跟天朝的赞歌对比一下。



08. Augustine 奥古斯丁
Oh my god
哦，我的天
What have I done
我做了什么
Chasing some mirage in my Mojave sun

Bare and blinking as the day that I was born
赤裸，闪着光，如初生之时
Bells in spires of China white

Ring for an Augustine tonight
今夜为一位奥古斯丁鸣响
Oh now, I'm breaking down, breaking down
此刻，我正在崩溃，正在崩溃
Oh now, I'm breaking down, breaking down
此刻，我正在崩溃，正在崩溃
Oh now, I'm breaking down
此刻我正在崩溃
Oh let me be

Let me be your Augustine

Every illusion in between
其间的每个幻象
All the lies that I have seen

Oh let me be your Augustine
就让我成为你的奥古斯丁

【道听途说】 圣奥古斯丁成长于基督教的环境中，却一度叛离，后因遭遇某种困境（歌词中的“breaking down”指此意）而顿悟人生应有比个人享乐更高的追求，从此忠于基督教，并留下珍贵的著作。Vienna称自己一直无法理解那些宗教信徒们何以能够对看不见的事物如此坚信，但希望能有机会亲身体验这种皈依的心路历程。

【译者手记】 三十年河东三十年河西，当曾经的优越者沦为向曾经的卑微者乞食，会是怎样一番图景，真是富于哲理的想象。这些突破常规的题材正是我认为Vienna超越其他歌手之处。我本人对这首歌描写的世态非常有切身之感触，详情请见我的帖子“◆◆Vienna Teng◇◆◇◆ 110222｜感悟◇ No Gringo：优越者的自省”

12. St. Stephen's Cross 圣史蒂芬的十字架
He was there the night the wall came down
墙倒下的那夜，他在场
He lost her in the endless crowd
他在无边的人群中把她弄丢了
In the shadow of St. Stephen's cross
在圣史蒂芬的十字架阴影下
He sent cries aloft for his fellow man
他高声呼喊着同伴
His fingers slipping from her hand
他的手指从她手中滑脱
The rain clouds prowling overhead
雨云在头顶徘徊
She was there the night the wall came down
墙倒下的那夜，她在场
She faded into that newborn crowd
她消失在新生的人群中
Like a warning of what could be lost
就像在警告将会失去什么
Through the perforated night she ran
她奔跑在穿孔的夜色中
Her fingers slipping from his hand
她的手指从他手中滑脱
And she breathed in freed0m before daylight tread
她在黎明踏入之前呼吸到了自油
（待续）

（接上帖）
They were there the night the wall was drowned
墙被淹没的那夜，他们在场
In the surging of that tidal crowd
在人群如潮的涌动中
An old world made new
一个旧世界被变成了新的
On the same holy ground
在同一片神圣的土地上
She found him standing, looking lost
她发现他伫立着，怅然若失
In the shadow of St. Stephen's cross
在圣史蒂芬的十字架阴影下
And he closed his eyes and heard no sound
他闭上眼睛，什么也听不到
But her breathing warm against his mouth
只有她呼出的温暖气息在他嘴边

【道听途说】圣史蒂芬教堂位于维也纳，恰好与Vienna的名字相合。但实际上这个地方并未发生过歌词中描写的故事。显然歌中的“墙”是一件类似于柏林墙、代表着被摒弃的旧时代的事物，只是一种比喻，大家懂的。
