Happy（李衷）的美篇 聆听原唱 欣赏译词(226)I Don't Know How To Love Him

Happy（李衷）

　　英国有部音乐剧《耶稣基督万世巨星》。剧中的选曲《I Don't Know How To Love Him》，由汀姆·莱斯撰词，安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯谱曲。

该剧是22岁的韦伯和26岁的莱斯于1970年共同创作的第一部搖滚歌剧，但因找不到将作品推上舞台的制作人，只好先把剧中歌曲录制成专辑唱片。未料出版后大受欢迎，畅销国内外，并被评为金唱片。次年，这部以爵士乐风格和搖滚乐语言创作的音乐剧在纽约百老汇和伦敦西区相继首演。

该剧的题材取自《圣经》故事，叙述耶稣基督最后7天的遭遇。耶稣救苦救难的善行遭到官吏和祭司们的嫉妒。他们串通一气，用30枚银币买通耶稣的门徒犹大来指认耶稣。耶稣受尽凌辱和折磨后，被钉上十字架。

在两位创作者的笔下，耶稣不再是头顶有光环的神，而是有着自己情感的凡人。他清楚等待自己的是死亡。他恐惧苦闷，不想死去，却又不得不屈服于命中注定的安排。这部作品是对《圣经》人物的内心世界、人性本质、人际关系进行探索。

这出令人耳目一新的搖滚音乐剧上演后反响强烈。剧情中的质疑与反叛，无疑是对传统的宣战，自然招来许多宗教团体的抗议。但无论如何，通过这一令人大开眼界的作品，劳埃德·韦伯开始令人刮目相看，成为当代手屈一指的音乐大师。

剧中有个人物叫玛丽·玛格·达丽尼。她原是个放荡不羁的女人，后在耶稣的感化下有了转变，经常侍奉在耶稣左右，对他产生了难以言表的敬畏和爱恋情感。当耶稣被判处死刑后，群情激荡，局面混乱。玛丽独自一人唱起剧中最脍炙人口的《I Don't Know How To Love Him》。

I Don't Know How To Love Him

不 知 如 何 把 他 爱

音乐剧《耶稣基督万世巨星》插曲

译者 李 衷

I don't know how to love him,

what to do, how to move him.

I've been changed, yes, really changed.

In these past few days,

when I've seen myself,

I seem like someone else.

不知如何把他爱

如何感动他心怀

容颜改，我换骨夺胎

这几天来

发现我自己

已变故我形骸

I don't know how to take this.

I don't see why he moves me.

He's a man, he's just a man,

and I've had so many men before,

in very many ways,

he's just one more.

不知如何承受这份爱

他缘何让我痴呆

尽管他 肉身凡胎

曾经交往的众多人

可谓千奇百怪

他又添情债

Should I bring him down?

Should I scream and shout?

Should I speak of love,

let my feelings out?

I never thought I'd come to this.

What's it all about?

是让他失望

还是我呼喊

道出我情意

倾诉我衷肠

我从未料到会如此

纠结彷徨

Don't you think it's rather funny,

I should be in this position?

I'm the one who's always been

so calm, so cool, no lover's fool.

Running ev'ry show,

he scares me so.

难道你不认为荒唐

我竟落得这般下场

我生来就这个样

从容冷淡，情场傻蛋

他掌控一切

让我惊慌



I never thought I'd come to this.

What's it all about?

Yet, if he said he loved me.

I'd be lost, I'd be frightened.

I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.

I'd turn my head, I'd back away.

I wouldn't want to know he scares me so.

I want him so, I love him so.

我从未料到会如此

纠结彷徨

他若把爱向我言表

我会迷惘，我会惊惶

我难抵挡，也难对抗

我扭过头，转身退让

我不求知真相

他让我恐慌

挂肚牵肠

爱他没商量
