To Be By Your Side—法国电影Le peuple migrateur《鸟的迁徙》中的主题曲,其实这部记录片本身就值得大书特书,仅看看摄制者为了影片的拍摄付出了怎样的艰辛,就足以让我们对其肃然起敬。导演雅克.贝汉(JACQUES PERRIN)先生历时四年,横跨五大洲,生活在飞行的候鸟群中,与它们一同飞越大地和海洋,选择了50多个国家中的175个自然景地,拍摄了460多公里长的胶片,动用了17个世界上最优秀的飞行员和一个科学考察队,平均每天都有600人在为此工作。 影片无论是形式还是内容都近乎完美,至少它可以告诉好多自以为已经麻木的人:还好,我不只能为在工资单上看到的数字激动不已,还可以被诸如承诺之类的“暗物质”所撼动。“鸟的迁徙是一个关于承诺的故事”--影片开篇第一句话很容易令人保持长久的记忆。总觉得神圣的事物一定会带有某种沉重的悲伤,让我们只管痛苦而虔诚的追求。la promesse du retour et tenue.
Across the oceans, Across the seas, 远涉重洋,横渡大海, Over forests of blackened trees.俯瞰因飞越而遮蔽的森林, Through valleys so still we dare not breathe, 经过静寂的令我们屏息的幽谷 To be by your side.只为回到你身边。 Over the shifting desert plains, 经过沦为荒芜的平原, Across mountains all in flames.穿越正被炙烤的山脉, Through howling winds and driving rains, 搏击在咆哮与推进的风雨中, To be by your side.只为回到你身边。 Every mile and every year for every one a little tear.过往中每一哩每一载都会有孤泪滑落, I cannot explain this, Dear, I will not even try.我根本无法解释,亲爱的,我甚至不会尝试, Into the night as the stars collide,入夜黑暗后如流星般撞碰, Across the borders that divide forests of stone standing petrified,途经山林交界伫立到僵冻, To be by your side.只为回到你身边。 Every mile and every year, For every one a single tear. 过往中每一哩每一载都会有孤泪滑落, I cannot explain this, Dear, I will not even try. 我根本无法解释,亲爱的,我甚至不会尝试, For I know one thing, Love comes on a wing.因为我坚信一件事情:爱就在羽翼上, For tonight I will be by your side. But tomorrow I will fly.只为今晚能守候在你的身边,即便明朝又将飞翔。 From the deepest ocean To the highest peak,由最深的海洋到最高的山颠 Through the frontiers of your sleep.掠过你睡梦的边缘 Into the valley where we dare not speak, 穿过险峻的让我们噤声的峡谷 To be by your side. 只为回到你的身边 Across the endless wilderness where all the beasts bow down their heads.飞越一望无垠万兽顿首的草原 Darling I will never rest till I am by your side.亲爱的,我将永无懈怠直至回到你身边 Every mile and every year, Time and Distance disappear过往中每一哩每一载,时间和距离都在不停的消逝 I cannot explain this.Dear No, I will not even try. 我根本无法解释,亲爱的,我甚至不会尝试 And I know just one thing, Love comes on a wing and tonight I will be by your side.而我只坚信一件事情:爱就在羽翼上并且就在今夜我就将守护在你身旁 But tomorrow I will fly away, Love rises with the day and tonight I may be by your side.即便明朝我又将飞翔,爱会与日俱增而今夜我就会守护在你身旁 But tomorrow I will fly, Tomorrow I will fly, Tomorrow I will fly.即便我明朝又将飞翔,明朝又将飞翔,明朝又将飞翔。
