Wayfaring Stranger [远行的过客]
||
This is a happy story of a man, hiking through his life to meet his death, so that he could reunite with his deceased mother. Below is my vocal cover of this song. Enjoy, or endure, whichever you choose.
这是个幸福的故事。故事的主角历尽千辛，跋涉完漫漫人生路，在生命尽头与他已逝的母亲重逢。下面是我翻唱的版本，请不吝吐槽，谢谢。
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
我是个远行的过客
Traveling through this world alone
独自行走天地之间
There is no sickness, toil nor danger
那片没有疾病，劳苦和险恶的福地
In that fair land to which I go
是我正要前往的目的
I'm going home to see my mother
我要回家去，与母亲相聚
I'm going home, no more to roam
我要回家去，从此不再流离
I am just going over Jordan
我就要越过约旦河
I am just going over home
我就快回到我家去
I know dark clouds will hover on me,
我知道乌云会盘旋头顶
I know my pathway is rough and steep
我也知道前路坎坷崎岖
But golden fields lie out before me
但金黄的土地就在这前面
Where weary eyes no more will weep
我疲惫的双眼从此不再哭泣
I'm going home to see my mother
我要回家去，与母亲相聚
I'm going home, no more to roam
我要回家去，从此不再流离
I am just going over Jordan
我就要越过约旦河
I am just going over home
我就快回到我家去
I'll soon be free from every trial
对我的考验都快接近尾声
This form shall rest beneath the sun
这副躯壳也会在阳光下永息
I'll drop the cross of self-denial
我会扔掉克己的十字架
And enter in that home with God
与神一同进入那圣洁之地
I'm going home to see my mother
我要回家去，与母亲相聚
I'm going home, no more to roam
我要回家去，从此不再流离
I am just going over Jordan
我就要越过约旦河
I am just going over home
我就快回到我家去

- i was moved by your deep affection for your mom, by your singing and the lyrics. i feel like helping you in some way, but i know it should be you yourself who can truly help. as you must know, one can not revive. i believe i know how you feel, for both of my parents died in recent years and i also kind of could not come out of the sad mood. however, now i realize life should go on whatever happens. we have to face reality. we just can't escape reality. cheer up my friend!

- she must be a great women, to be remembered like that. but i doubt that she would be happy about such a reunion. if a mother greet her son in heaven, she would hope to see a happy, contented and very old man who beaming at her: Hi, Mum.
