全专辑歌词翻译
Yes - Close To The Edge
靠近边缘
译者：李泽华
注：Close To The Edge在PA排行榜上以4.65的高分排名第一！同名曲中的管风琴演奏实在令人印象深刻，它是以黑塞的《悉达多》为背景的概念歌曲，我认为表达的是消除主客观对立、进入以永恒的角度看万物，歌中有颇多语句（虽然Yes的歌词多考虑的是词的发音，也就是作为乐器的一种，而不是优先考虑词意，造成翻译难度实很大）与《悉达多》相呼应，建议感兴趣的可以去看看黑塞的这本以释迦摩尼为主人公的小说，个人认为写得很棒，虽然那时候黑塞的思想还不成熟，至少从美感来说是一流的。PS，Camel也考虑过以黑塞的《荒原狼》为背景做一张概念专辑，最终做了《雪鹅》，在这里强推一下赫尔曼·黑塞，我挚爱的作家，除了这两本外还推荐《德米安》、《纳尔齐斯与歌尔德蒙》、《玻璃球游戏》。

背景导读
1.The lyrical content became a kind of dream sequence in a way. The end verse is a dream that I had a long time ago about passing on from this world to another world, yet feeling so fantastic about it that death never frightened me ever since.
2.Jon Anderson mentions that the song—indeed, the whole album—is inspired by the Hindu/Buddhist mysticism of Hermann Hesse's book Siddhartha.[2] "[We] did one album called Close to the Edge. [It] was based on the Siddhartha... You always come back down to the river. [You] know, all the rivers come to the same ocean. That was the basic idea. And so we made a really beautiful album[....]"
————————————————
————————————————
2.And You And I
你和我
"And You and I" is the second track from the album Close to the Edge by the progressive rock band Yes. The song is just over ten minutes in length and consists of four movements. The first and second parts of the song were released as a single edit and reached #42 on the BillboardHot 100.[1]
Introducing the song live in 1972, Anderson said they called it ①"The Protest Song" when they were making the Close to the Edgealbum.[2]
TV producer and writer Joss Whedon allegedly named his production company Mutant Enemy Productions after the line in this song.[3]

注：①这里指的“抗议歌曲”尚缺少资料去研究和查证。
②翻译自Yes乐队专辑《Close to the edge》,转载请联系本人
③红色标记为无法翻译通顺的地方，第一次the spiral aim使我想起了叶 芝的“旋体”，泛指一种难以阻止的前进冲动;they won't tell you这里我猜想是用了相反表义的英文语法，类似于“We don’t need no education”，并且结合下半段歌词，应能断定这是表示肯定而不是否定。
④第三部分和第四部分的翻译，由于涉及到一些宗教内容，是我能力所不及的地方，如有错误请指出，也欢迎提供相关联的宗教部分的资料。
⑤这篇歌词的大意已译出，可能有些朋友会问我这篇歌词想表达作者的什么情感，我的理解是，“you and me”指的是狭义上的我与广义上的其余同胞，这首歌呼吁人类去保持一种“同一化”的形式，因为这是一种促使人类自身命运向前发展的一种充要条件,“you and me”指的是狭义上的我与广义上的其余同胞；同时，这首歌很明显表现了对于精神生活的赞美：“Coins and crosses，Never know their fruitless worth”，以及对于政治生活的反感和物质生活的地位的一种反思，对于真理的真挚热爱，我们与母亲的脐带断开后，再次与地球的命运相关联，寻找真理的方式，是由圣人（The Preacher, The Teacher）引导，从大门处向外探寻而获得真理的;表达了Anderson的一种对人类的命运的美好祝愿。

背景导读
1.The lyrical content became a kind of dream sequence in a way. The end verse is a dream that I had a long time ago about passing on from this world to another world, yet feeling so fantastic about it that death never frightened me ever since.
2.Jon Anderson mentions that the song—indeed, the whole album—is inspired by the Hindu/Buddhist mysticism of Hermann Hesse's book Siddhartha.[2] "[We] did one album called Close to the Edge. [It] was based on the Siddhartha... You always come back down to the river. [You] know, all the rivers come to the same ocean. That was the basic idea. And so we made a really beautiful album[....]"

2.And You And I
你和我
"And You and I" is the second track from the album Close to the Edge by the progressive rock band Yes. The song is just over ten minutes in length and consists of four movements. The first and second parts of the song were released as a single edit and reached #42 on the BillboardHot 100.[1]
Introducing the song live in 1972, Anderson said they called it ①"The Protest Song" when they were making the Close to the Edgealbum.[2]
TV producer and writer Joss Whedon allegedly named his production company Mutant Enemy Productions after the line in this song.[3]

注：①这里指的“抗议歌曲”尚缺少资料去研究和查证。
②翻译自Yes乐队专辑《Close to the edge》,转载请联系本人
③红色标记为无法翻译通顺的地方，第一次the spiral aim使我想起了叶 芝的“旋体”，泛指一种难以阻止的前进冲动;they won't tell you这里我猜想是用了相反表义的英文语法，类似于“We don’t need no education”，并且结合下半段歌词，应能断定这是表示肯定而不是否定。
④第三部分和第四部分的翻译，由于涉及到一些宗教内容，是我能力所不及的地方，如有错误请指出，也欢迎提供相关联的宗教部分的资料。
⑤这篇歌词的大意已译出，可能有些朋友会问我这篇歌词想表达作者的什么情感，我的理解是，“you and me”指的是狭义上的我与广义上的其余同胞，这首歌呼吁人类去保持一种“同一化”的形式，因为这是一种促使人类自身命运向前发展的一种充要条件,“you and me”指的是狭义上的我与广义上的其余同胞；同时，这首歌很明显表现了对于精神生活的赞美：“Coins and crosses，Never know their fruitless worth”，以及对于政治生活的反感和物质生活的地位的一种反思，对于真理的真挚热爱，我们与母亲的脐带断开后，再次与地球的命运相关联，寻找真理的方式，是由圣人（The Preacher, The Teacher）引导，从大门处向外探寻而获得真理的;表达了Anderson的一种对人类的命运的美好祝愿。
