兩個多月沒有譯過詩歌,是時候要復出喇!一來就要向難度挑戰!一直都很想重譯《恩光歌》,只覺這首兒童詩歌的旋律和節奏其實可以編成很rock的,唱起來蠻有勁。但要把dssssdrdtt這首句填得協音,實在超難!卒之弄了這個出來,略嫌文皺皺,但幾已耗盡海牛微末的功力。
《主要我們如光》
Words by Susan Bogert Warner
Music by Edwin Othello Excell

點起這燭火
發光潔又亮
主要我們如光
輝照夜半央
世間漆黑一片
待我光照
你我去朝自家
將真光照
Jesus bids us shine,
With a pure, clear light,
Like a little candle,
Burning in the night.
In this world is darkness,
So let us shine–
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.點起這燭火
發出主光輝
幾時我暗無光
主看透徹底
祂於高天俯察
望我光照
你我去朝自家
將真光照
Jesus bids us shine,
First of all for Him;
Well He sees and knows it,
If our light grows dim;
He looks down from heaven,
To see us shine–
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.點起這燭火
照通遠或近
黑暗重重圍繞
普世罪已深
充斥貪心、悲痛
我當光照
你我去朝自家
將真光照
Jesus bids us shine,
Then, for all around
Many kinds of darkness
In this world are found –
Sin, and want, and sorrow;
So we must shine,
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.
