A Survivor from Warsaw for Narrator, Men's Chorus and Orchestra, Op. 46歌詞

***男聲朗誦***
I cannot remember everything. 一切我都記不清了。
I must have been unconscious most of the time. 在大部分時(shí)候我一定喪失了意識。
I remember only the grandiose moment 我只記得那個(gè)莊嚴(yán)時(shí)刻，
when they all started to sing, as if prearranged, 他們像有預(yù)謀似的開始唱歌，
the old prayer they had neglected for so many years 唱那支被他們遺忘多年的
--the forgotten creed! 古老經(jīng)文歌！
But I have no recollection how I got underground 但是我不記得我是怎樣來到地下，
to live in the sewers of Warsaw for so long a time. 在華沙的下水道里住了這么長時(shí)間。
The day began as usual: 那天照常開始：
Reveille when it still was dark. 天還黑時(shí)就吹響了起床號。
"Get out!" “快出去！”
Whether you slept or whether worries kept you awake the whole night. 不管你睡著過還是愁得徹夜未眠。
You had been separated from your children, 你和孩子、
from your wife, from your parents. 妻子、父母離散了，
You don't know what happened to them... 不知道他們的下落，
How could you sleep? 你怎么睡得著呢？
The trumpets again 喇叭又吹響了
-- "Get out! The sergeant will be furious!" ──“快出去！要不然軍士會(huì)大發(fā)雷霆！”
They came out; 他們出來了；
some very slowly, the old ones, the sick ones; 老人和病人動(dòng)作非常慢；
some with nervous agility. 有的人神經(jīng)兮兮的飛快。
They fear the sergeant. 他們害怕軍士。
They hurry as much as they can. 他們盡可能地快。
In vain! 不行！
Much too much noise, much too much commotion! 太吵太吵了，太亂太亂了！
And not fast enough! 還不夠快！
The Feldwebel shouts: 軍士大叫：
（德語）"Achtung! Stillgestanden! Na wird's mal! “注意！安靜！你們準(zhǔn)備好了，
Oder soll ich mit dem Jewehrkolben nachhelfen? 還是要我的槍托給你們幫忙？
Na jut; wenn ihrs durchaus haben wollt!" 那樣也好，看來你們真的要它！”
The sergeant and his subordinates hit everyone: 軍士和他手下的士兵毆打每一個(gè)人：
young or old, strong or sick, quiet, guilty or innocent ... 老的，少的，沉默的，多嘴的，清白的，有罪的。
It was painful to hear them groaning and moaning. 我痛苦地聽著他們哀號呻吟。
I heard it though I had been hit very hard, 我也挨了重重的毆打，
so hard that I could not help falling down. 打得太狠了，我倒在地上。
We all on the ground 我們還得再站起來，
who could not stand up were then beaten over the head... 不能站起來的就被揍腦袋。
I must have been unconscious. 我一定昏過去了。
The next thing I heard was a soldier saying: 我記得的下一件事是一個(gè)士兵說：
"They are all dead!" “他們都死了”，
Whereupon the sergeant ordered to do away with us. 于是軍士命令干掉我們。
There I lay aside half conscious. 我半清醒地躺在一邊，
It had become very still 周圍變得寂靜
--fear and pain. ──充滿恐怖。
Then I heard the sergeant shouting: "Abz?hlen!(德語)" 然后我聽見軍士喊：“報(bào)數(shù)！”
They start slowly and irregularly: one, two, three, four... 開始他們還慢條斯理：一、二、三、四……
-- "Achtung!" The sergeant shouted again, “注意！”軍士又喊，
(德語)"Rascher! Nochmals von vorn anfange! “快點(diǎn)！重來！
In einer Minute will ich wissen, 一分鐘內(nèi)我要知道
wieviele ich zur Gaskammer abliefere! Abz?hlen!" 要把多少人送去毒氣室！報(bào)數(shù)！”
They began again, first slowly: 他們重來，起初很慢：
one, two, three, four, 一、二、三、四……
became faster and faster, 后來越來越快，
so fast that it finally sounded like a stampede of wild horses, 最后快得竟像野馬奔跑，
and all of a sudden, in the middle of it, 突然，報(bào)數(shù)聲停止，
they began singing the /Shema Yisroel/. 他們開始唱起《傾聽吧，以色列人》。
***男聲合唱《傾聽吧，以色列人》（原文為希伯來語）***
Sh'ma Yisraeil, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad. 傾聽吧，以色列人：上帝是我們的造物主，主是獨(dú)一無二的。
V'ahavta eit Adonai Elohecha b'chawl l'vav'cha uv'chawl nafsh'cha, 你們要盡心、盡情、盡力
uv'chawl m'odecha. 愛主，愛你們的上帝。
V'hayu had'varim haeileh, 你們要把我今日授與你們的誡命，
asher anochi m'tsav'cha hayom, al l'vavecha. 牢記在心。
V'shinantam l'vanecha, v'dibarta bam b'shivt'cha b'veitecha, 要用這誡命教導(dǎo)你們的子孫；
uvlecht'cha vaderech, uv'shawchb'cha uvkumecha. 無論你們居家還是外出，
Ukshartam l'ot al yadecha, v'hayu l'totafot bein einecha. 無論你們睡下還是醒來，
Uchtavtam, al m'zuzot beitecha, uvisharecha. 都要時(shí)時(shí)念誦這誡命。
