The Last Goodbye from The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies

The Last Goodbye

song and lyrics by Billy Boyd Chinese translation by Ying Hattie Wang

"The Last Goodbye"

最后的道别

I saw the light fade from the sky On the wind I heard a sigh As the snowflakes cover My fallen brothers I will say this last goodbye

看着天边日光褪去

我听到风中一声叹息

望着飘落的雪花

掩埋我逝去的兄弟

我不得不说出这最后的别离 Night is now falling So ends this day The road is now calling And I must away

夜在降临

征程也已宁

现在，回家的路在召唤我

我也必须离开这里 Over hill and under tree Through lands where never light has shone By silver streams that run down to the sea

翻过山丘、越过丛林

穿过阳光不曾照耀的土地

望着银溪，向大海奔去

Under cloud, beneath the stars Over snow and winter's morn I turn at last to paths that lead home 顶着云彩、披着星辉

翻过雪山，走出寒风的哀嚎

我终于朝着归家的路走去

And though where the road then takes me, I cannot tell We came all this way But now comes the day To bid you farewell 可是，这路

我竟不知会将我引去哪里

我们征了好远，逐了好久

我们的情谊也早已升迎

但，这一时刻还是到来

我不得不跟你们道声：永别

Many places I have been Many sorrows I have seen But I don't regret Nor will I forget All who took that road with me 多少地方我曾到过

多少悲伤我曾看过

但，我不后悔

也永远不会忘记

曾和我肩并肩的你

Night is now falling So ends this day The road is now calling And I must away 夜色在降临

征程也已宁

现在，回家的路在召唤我

我也必须离开这里

Over hill, and under tree Through lands where never light has shone By silver streams that run down to the sea 翻过山丘、越过丛林

穿过阳光不曾照耀的土地

望着银溪，向大海奔去

To these memories I will hold With your blessing I will go To turn at last to paths that lead home

这些记忆，我永记心里

带着你们的祝福，我离开这里

转过这最后一个弯

我终于朝着归家的路走去 And though where the road then takes me, I cannot tell We came all this way But now comes the day To bid you farewell

可是，这路

我竟不知会将我引去哪里

我们征了好远，逐了好久

我们的情谊也早已升迎

但，这一时刻还是到来

我不得不跟你们道声：永别

I bid you all a very fond farewell

我不得不跟你们珍重的道声：永别

Ever since I heard this song in the cinema, I can't let it off my mind. Now, whenever I read the lyrics, I can imgaine the misty mountain, fangorn forest and elvin realm appearing in front of my eyes.

A 14-year movie journey, I guess it's hard to just let it go. So, I used my profession and translated the lyrics into my mother tongue as a tribute to The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings.

I then sent a tweet with a screenshot of the translation to Billy Boyd to thank him for the beautiful song, and guess what? He kindly retweeted my tweet. I feel so rewarded and happy.
