A Song of the Road/Robert Louis Stevenson翻訳三日目

Book I. In EnglishⅡ
A Song of the RoadFrom Underwoods
Robert Louis Stevenson

The gauger walked with willing foot,
And aye the gauger played the flute;
And what should Master Gauger play
But Over the hills and far away?
そのは、意欲的な足取りで歩いた
そして何時も、その測量士は、フル一トゥを吹いた
名人測量士が、何を吹奏すべきか、
何れにせよ、丘を越え、更に遥か彼方？

Whene'er I buckle on my pack
And foot it gaily in the track,
O pleasant gauger, long since dead,
I hear you fluting on ahead.
僕は、荷物を締金で締め
その場で、楽しげに踊る
オゥ陽気な測量士よ、死んでから久しい
僕は、行く手に、貴方が
フル―トゥを何時までも吹くのを聞いている

You go with me the self-same way --
The self-same air for me you play;
For I do think and so do you
It is the tune to travel to.
貴方は、他にないのこの道を僕と一緒に進む
他にないこの曲を僕の為に貴方は吹奏する
僕が思い起こすと君を思う
それは、旅する節（ふし）

For who would gravely set his face
To go to this or t'other place?
There's nothing under Heav'n so blue
That's fairly worth the travelling to.

On every hand the roads begin,
And people walk with zeal therein;
But wheresoe'er the highways tend,
Be sure there's nothing at the end.

Then follow you, wherever hie
The travelling mountains of the sky,
Or let the streams in civil mode
Direct your choice upon a road;

For one and all, or high or low,
Will lead you where you wish to go;
And one and all go night and day
Over the hills and far away!
