爱之挽歌

《Nimue's Lament》
 
Somewhere in the darkest night
Peace will come, as the spirit flies
As you weave a spell, by another me
Snow falls with the summer rain
 
Then I will come to you my love
With the passing of the days
(Then) I will set you free each time
Your heart is bound in chains
Innocents and wiser men
(Will) somehow be the same
(And) You and I will take our place in time
We'll find a way to fly
 
Far beyond the crystal sea
I can hear all your whispered dreams
(And) the endless signs of the ones who love
They live on, in the stars above
 
Then I will come to you my love
With the passing of the days
Then I will set you free each time
Your heart is bound in chains
Innocents and wiser men
Are just one and the same
You and I will take our place in time
(We'll) find a way to fly
 
I will come to you my love
With the passing of the days
I will set you free each time
Your heart is bound in chains
Innocents and wiser men
Are all who will remain
(And) You and I will take our place in time
(We'll) find a way to fly
 
《爱之挽歌》
 
在那黑夜的深处 某一个地方
精灵飞舞
宁静终将来临
用爱的名义 编一个魔咒
雪落下来
和着夏雨飘零
 
而我将奔向你 我的爱
穿越重重岁月
打开你心的枷锁
飞向自由彼岸
单纯的睿智的人啊
其实为一体
你和我
终有一天
将抵达那个地方
找到一种方式 飞翔
 
隔着遥远的水晶之海
我听到 你梦中的呢喃
那无尽的爱的告白
象繁星 在上方永恒
 
而我将奔向你 我的爱
穿越重重岁月
打开你心的枷锁
飞向那自由彼岸
单纯的睿智的人啊
超越尘世而永存
你和我
终有一天
将抵达那个地方
以一种飞翔的方式 飞翔
 

*译注：
歌词的翻译比较难，除了信达雅，还要考虑它的音韵和谐，好听的歌，其歌词常用相同的尾音，翻译起来，在韵脚难免也得留意。此歌源于亚瑟王传奇中墨林的凄美爱情故事，歌词意境深远，如诗如画，配上清绝的弦乐、如泣如诉的天籁歌声，堪称歌中绝品。我试着翻译歌词，但笔力有限，还是难以译出其飞越红尘的灵韵和超乎生死的深情。有兴趣者可仔细对照着倾听我博客音乐中的《Nimue's Lament》。
