1、夏洛特夫人（The Lady of Shalott）
(, 下载次数: 74)
简介：
故事开始于亚瑟王与圆桌武士的时代。夏洛特是一位美丽的女郎，住在一个离亚瑟王王宫不远的一个孤岛上的城堡里。仙女告诉她，她生来被诅咒，永远不能离开城堡，离开会带给她可怕的厄运。究竟是什么，却没有详述。夏洛特有一面镜子，这面镜子是她生活的重要部分，每天，她在城堡的塔楼上从这面镜子里看身后的世界，这是她唯一与世界沟通的工具。她从镜子里看到进进出出王宫的骑士和平民，也常常看到情侣在河边散步。她就把看到的场景用充满魔力的织布机织成挂毯，边织边歌唱。外面的人们常常听到她的歌声隐约响起，却从未见过她。
一天，圆桌骑士中的第一骑士兰斯洛特（Lancelot）的身影在镜子中出现了。夏洛特一看见他，便无可救药地爱上了他。她决定要去王宫找兰斯洛特，就在她刚刚踏出城堡的门槛的时候，镜子突然碎了，她知道她的厄运就要来临了。但为了向往的爱情，她选择了坦然面对，她要离开囚禁她的湖，乘船划向那个卡米洛城。如果能够见到他心爱的兰斯洛特，死又何惜。生命，不就是在追求之中完整的么？她把亲手编织的美丽挂毯铺在船上，松开缆绳，唱着生命中最后的悲歌，她任由小船顺流而下，穿过黑暗的森林，向着卡米洛城。
这是一次注定永远没有出口和尽头的黑暗旅行。这个为了向往的爱情而解下系在柳下小船顺着河流漂流而去的美丽姑娘，最终死在了船上。在黑暗的旅途中，她雪白的衣襟在风雨中飘摇，她最后的歌声穿过了山丘与原野，在卡米洛城久久飘荡。在最后的时刻她在船头刻下了自己的名字。她的歌声渐渐微弱，她的眼眸也随着黑夜降临，逐渐黯淡至无。

翻译是网上找的，有许多地方个人不大同意，结果时间过时不给修改了....这里加几句比较明显的错误：
And down the river's dim expanse
愈顺流而下，阴暗愈扩散
...........................
"Tirra Lirra," by the river
“Tirra Lirra”河边传来了歌声
Sang Sir Lancelot.
那是兰斯洛特骑士在低唱
.............................
And they crossed themselves for fear
他们因敬畏而胸划十字
...........................
时间有限，不细改了，若还有错，也就只能这样了。真奇怪，这首诗非常出名，在英国也是课本内容，为什么国内没有翻译大家来翻译呢？一个遗憾啊...
这个版本的歌词在原诗基础上有修改。

And he rode with a jeweled twinkle--

His rapier hilt a-twinkle--
他*違法信息*的枪把在闪闪发光，
His pistol butts a-twinkle, under thejeweled sky.
他的剑柄在那镶满了宝石的蓝空之下闪亮。
Over the cobbles he clattered and clashedin the dark inn-yard,
圆石上答答又各各，他在阴暗的小院骑过，
He tapped with his whip on the shutters,but all was locked and barred,
他扬鞭轻叩那小窗，但一切都已紧闭深锁；
He whistled a tune to the window, and whoshould be waiting there
他个小窗吹一支口哨，还有谁会在那儿守候，
But the landlord's black-eyed daughter--

Bess, the landlord's daughter--
贝丝，那店主的黑眼睛女儿，
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her longblack hair.
正打个暗红的相思结在她那长长的乌发里头。
Dark in the dark old inn-yard astable-wicket creaked
在那阴暗而古老的院里，马厩的小门呀地开开，
Where Tim, the ostler listened--his facewas white and peaked--
那马夫铁姆正在偷听；他的脸是瘦削而又苍白；
His eyes were hollows of madness, his hairlike mouldy hay,

But he loved the landlord's daughter--

The landlord's black-eyed daughter;

Dumb as a dog he listened, and he heard therobber say:
他像条狗似地屏息静听，他听那强盗如此说道：
"One kiss, my bonny sweetheart; I'mafter a prize tonight,
「亲一亲，我的乖乖，我今夜要去劫一宗肥财，
But I shall be back with the yellow goldbefore the morning light.
但是在天亮之前，我就回来，带回来黄金块块；
Yet if they press me sharply, and harry methrough the day,
万一他们逼得我太紧，而且会把我整天地追逐，
Then look for me by moonlight,
那就在月光下等我回来，
Watch for me by moonlight,
在月光下望我回来，
I'll come to thee by moonlight, though hellshould bar the way."
我要在月光下回来见你，那怕是地狱挡住归路！」
He stood upright in the stirrups; he scarcecould reach her hand,
他在鞍蹬上站直了腰身，但是还够不着她的纤手，
But she loosened her hair in the casement!His face burnt like a brand
于是她在窗前松开了长发！他的脸像燃烧的木头，
As the sweet black waves of perfume cametumbling o'er his breast,
仰望那芬芳的乌发，像瀑布泻落在他的胸上；
Then he kissed its waves in the moonlight

And he tugged at his reins in the moonlight,and galloped away to the west.
然后在月光里他拉紧缰绳，答答地奔向西方。
He did not come in the dawning; he did notcome at noon.
破晓时不见他回来；到中午不见他回来；
And out of the tawny sunset, before therise of the moon,
但是在月亮上升之前，出自落日的昏霭，
When the road was a gypsy's ribbon over thepurple moor,

King George's men came marching, up to theold inn-door.
乔治王的官兵在疾进，疾进到古老旅店的门边。
They said no word to the landlord; theydrank his ale instead,
他们也不和店主说话，只是把他的麦酒欣赏，
But they gagged his daughter and bound herto the foot of her narrow bed.
他们塞住他女儿的嘴巴，绑她在小床的脚上；
Two of them knelt at her casement, withmuskets by their side;
两个兵跪守在她的窗前，把步*枪都架在身边！
There was Death at every window,
死神守住了每一扇窗口；
And Hell at one dark window,
地狱把昏暗的一扇把守；
For Bess could see, through her casement,the road that he would ride.
从她那昏暗的窗口贝丝能窥到他回来的路线。
They had bound her up at attention, withmany a sniggering jest!
他们把贝丝僵直地捆绑，一面又格格地把她嘲弄；
They had tied a rifle beside her, with thebarrel beneath her breast!
他们绑一根<敏感詞>在她身旁，把枪嘴顶住她的前胸！
"Now keep good watch!" and theykissed her. She heard the dead man say,
「留心去等吧！」他们吻她。她像是听死人吩咐：
"Look for me by moonlight,
「那就在月光下等我回来；
Watch for me by moonlight,
在月光下望我回来；
I'll come to thee by moonlight, though Hellshould bar the way."
我要在月光下回来见你，那怕是地狱挡住归路！」
She twisted her hands behind her, but allthe knots held good!
她用背后的纤手挣扎；但绳结儿都打得好紧！
She writhed her hands till her fingers werewet with sweat or blood!
她扭动双手，直扭得十指都染上汗水，血腥！
They stretched and strained in thedarkness, and the hours crawled by like years,
十指在暗处一缩又一伸，钟点像年代一样地爬，
Till, on the stroke of midnight,
直到钟敲十二下，
Cold on the stroke of midnight,
寒夜的钟敲十二下，
The tip of one finger touched it! Thetrigger at least was hers!
有一条指尖碰到了扳机，那扳机总算受制于她！
The tip of one finger touched it, shestrove no more for the rest;
有一条指尖碰到了扳机，她不再继续挣扎！
Up, she stood up at attention, with thebarrel beneath her breast.
她僵直地站住，那枪口还紧紧地顶在胸下，
She would not risk their hearing, she wouldnot strive again,
她不想再冒险，怕他们听见；她不再用力扭挣；
For the road lay bare in the moonlight,
因为大路坦露在月光下；
Blank and bare in the moonlight,
荒寂地坦露在月光下；
And the blood in her veins, in themoonlight, throbbed to her love's refrain.
月光下她的热血奔腾，和着她恋人答答的蹄声。
Tlot tlot, tlot tlot! Had they heard it?The horse-hooves, ringing clear;
特啦特啦，特啦特啦！他们听见了吗？那蹄声清越地飞扬；
Tlot tlot, tlot tlot, in the distance! Werethey deaf that they did not hear?
特啦特啦，特啦特啦！在远方？他们是耳聋听不见那声响？
Down the ribbon of moonlight, over the browof the hill,
沿着那月光的缎带骑下，越过了对面的山头，
The highwayman came riding--
那强盗骑着马儿狂奔，
Riding--riding--
狂奔，狂奔！
The redcoats looked to their priming! Shestood up straight and still.
红衣兵准备着火引！她站直了身体屏息静候！
Tlot tlot, in the frosty silence! Tlottlot, in the echoing night!
特啦特啦，那静夜的寒霜！特啦特啦，那静夜的回响！
Nearer he came and nearer! Her face waslike a light!
他一声响似一声地骑近！她的脸像一道燃烧的光芒！
Her eyes grew wide for a moment, she drewone last deep breath,
剎时她睁大了双眼；最后又深深地吸一口气，
Then her finger moved in the moonlight--
于是她手指在月光里扣放，
Her musket shattered the moonlight--
她的枪炸碎了月光，
Shattered her breast in the moonlight andwarned him--with her death.
炸碎了月光里自己的胸膛，拼了命教他警惕。
He turned, he spurred to the West; he didnot know who stood
他回头踢马驰向那西方；他不知是谁俯立在窗旁，
Bowed, with her head o'er the casement, drenchedin her own red blood!
满身都浴着鲜红的腥血，垂着头靠在那枪管之上！
Not till the dawn did he hear it, and hisface grew grey to hear

How Bess, the landlord's daughter,
贝丝，那店主的女儿，
The landlord's black-eyed daughter,
那店主的黑眼睛女儿，
Had watched for her love in the moonlight,and died in the darkness there.

Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking acurse to the sky,
回过身，他疯狂地踢马怒奔，又仰天厉声地咒骂，
With the white road smoking behind him andhis rapier brandished high!
他背后的白路扬起了灰尘，他高举宝剑舞得刷刷！
Blood-red were his spurs in the goldennoon, wine-red was his velvet coat
衬着那金黄的日午，血红的是他的马刺，酒红的是他的绒外衣，
When they shot him down in the highway,
当他们把他射倒在大路上，
Down like a dog in the highway,
像一只狗倒在大路上，
And he lay in his blood in the highway,with the bunch of lace at his throat.
他全身浴鲜血躺在大路上，颈前还有束花边环系。
And still on a winter's night, they say,when the wind is in the trees,
到如今每逢到冬晚，据说，每逢那狂风掠过林间，
When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossedupon cloudy seas,
每逢那亮月像一只妖怪的船，摇摆在云海的波面，
When the road is a gypsy's ribbon loopingthe purple moor,
每逢那大路像一条月光的缎带，在紫色的旷野上延伸，

Riding--riding--
狂奔，狂奔

Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her longblack hair.

3、斯凯利格（Skellig）
简介：
歌曲描述的是一个欧洲中古世纪的人物，一个从罗马流亡到斯凯利格岛的一个老修士临终前的话语。中古时代的抄写修士，一生都在一个暗室里，点着蜡烛，编绘着美丽绝伦的宗教手抄本，一直到死亡。爱尔兰斯凯利格修道院便是这么一个地方，它位于海中的一个孤岛的峭壁上。当时北欧蛮族入侵英伦各岛，到处抢掠，焚烧书籍。公元7世纪，教士圣菲奥南为保护文化遗产，在今爱尔兰 斯凯利格•迈克岛陡峭的山坡上兴建了一座修道院。受到感召的教士们长途跋涉，避居到这个荒岛上，终生费尽心力抄写经卷，过着苦修绝欲的生活。修道士居住的石造小屋健在几乎垂直的陡峭墙壁之上。房屋形如蜂窝，沿凹凸不平的岩地而建，没有丝毫修饰的痕迹。这个岛上没有美丽的环境，只有荒石与海洋。

越过巍峨屹立的群山
Through rivers running deep
涉过湍急低深的河流
Beneath the endless sky
头顶便是无边的苍穹
Beneath these jasmine flowers
此刻，于这片茉莉花下
Amidst these cypress trees
在这些柏树中
I give you now my books
我将赠与你我的书
And all their mysteries
以及它们蕴含的种种奥义
Now take the hourglass
现在，去拿起那沙漏
And turn it on its head
倒置过来吧
For when the sands are still
沙漏停止流动时
'Tis then you'll find me dead
你便会知道我已离去了
O light the candle, John
点燃烛火吧，约翰兄弟
The daylight has almost gone
天色向晚
The birds have sung their last
鸟儿已停止鸣唱
The bells call all to mass
晚祷的钟声已经响起

幽婉的旋律，娓娓道来。。。果然爱与死是两大永恒主题呐。。。
不知恋爱为何物的某只表示被第三首深深感动（= =|||）。。有理想的灵魂让人敬慕，若能将此生奉献给心中伟大的事业，又复何求撒~~

好钦佩第一个故事的主人翁，不是爱情而是他那勇气。
同样不知恋爱为何物的某只表示，活着自在最好

回復 Delilah 的帖子
嗯...无论爱情还是理想....敢于追求并为追求而奉献所有的本身便是最瑰丽浪漫的壮举..
