Kurt Elling的《The Dance》 歌词
the dance 那舞
Looking back on the memory of 回忆往昔
The dance we shared ’neath the stars alone 我们在群星中起舞
For a moment all the world was right 在这美好一刻
How could I have known that you’d ever say goodbye 我知道你将和我告别
And now I’m glad I didn’t know 但是现在,我宁愿不知道
The way it all would end the way it all would go 我们即将结束情缘
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain 我唯有离开,才能忘却疼痛
But I’d of had to miss the dance 但是 我难忘那舞
Holding you I held everything 有了你,我有了一切
For a moment wasn’t I a king 因为那一刻,我不再是国王
But if I’d only known how the king would fall 但是如果我若知道国王如何倒下
Hey who’s to say you know I might have chanced it all 嘿 谁能告诉我 生活需要改变
And now I’m glad I didn’t know 而现在,我宁愿不知道
The way it all would end the way it all would go 我们将结束情缘
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain 唯有离开,我才能忘却疼痛,
But I’d of had to miss the dance 但是,我难忘那舞。
And now I’m glad I didn’t know 因为我宁愿不知道
The way it all would end the way it all would go 我们将结束情缘
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain 唯有离开,我才能忘却疼痛,
But I’d of had to miss the dance 但是 我难忘那舞,
Yes my life is better left to chance 是的,我的生活需要改变
I could have missed the pain but I’d of had to miss the dance 我可以忘记疼痛,但是我不能忘记那舞。
The Mummers' Dance 艺者之舞
when in the springtime of the year
when the trees are crowned with leaves
when the ash and oak and the birch and yew
are dressed in ribbons fair
when owls call the breathless moon
in the blue veil of the night
the shadows of the trees appear
amidst the lantern light
we've been rambling all the night
and some time of this day
now returning back again
we bring a garland gay
who will go down to those shady groves
and summon the shadows there
and tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
in the springtime of the year
the songs of birds seem to fill the wood
that when the fiddler plays
all their voices can be heard
long past their woodland days
and so they linked their hands and danced
round in circles and in rows
and so the journey of the night descends
when all the shades are gone
"a garland gay we bring you here
and at your door we stand
it is a sprout well budded out
the work of our lord's hand"
中文歌词大意
The Mummers’ Dance 描写的是春季Stratford 的一个夜晚,婆娑的树叶衬托蓝色的天空,随着风而摇摆的树枝条,好像是一群人在默默的不停的舞蹈。The Mummers’ Dance 的歌词灵感来自于Loreena 自己1985年的一段读书笔记。歌曲中大量运用了风笛、手鼓、小提琴、竖琴等乐器,为歌曲增色不少,可是该首歌曲又不太像传统的Celtic 风格,或许这也正是她的魅力所在吧。The Mummers’ Dance 是Loreena 最出名的一首歌曲,在Billboard 上有过相当不错的成绩,这对一个民乐歌手来说是不太容易的。此歌是为了纪念她的一位在航行中失去的亲密亲人,目的是为了保留一份不愿遗忘的思念和记忆。
穿着红舞鞋,这舞蹈永不能停下,在所有的白日与黑夜,从每一个春天与秋天,自过去到今天到明日。黄色的酢浆草花在荒野上沸腾,风笛穿行,鼓声从未停息,这节奏没有止境。在游吟诗人缓长的吟唱中,长发飞扬,舞步滑移,前一步 ,后一步,命运从脚下延伸。啊,谁能解释这神圣与荒唐的距离,赞美与呻吟里,火光扑朔迷离,目光起伏于尘埃之间,随着天地之声飞 旋,掠过了地狱的火焰,触摸到天堂的羽翼。月神同日神交替乾坤,新发的绿叶还未从眼中凋落,白雪便覆盖了眉目,生同死,足尖踩乱了所有谜面与答案。从平原到高山,从沼泽到荒漠,穿越黑暗,穿越光明,仿佛逃离,仿佛沉溺,金丝缎带装饰着岁月,青春在裙袂上流淌,原来,还是 从终点踏回原点。瞬间与永恒,摇摆里,拾取时光之河的波浪,缀上花冠,上一支舞与这一舞间,能否听到花朵开落的声音?永不能停止,这是唯一的武器,灵魂只为舞蹈存在。这是艺者之舞,这是你,这是我,这是命运之舞。或者兴致盎然,或者意兴阑珊 。广漠的天地,混沌初开的模样,夜的呼吸,起伏在山峦间。高加索的土地,每一寸都浸满光荣与忧伤。 薄雾依旧沉默地俯瞰高原,在这沉默里,风、雨,河川、海洋、大地、星辰、月亮、太阳,沉默地见证了谁的悲愤与苦难?传说中, 这是普罗米修斯受难之地。 夜行高加索,我们随着行进跌荡起伏,暗蓝的苍穹怜悯地注视着我们,注视着旅途吸去我们曾扬逸着的活色生香,那些在风中奔跑嘻 闹的童年,缀满桅子花香的空气,扰动春日暧阳的慵懒琴音和那热切而苦恼的眼神,最后成为一些抽象的词语,延缓成两端,一头连在逐 渐模糊了往事的过去,一头向苍茫漾溢的未来行去。月光,象一首悲伤的小提琴曲,演奏在高加索的土地上。夜骑高加索,我们裹紧寂寞的羊毛行装,手中绳缰是要拉紧还是放开,是否要询问,日出的方向?谁能点起一盏灯火,谨慎又热烈的 温暧不知向何处降临的目光,而夜,张着黑色羽翼,自身后包围。 夜骑高加索,我们听到逃离时马蹄踏碎的的快感与忧伤,盗火的人犹在回望,谁放弃了永生?而在铁环上,高加索之石在晃动,是什么样的诅咒?谁又做了谁永远的囚徒?

Shane:
Looking back
on the memory of
the dance we shared
'neath the stars above.
For a moment
all the world was right.
How could I have known
that you'd ever say goodbye
Shane(All):
And now
I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
the way it all would go
Our lives
are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain.
But I'd of had to miss
The Dance.
Mark:
Holding you
I held everything
For a moment
wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known
how the king would fall
Hey who's to say
you know I might have changed it all
Shane(All):
And now
I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
the way it all would go
Our lives
are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain.
But I'd of had to miss
The Dance.
Mark(All):
And now
I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
the way it all would go
Our lives
are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain.
But I'd of had to miss
The Dance.
Shane:
Yes my life
is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
but I'd of had to miss
The Dance.
