The Haunted Palace-Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows

[00:00.00] 作词 : Anna-Varney Cantodea [00:01.00] 作曲 : Anna-Varney Cantodea [01:07.50]In the greenest of our valleys
在山谷幽壑的最绿处, [01:11.79]By good angels tenanted
善良天使曾住在 [01:18.49]Once a fair and stately palace
一座美好而高贵的宫殿—— [01:23.57]Radiant palace, reared its head
辉煌灿烂的宫殿——巍然屹立。 [01:30.89]In the monarch thought's dominion
在思想君王的领地中—— [01:37.94]It stood there
它巍然伫立！ [01:42.71]Never seraph spread a pinion
六翼天使的羽翼也未曾 [01:47.57]Over fabric half so fair.
看见过如此精美的建筑。 [02:26.30]Banners yellow, glorious, golden
金光灿灿的旗帜， [02:33.31]On its roof did float and flow,
在宫殿顶上飘拂； [02:39.20]This, all this, was in the olden time long ago
（这——这一切——都已是悠远的往昔岁月） [02:50.58]And every gentle air that dallied
每一丝温柔的空气都徜徉在 [02:57.17]In that sweet day
那甜美的日子里 [03:02.13]Along the ramparts plumed and pallid
沿着宫殿的粉墙白壁， [03:09.42]A winged odor went away.
插翅的芬芳不胫而飞。 [03:43.98]Wanderers in that happy valley
这快乐山谷的漫游者 [03:50.90]Through two luminous windows saw
透过两扇明亮的窗户 [03:55.71]Spirits moving musically
望见精灵们翩然起舞 [04:01.29]To a lute's well-tuned law
随着古琴悦扬的旋律； [04:07.75]Round about a throne where sitting
御座上端坐着 [04:14.47](Porphyrogene!)
（王族贵胄！） [04:19.57]In state his glory well-befitting
王国的国君，周身的荣耀与堂皇， [04:26.43]The ruler of the realm was seen.
与他的身份完全相当。 [05:27.50]And all with pearl and ruby glowing
珠光宝气的璀璨 [05:33.10]Was the fair palace door
装饰着美丽宫殿大门， [05:38.11]Through which came flowing, flowing, flowing
穿门而入的是翩然， [05:43.96]And sparkling evermore
翩然且恒久闪烁的 [05:49.91]A troop of echoes whose sweet duty
一队回音仙女，她们的神圣职责， [05:57.10]Was but to sing
只是歌唱， [06:03.59]In voices of surpassing beauty
用无以伦比的优美嗓音， [06:09.53]The wit and wisdom of their king.
颂扬国王的聪明智慧。 [07:10.59]But evil things in robes of sorrow
可是邪恶穿着忧伤的衣袍， [07:17.55]Assailed the monarch's high estate
侵袭了王座至高的尊贵； [07:21.73](Ah, let us mourn! for never morrow
（啊，让我们悲恸，因为明天不再 [07:27.69]Shall dawn upon his desolate !)
让他恩蒙黎明，一片荒凉！） [07:33.96]And round about his home the glory
他的宫邸， [07:40.63]That blushed and bloomed
那辉煌的灿烂和昌盛 [07:45.14]Is but a dim-remembered story
仅成了一则依稀的故事 [07:52.20]Of the old time entombed.
被亘古的岁月埋葬。 [08:04.80]And travellers, now, within that valley
山谷中的游历者， [08:10.41]Through the red-litten windows see
透过通红的窗户望见 [08:15.77]Vast forms that move fantastically
许多鬼魅般游移的影子 [08:22.60]To a discordant melody
伴随着不和谐的乐曲； [08:27.73]While, like a ghastly rapid river,
这时，仿佛汹涌可怖的河流 [08:34.50]Through the pale door
穿透了黯然的门扉， [08:39.41]A hideous throng rush out forever
那骇人的一群不断地冲过， [08:46.12]And laugh but smile no more.
大笑着——但笑容不再。
