The Sleeper - Sopor Aeternus And The Ensemble Of Shadows

The Sleeper (by Edgar Allan POE) - Sopo Aeternus

At midnight in the month of June
六月的午夜
I stand beneath the mystic moon
站在神秘的月亮下
An opiate vapor dewy dim
一股迷幻的雾气，影影绰绰
Exhales from out her golden rim
沿着月亮金色的轮廓，慢慢散开
And softly dripping drop by drop
轻柔的水滴，一滴又一滴，跌落
Upon the quiet mountain top
爬上寂静的山顶
Steals drowsily and musically
懒洋洋地伴着歌声
Into the universal valley
溜进了宇宙的山谷
The rosemary nods upon the grave
迷迭香在坟墓上招摇
The lily lolls upon the wave
百合花轻轻挥舞
Wrapping the fog about it's breast
浓雾包裹着它的胸膛
The ruin molders into rest
将腐朽的一切永远埋葬
Looking like Lethe see the lake
就像被遗忘，看，湖水
A conscious slumber seems to take
即使睡着，意识仍旧清醒
And would not for the world awake
不会让整个世界都醒来
And would not for the world awake
不会让整个世界都醒来
All Beauty sleeps - and lo where lies
所有美丽的沉睡者
The skace men dou ben till the sky
直到和平女神
Irene with her Destinies
带着她的命运归来
O lady bright can it be right
噢，美丽的女神，让一切顺利吧
This window open to the night
为夜打开这扇窗户
The wanton airs from the tree-top
肆意飘扬的空气，从树梢落下
Laughingly through the lattice drop
笑声穿过格子，坠落下来
The bodiless airs a wizard rout
无形的空气如同巫师走的路
Flit through thy chamber in and out
掠过你的房间，出出进进
And wave the curtain canopy
将窗帘泛起涟漪
So fitfully- so cearfully
断断续续
Above the closed and fringed lid
在流苏遮盖的穹顶之上
Neath which thy slumb ring soul lies hid
隐藏着灵魂的谎言
That over the floor and down the wall
覆盖了大地，围墙之下
Like ghosts the shadows rise and fall
就像鬼魂的阴影在起起落落
Oh lady dear hast thou no fear
哦，亲爱的，你可曾感到恐惧
Why and what art thou dreaming here
这美景为什么只在梦中浮现
Sure thou art come over far-off seas
越过遥远深沉海洋
A wonder to these garden trees
惊讶于花园中树林
Strange is thy pallor strange thy dress
惊讶于你苍白的脸，惊讶于你的衣着
Strange above all thy length of tress
惊讶于高高的大树
And this all this
所有的这一切
And this all solemn silentness
庄严的沉寂
My lover sleeps Oh may her sleep
我的爱人在沉睡，哦，希望她的梦
Which is enduring so be deep
深沉，漫长
Heaven have her in it's sacred keep
她是天堂神圣的祭礼
This chamber changed for one more holy
这房间为又一个圣洁灵魂而改变
This bed for one more melancholy
这睡眠饱含哀思
I pray to God that he may lie
我祈祷，他会撒谎
For ever with unopened eye
永远不会睁开双眼
While the pale sheeted ghosts go by
当灰白色的鬼魂经过
My love she sleeps Oh may her sleep
我沉睡的爱人，哦，我沉睡的爱人
As it is lasting so be deep
还在无尽地沉睡
Soft may the worms about her creep
当蠕虫在她周围爬动
May the worms about her creep
当蠕虫在她周围爬动
My love she sleeps Oh may her sleep
我沉睡的爱人，哦，我沉睡的爱人
As it is lasting so be deep
还在无尽地沉睡
Soft may the worms about her creep
当蠕虫在她周围爬动
May the worms about her creep
当蠕虫在她周围爬动
My love she sleeps oh may her sleep
As it is lasting so be deep
Soft may the worms about her creep
Far in the forest dim and old
For her may some tall vault unfold
Some vault that of the flung it's black
And winged panels fluttering back
Triumphant over the crested palls
Of her grand family funerals
Some sepulchre remote alone
Against whose portal she hath thrown
In childhood many an idle stone
Some tomb from out whose sounding door
She never shall force an echo more
Thrilling to think poor child of sin
It was the dead who groaned within
死亡在它内心呻吟
