Once Upon a Troubador - Nightwish

Once Upon a Troubador - Nightwish (夜愿)

A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I
我是一个四处流浪孤独的游吟诗人
Singing dancing finding answers to every why
唱歌 跳舞 寻找每一个未知的答案
The taverns are full and one crosses my path too
酒馆人已满 还有人挡我的路
I just might reward myself with a beer or two
我所要的只不过是一两杯啤酒而已
This in the place of many romantic tales
这个酒馆正如浪漫的故事里所讲的那样
On the loft women offer their sales
女人们在货仓里出卖自己的身体
But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone
但我的眼睛注意到了一个被所有人打骂的女孩
A slave she is but for me a rose undone
她是一个奴隶 然而对我来说却是一朵无暇的玫瑰
Hear me sing

Watch me dance

Play that lute of thine
弹起你的琵琶
And share with me this dance
和我一起来跳这支舞
As she danced my eyes began to shine
她的舞蹈使我眼前一亮
There she was the maiden so divine
她是个多么纯洁神圣的女子
How could I approach her with my outlook so poor
以我这如此贫穷的外表要怎样才能接近她
Her beauty being much more than I could endure
她的美超过了我所能忍受的极限
So I asked if I could sing a chanson
于是我问道我是否可以唱一首歌谣
With a language of ancient and of lore
那是用充满古代智慧的文字写成
Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags
于是与聚集在衣衫褴褛的我和那个女孩周围的男人们
Soon were the melodies heard by everyone
每个人都听见了那旋律
Hear us sing

Watch us dance

Sing with us this tale

With a clap of hands
伴以掌声
The stories long-forgotten we still know

Performing our skills wherever we go
我们四处游走 四处表演
I end my story as I receive a kiss
故事结束了 我得到了一个吻
From my girl the dearest Beatrice

Which the music will keep alive
