与其鲜花丛中嗅芬芳
不如故纸堆里觅华章

The Book of Secrets Loreena McKennitt
Dante's Prayer - Loreena McKennitt

      「但丁的祈祷」(Dante's Prayer),是加拿大新世纪音乐家/词曲唱作人罗琳娜·麦肯尼特(Loreena McKennitt)90年代中期的一支单曲,收录在她97年录音室专辑“神秘书”中。创作灵感来自95年的一次火车旅行,穿越冰天雪地的西伯利亚荒原,车窗外萧索的景象令罗琳娜自然联想起手边正在阅读的但丁「神曲」之“地狱篇”,于是中世纪文学和当代音乐产生了和谐共鸣,澄净如域外仙音的吟唱在器乐优美衬托下,再现出诗人笔下神秘虚幻之意境,第一人称的叙述中流露出于死亡的恐惧及对世俗的嫉愤,却终在对贝亚特丽斯的怀念和新生的祈祷中,得到释怀与解脱......

歌词原文(中译 © 古水 禁止盗用及站外转载)
When the dark wood fell before me
当我置身漆黑森林
And all the paths were overgrown
阡陌已是荒草丛生
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
牧师讥我无路可循
I tilled the sorrows of stone
忧伤积蓄心灰意冷
I did not believe because I could not see
唯独只信自己眼睛
Though you came to me in the night
即便你随黑夜降临
When the dawn seemed forever lost
而当世界暌违黎明
You showed me your love in the light of the stars
你将爱意化作繁星
Cast your eyes on the ocean
眼波焕作瀚海情深
Cast your soul to the sea
灵魂汇入激浪奔腾
When the dark night seems endless
长夜漫漫似无止尽
Please remember me
勿忘将我长念于心
Then the mountain rose before me
群山耸起阻我前行
By the deep well of desire
后退则是欲望深井
From the fountain of forgiveness
慈恕之泉濯漱凡身
Beyond the ice and fire
教我超脱烈焰寒冰
Cast your eyes on the ocean
眼波焕作瀚海情深
Cast your soul to the sea
灵魂汇入激浪奔腾
When the dark night seems endless
长夜漫漫似无止尽
Please remember me
勿忘将我长念于心
Though we share this humble path, alone
坎坷之路并肩同行
How fragile is the heart
脆弱之心亦辞艰辛
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
请赐双足飞鸟羽翎
To touch the face of the stars
直上天际触摸繁星
Breathe life into this feeble heart
驱走疲惫宽抚内心
Lift this mortal veil of fear
消除恐惧摆脱阴影
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
噙泪重把希望高擎
We'll rise above these earthly cares
远离世俗滚滚红尘
Cast your eyes on the ocean
眼波焕作瀚海情深
Cast your soul to the sea
灵魂汇入激浪奔腾
When the dark night seems endless
长夜漫漫似无止尽
Please remember me
勿忘将我长念于心
......
