【经典英文歌曲】Sleeping Sun
《Sleeping Sun》是成立于1996年的芬兰交响力量金属乐团Nightwish（夜愿）在1999年发行的单曲CD中的第1首歌曲，是Nightwish夜愿慢歌里面最经典最好听的一首，作为 Nightwish演唱会的压轴歌曲，《Sleeping Sun》给人带来的震撼感不容小视。在这首歌曲里女主唱Tarja Turunen以其洪亮、高亢的嗓音把这首歌曲宏伟磅礴的气势展现的淋漓尽致，音域上的收放拉伸把空间感演艺的非常到位，隐约间还能听到些许回声，颇有余音绕梁、三日不绝之势。女主唱特别的声音，把古典元素细致的融入金属乐，歌剧层次化的嗓音，死亡的悲伤、禁忌的爱、深重的痛苦构成了这首歌曲。
Sleeping Sun
赤晖深堕
The sun is sleeping quietly
那太阳沉睡得多么宁静
Once upon a century
望这一刻如愿青史留名
Wistful oceans calm and red
这如血海面在默然静待
Ardent caresses laid to rest
那燃情澎湃已惘然不再
For my dreams I hold my life
为追梦我岂敢把这生命懈怠
For wishes I behold my nights
为希望我情愿将那夜晚等待
The truth at the end of time
真相在时间尽头深埋
Losing faith makes a crime
抛却信念将永堕苦海
I wish for this night-time
我祈愿这漫漫夜晚
To last for a lifetime
将永远也不要醒来
The darkness around me
环绕我身旁这苍茫暗夜
Shores of a solar sea
与那渐敛光芒相偎相依
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
噢我多渴望就此沉沦与这堕日为伴
Sleeping
容我安憩
Weeping
许我啜泣
With you
同你一起
Sorrow has a human heart
悲恸亦存仁怜之念
From my god it will depart
虽为主所佑，终消散难免
I'd sail before a thousand moons
我誓乘舟荡尽这浩瀚星空
Never finding where to go
却终未觅得归身之所
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
两百二十二日之白昼复来
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
