The Islander
nightwish/夜愿-<dark passion play>
(Composer: Marco Hietala）
An old man by a sea shore at the end of day
Gazes the horizon with sea winds in his face.
Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same.
Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name.
Sea without a shore for the vanished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world.
Showing the way, lighting hope in their hearts,
The ones and their travels homeward from afar.
（Chorus:）
This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world.
Horizon's crying the tears he left behind long ago.
The albatross is flying, making him daydream
The time before he became - one of the world`s unseen
Princess in the tower, children in the fields
Life gave him it all: an island of the universe.
Now his love`s a memory, a ghost in the fog.
He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world.
Anchor to the water, seabed far below,
Grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow.
This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world.
Horizon's crying the tears he left behind long ago.
so long ago.(so long ago.)
....................
This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world.
Horizon's crying the tears he left behind long ago.
.....................
so long ago.(so long ago.)
《岛民》
日终之时，老人停伫於岸边。
海风袭面，满脸风霜凝视海平面。
受暴雨侵袭的岛屿，四季皆然。
无漆的船舶，停著一艘无名船。
无名的放逐者，被放逐於无边大海。
他在世界的尽头点亮灯塔，
点亮他们心中的希望，
在航向故乡的遥远旅程上指引道路。
这是在世界的尽头
早已被遗忘的一点光芒。
地平线在流著
他从前淌下的泪。
信天翁在翱翔，引他陷入回忆，
忆起未隐姓埋名前的时光。
塔里关著的公主，田野上的孩子。
命运赐给他宇宙之岛。
如今他的爱已经记忆，像雾中幽魂，
扬帆，在最后的航程向世界告别…
泊在深水处，白眉下是他的笑容。
这是在世界的尽头
早已被遗忘的一点光芒，
地平线在流著
他很久以前淌下的泪。
