专注于穆考克小说的Domine（加试译歌词）

nidhogg

恩，这是一个意大利的力量金属乐队。最近因为Moorcock的Elric系列小说的关系一直在听他们。这一系列小说浪漫而且悲惨。可以看到，他们的封面所绘全部是Moorcock笔下Elric的形象（虽然画的不如Robert Gould切题），他们的歌曲也主要歌唱Moorcock的故事，在作家的主页上，同时也可以找到Domine所有的专辑封面。昨晚眼泪一把鼻涕一把译完四首黑剑编年史的歌词，现在看看挺傻的。不过这个乐队的音乐个人以为是相当值得一听的。有一些相当感人。

不要看emule上面的碟评。那些碟评简直胡说八道。


这里是四首黑剑编年史的歌词试译。这四首歌曲取自他们02年的专辑，叫做Stormbringer Ruler。其实我一直不太确定Stormbringer究竟怎么译，台湾那边的翻译好像叫兴风剑，感觉好中国，就没有采用=。=
这第一首个人以为，是最好听的。

6. The Bearer Of The Black Sword (The Chronicles Of The Black Sword - The End Of An Era Part I)

The runes are singing the truth aloud, their riddle is now clear
I'm just a pawn in the hands of a fate, finally revealed
I stare deep inside my soul to find the reasons why
But for all these years I always knew that
I was born to fight

All I've loved I've lost
Left with no one to share the bitter cost
King of a race that ruled the world
Doomed to suffer and bring the final war

Stormbringer Ruler

Lord Elric, Dragon Lord, Prince of the Dreaming City
Stormbringer, his runesword, forged in burning hellfire

Albino dictator, last king of the Dragon Isle
Commander of dragons, I reigned with pride

'til I saw my Fate

In visions that haunt me at night
Dreams of a time soon to come
I bear the Stealer of Souls

[Chorus]

I'm the Bearer of the Black Sword, Lord Elric
I'm the Bearer of the Black Sword, Lord Elric
I'm the Bearer of the Black Sword, Lord Elric
I'm the Bearer of the Black Sword,
- Stormbringer ruler - Lord Elric

Riding all over the world in search for the signs
With fear they call me the White Wolf with crimson eyes
A sword that will shine with my bone white face
in the moonlight
Bounded by hellforged chains, I am one with the sword

Mighty Stormbringer
Give me your power
Give me strength
As you take more souls

The runes are now silent, I know what must be done
To sound the Horn of Fate and let a new age rise
I must keep on fighting to keep the Cosmic Balance
For Chaos, for Law but in my dreams

I just want to be free
Free of all cosmic designs
Free of all sorrow and fears
Free of the Stealer of Souls but

[Chorus]

I'm the Bearer of the Black Sword, Lord Elric
I'm the Bearer of the Black Sword, Lord Elric
I'm the Bearer of the Black Sword, Lord Elric
I'm the Bearer of the Black Sword,
- Stormbringer ruler - Lord Elric

黑剑的持承者（黑剑编年史——一个纪元的终结第一部）

符文高声吟唱着真理，它们蕴藏的迷已经揭示。
最终证实，我只是命运之手中一个棋子。我探寻灵魂深处欲究其原由，可历经这一切后却深知，我是生来注定要战斗。

我爱的一切都没有了。没有人可以替我分担苦涩的代价。一个曾经统治世界的种族之君王，注定要受苦难注定要引来末世之战。

风暴唤者的统御者。

艾尔瑞克殿下，龙主，梦之城的国君。
风暴唤者，他的符文剑，由地狱之火中铸就。

白子独裁者，龙岛最后的君王。
龙的指挥官，我曾骄傲地统治。

直至我看见我的命运。

夜晚折磨我的景象中，一个时代的梦即将呈现，而我手握窃魂者……

我是黑剑持承者，艾尔瑞克殿下。
我是黑剑持承者，风暴唤者的统御者——艾尔瑞克殿下。

行遍世界每一个角落搜寻那些迹象。他们恐惧地称呼我有着绯红双眼的白狼。
一把会在月光中与我骨白色的面庞一同闪辉的魔剑，我与它被地狱所铸的铁链束缚在一起。

强大的风暴唤者，当你吞噬更多的灵魂，赐予我活力，赐予我你的力量吧。

符文此刻沉默，我知道我必须要做的是什么。去吹响命运的号角，让一个新的时代初升。
我必须不断地战斗，以维持宇宙天平。为混乱，为秩序，但在梦中我只想要解脱，摆脱一切宇宙设计，摆脱一切悲伤和恐惧，摆脱这个窃魂者但是……

我是黑剑持承者，艾尔瑞克殿下。
我是黑剑持承者，艾尔瑞克殿下。
我是黑剑持承者，风暴唤者的统御者——艾尔瑞克殿下。

3. Horn Of Fate (The Chronicles Of The Black Sword - The End Of An Era Part II)

I've travelled for far too long on a quest for peace
In many battles won and lost
Still I've found no release

But now I'm here, at the Edge of Time
A place I've seen only in my dreams at night
A place where Chaos and Law collide at last

I saw the glory of the Bright Empire
I saw the ruin of its mighty towers
Until I've reached this place to face my destiny and sound the

[Chorus]

Horn of Fate, Bringer of the End
I'm the Champion of Doom Eternal
Doomed to herald destruction

Horn of Fate, Bringer of the End
I must serve my destiny
And sound with all my strength, the Horn of Fate

A blinding light like a thousand suns opens up the sky
Defying the barriers of Time and Space, the High Lords arrive

I see the army of the Lords of Light
And I see the hordes of Chaos rise
The Great Balance in the sky will judge the final battle

I set my dragons free
To fly over the armies on the battlefield
Stormbringer give me strength, I'm all alone and
I must sound the...

[Chorus]

Horn of Fate, Bringer of the End
I'm the Champion of Doom Eternal
Doomed to herald destruction

Horn of Fate, Bringer of the End
I must serve my destiny
And sound with all my strength, the Horn of Fate

The final battle rages on
The Kings of Law and The Chaos Lords
Clash with thund'rous roar and scorching amber fire

Hundred of warriors engulfed in flames
by the dragons fire, they're set ablaze
Dragonlord Elric fulfills his destiny and sounds the

[Chorus]

Horn of Fate, Bringer of the End
I'm the Champion of Doom Eternal
Doomed to herald destruction

Horn of Fate, Bringer of the End
I'm the Champion of Doom Eternal
Doomed to herald destruction

Horn of Fate, Bringer of the End
I'm the Champion of Doom Eternal
Doomed to herald destruction

Horn of Fate, Bringer of the End
I must serve my destiny
And sound with all my strength, the Horn of Fate

Horn of Fate

"...So let it be done..."

命运之号（黑剑编年史——一个纪元的终结第二部）

我的旅程踏过千山万水以寻求平静，在许多战斗中取胜或失败，依旧毫无释脱。

但此时此地，我站在时光的边缘，一个只有在我夜晚的梦中才能得见的地方，一个混乱与秩序最终碰撞的地方。

我见过光辉帝国的荣耀。我见过辉煌高塔的废墟。直至我来到此地面对我的宿命，并吹响……

命运之号，终结的使者。
我是永恒厄运的斗士，注定要传达毁灭。

命运之号，终结的使者。
我必须服从我的宿命，用尽我所有的力量，吹响，命运之号。

天空放出刺目的光芒好比一千轮白日。无视时间与空间的阻隔，至高主宰们降临。

我看见光明诸君的军队，又看见混乱部落崛起。空中伟大的天平将会裁决这最后的战争。

我释放我的巨龙，让它们翱翔到战场上军队的上空，风暴唤者赐予我力量，我孑然一身，而我必须吹响……

命运之号，终结的使者。
我是永恒厄运的斗士，注定要传达毁灭。

命运之号，终结的使者。
我必须服从我的宿命，用尽我所有的力量，吹响，命运之号。

最终之战如火如荼地进行。秩序众王与混乱诸君，在雷霆般的怒吼中戈战，沐浴琥珀色的火焰。

成百的战士被火焰吞没。在巨龙之火中，他们熊熊燃烧。龙主艾尔瑞克履行他的宿命并吹响……

命运之号，终结的使者。
我是永恒厄运的斗士，注定要传达毁灭。

命运之号，终结的使者。
我是永恒厄运的斗士，注定要传达毁灭。

命运之号，终结的使者。
我是永恒厄运的斗士，注定要传达毁灭。

命运之号，终结的使者。
我必须服从我的宿命，用尽我所有的力量，吹响，命运之号。命运之号。

“……言出必行……”

第三首。白痴浪漫主义。白痴跟着白痴浪漫主义乐曲一道流眼泪。

8. For Evermore (The Chronicles Of The Black Sword - The End Of An Era Part III)

One last beat of this weary heart of mine and I'll be
on my way
Of a life spent to rule and command, nothing shall remain

All is gone
Glory and hope mean nothing to me now

But still I look at the crimson sky
At the beauty of the sunset one more time
and I realize there's a meaning
a way for me to keep on living

Don't let my memory die and I will stay with you

[Chorus]

For evermore
For evermore

Years of reign and endless strife
Of deepest sorrow and glorious fights
And will be gone in a moment
My kingdom will soon disappear

Don't let my memory die and I will stay with you

[Chorus]

For evermore
For evermore
For evermore
For evermore

The King of Rhye will be crowned again
His messenger will spread the word far through the land
He will sail the seven seas of his kingdom
The dream will live on forever

So don't let my memory die but now it's time to be gone

[Chorus]

For evermore
For evermore
For evermore
For evermore

永远（黑剑编年史——一个纪元的终结第三部）

这颗疲惫的心再最后搏动一次，我就会上路。花去一生的时间统领与指挥，最后留下空空如也。

一切都没有了。荣耀和希望现在对我毫无意义。

但我依旧望向绯红的天穹，再多看一眼日暮的美好。我认识到其中蕴涵有一种意义，一种让我继续活下去的方法。

别让我的记忆消逝，我会和你留在一起的。

永远。永远。

历经统治与无尽的争斗，历经最深的悲伤和光荣的战斗，而一切都将不久于世间。我的王国很快就将消失无踪。

别让我的记忆消逝，我会和你留在一起的。

永远……永远……

瑞耶的国王将会再一次戴上皇冠，他的使者将会把消息传遍四方，他将会扬帆在他王国的七片大洋上，这一梦将会永远驻在。

所以别让我的记忆消逝，但现在已是该退出的时候了。

永远。永远。
永远。永远。

眼泪一把鼻涕一把译完第四首。么想法了。

9. Dawn Of A New Day - A Celtic Requiem (The Chronicles Of The Black Sword - The End Of An Era Part IV)

Wheel of Time is turning
The cycle is now complete
For me, Eternal Champion,
It's time to lay down and rest

[Chorus]

I pray to the gods to give me peace
And to see you again on a beautiful sunny day
No, don't cry for me my friends
For one day we will be as one
And I will meet you again
In the dawn of a new day

Dark gives way to light
I see earth's new life begin
Cold in her beauty
A new world where I don't belong

[Chorus]

I pray to the gods to give me peace
And to see you again on a beautiful sunny day
No, don't cry for me my friends
For one day we will be as one
And I will meet you again
In the dawn of a new day

All is lost
All is lost
All is lost
All is lost

Mother my time is come
Father my days are through

It's dawning
It's dawning
A new day is calling

Dawn of a new day

Dawn of a new day
Dawn of eternity

[Chorus]

I pray to the gods to give me peace
And to see you again on a beautiful sunny day
No, don't cry for me my friends
For one day we will be as one
And I will meet you again
In the dawn of a new day
I will meet you again
In the dawn of a new day

新的一日的黎明——一首凯尔特式挽歌（一个纪元的终结第四部）

时光之轮回转。一个圆如今已完满。对于我，永恒的斗士而言，该是时候躺下，并且歇息了。

我祈求诸神给于我平静，让我能够和你在一个阳光明媚的日子再一次相见。
不，别为我哭泣，我的朋友。因为有一天我们将会融为一体，而我会在一个新的日子的黎明，和你再一次相会。

黑暗为光明让出道路。我看到大地上新的生命萌芽。她美丽却冰冷。一个没有我容身之地的新世界。

我祈求诸神给于我平静，让我能够和你在一个阳光明媚的日子再一次相见。
不，别为我哭泣，我的朋友。因为有一天我们将会融为一体，而我会在一个新的日子的黎明，和你再一次相会。

一切都失落了。
一切都失落了。
一切都失落了。
一切都失落了。

母亲我的时辰到了。
父亲我的日子尽了。

黎明初升。黎明初升。一个新的日子在召唤。

新的一日的黎明。

新的一日的黎明……永恒的黎明……

我祈求诸神给于我平静，让我能够和你在一个阳光明媚的日子再一次相见。
不，别为我哭泣，我的朋友。因为有一天我们将会融为一体，而我会在一个新的日子的黎明，和你再一次相会。我会在一个新的日子的黎明，和你再一次相会。

emule上的碟评也太强了,完全是再创造啊[s:7]
"The Prince In The Scarlet Robe 身著红衣的公主，在悠美的钢琴声中缓缓的出现，宛如人间仙子，她是剑族未来的女皇。"....[s:15] Corum快用你的Kwll之手PIA飞这个不着边际的Mabden吧...

看了这帖，突然有再翻出书来读读的愿望。其实在看Elric系列的时候有的时候还是很搞笑的,感觉作者故意在作弄他，嘲讽他。Russlle的漫画Stormbringer每回扉页集中最后一张魔剑杀死Elric,说道："The comedy is over." 也真是贴切。Stormbringer里，Elric梦游死者的幽影王国遇见父亲的亡魂那段倒是看着很揪心。

"My son. are you, too dead? I thought I ‘d been here but a fleeting moment and yet I see you changed in years and with a burden on you that time and fate have placed there. How did you die? In reckless combat on some upstart's foreign blade? Or in this very tower in your ivory bed? And what of Imrryr now? Does she fare well or ill, dreaming in her decline of past splendour? The line continues, as it must I will not ask you if that part of your trust was kept A son, of course, born of Cymoril whom you loved, for which your cousin Yyrkoon hated you."...

"Father!" he called, and his own voice echoed, but there was none there to make reply. And in some sense at least he was glad, for how could he answer the poor spirit and reveal to him the truth of his guesses, admit the crimes he himself was guilty of against his ancestral city, against the very blood of his forefathers? All was mist and groaning sorrow as his echoes boomed into his ears, seeming to take on their own independence and warp the word into weirder words: "F-a-a-a-ath-e-er-r-r . . . A-a-a-a-a-v-a-a-a . .. A-a-a-a-ah-a-a-a-a ...R-a-a-a . . . D-a-ra-va-ar-a-a . . . !"

唉....

哈哈，同感，那些碟评让我快呕吐。
elric saga看得我整个无语，接着在看那些碟评，就可以自言自语去了。

calcifer

有没有看Elric at the End of Time,那可是个搞笑故事.XD 非常期待明年Elric系列整个重出,希望能插些新的小故事.[s:12]

那本没有看完……但我觉得作者挺自恋的=。=

还有其他不少乐队从穆考克那里摄取过灵感，其中包括Summoning。Summoning通常是专注于托尔金小说的，不过在他们的Let the Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame里有首歌的歌词段落取自Moorcock的Elric小说：
‘In a quavering voice, Moonglum began to sing a song in the hope that it would keep his spirits up and his thoughts off the lurking forest.

"A grin and a word is my trade;
From these, my profit is made.
Though my body's not tall and my courage is small,
My fame will take longer to fade."

So singing, with his natural amiability returning, Moonglum rode after the man he regarded as a friend—a friend who possessed something akin to mastery over him, though neither admitted it.’

... ...

"Beyond the ocean brews a battle
Beyond the battle blood shall fall
If Elric's kinsman ventures with him
(Bearing a twin of that he bears)
To a place where, man-forsaken
Dwells the one who should not live
Then a bargain shall be entered
Elric's wife shall be restored"

... ...

"Wild wind-horses soar the cloud-trails,
Unholy horn doth sound its blast,
You and we were first to conquer,
You and we shall be the last"

如此合成这样一首歌：
Ashen Cold
--Summoning

A grin and a word is his trade
From these his profit is made
Though his body is not tall and his courage seems small
His fame will take longer to fade

Beyond the ocean brews a battle
Beyond the battle blood shall fall
To a place where man forsaken
Dwells the one who should not live

Then a bargain shall be entered
Saurons might shall be restored
You and we were first to conquer
You and we shall be the last.
