To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness, moving to the pagan sound
Somewhere in a hidden memory images float before my eyes
Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires and dancing till the next sunrise
(Chorus)
I can see the lights in the distance trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing a waltz on All Souls Night
Figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows held up tall as the flames leap high
The green knight holds the holly bush to mark where the old year passes by
(Chorus)
Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides. Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness and moving to the pagan sound
Standing on the bridge that crosses the river that goes out to the sea
The wind is full of a thousand voices. They pass by the bridge and me
(Chorus) (Repeat)
魂灵夜》是加拿大女歌手罗琳娜-麦肯妮特(Loreena McKennitt)的代表作品之一,充满了浓浓的凯尔特(Celtic)音乐元素,是一首描绘万圣夜、温暖亡灵的歌,台湾歌手齐豫也翻唱过。
中文歌词
篝火点缀着起伏的山野。身形旋转着旋转着舞蹈
就着鼓声,随着暗夜的回响搏动,向着异教的天堂
隐秘的记忆深处,万千魅影浮于眼前
有芳菲的夜晚,有稻草,有篝火,尽舞至天明
(副歌)
我看到远处的光亮,在夜的暗袍中战栗
烛火与提灯舞蹈着,舞蹈着一曲华尔兹,在这魂灵之夜
??
麦杆的身形在阴影中折腰,又高高挺起,仿若火焰升腾
这绿衣骑士手执冬青树的戈,是穿梭而过的古老年月留下的痕
??
(副歌)
篝火点缀着起伏的山野。身形旋转着旋转着舞蹈
就着鼓声,随着暗夜的回响搏动,向着异教的天堂
立于桥头,脚下的河水冲向海洋
风中饱含着千万种声响,吹过桥头,拂过我
