Nocturne for tenor, 7 obligato instruments & strings, Op.60:1. "On A Poet's Lips I Slept"

Britten: Serenade for tenor, horn & strings; Les Illuminations; Nocturne

Sir Peter Pears

歌词

On a poet's lips I slept

我睡在一位诗人的唇上

Dreaming like a love-adept

在他起伏的呼吸声中

In the sound his breathing kept;

做着情场高手的美梦

Nor seeks nor finds he mortal blisses,

他不屑于人间的欢乐

But feeds on the a?rial kisses

维持他生存的，唯有来自思想的蛮荒之地里

Of shapes that haunt thought's wildernesses.

那些游荡的形影的虚无缥缈的亲吻

He will watch from dawn to gloom

他可以从清晨到黄昏

The lake-reflected sun illume

一直凝视着湖面反射的阳光

The yellow bees in the ivy-bloom,

常青藤的花瓣里嫩黄的蜜蜂

Nor heed nor see what things they be;

不见不想自己为何物

But from these create he can

从这些景致里

Forms more real than living man,

他却可以创造出比活人更真实的形体

Nurslings of immortality!

不朽的婴孩！
