The Fall of Gondolin

歌词
Predestined to become the hope
他注定成为众人的希望
Of all in the drear time
在那黯淡无光
The time when feast changed into tears
欢宴化做泪水
And grandness into slime
荣光归于尘泥的时刻
He went to the forbidden gate
他来到宏伟之城贡多林
Of Gondolin the great
七重禁门前
To warn the king against the doom
警示那与命运抗争的君王
Brought forth by pride and hate
身负骄傲与仇恨
Stranger from the Great Sea
陌客自大海
From a far-off shore
远岸而来
Where the rocks have voices
彼地礁岩低吟
And the waves are hoar
海浪泛白
An obscure enigma
晦涩谜语预言
He will come at last
他终将到来
Speaking the deep language
口出尘封旧日里的
Of a buried past
深奥之言
The vigour of the human race
人类的生机
Is gathered in his form
焕发于其身
And he sounds like the symphony
他开口犹似
Of waves after the storm
风暴席卷后海浪交响
Stranger from the Great Sea
陌客自大海
From a far-off shore
远岸而来
Where the rocks have voices
彼地礁岩低吟
And the waves are hoar
海浪泛白
An obscure enigma
晦涩谜语预言
He will come at last
他终将到来
Speaking the deep language
口出尘封旧日里的
Of a buried past
深奥之言
无人知晓
Nobody knows
何路引你向彼地
What road will lead you there
模糊传说
Tales of something
似已无从考证
That seems to be nowhere
那珍贵的机密
A cherished secret
引向群山掩映中
That the mountains screen
那被严守的
A guarded treasure
隐匿宝藏
Never to be seen
山谷之中河流欢唱
In the valley the rivers sing
传奇随风轻快徜徉
Light-winged legend carried by the wind
流逝之光,缥缈之声
Fleeing flicker, immaterial sound
隐匿之城,何以寻访?
Hidden city, when will you be found
黄金岩石
光华夺目
The dazzling brightness
那非凡中的奇迹
Of marble and of gold
令人目不暇接
Marvel of marvels
彩虹末端
So hard to behold
遥远梦境里
End of the rainbow
流星残影
Dreamed of from afar
幻象消逝
Vanishing image
如同久慕之物残存下无望的记忆
Of a falling star
枯叶之歌遗响风里
残像如同鬼魅般萦绕心底
Hopeless memory of a long-loved thing
隐匿之城,无从寻觅
Song of dead leaves floating in the wind
攻其不备
Apparition of a haunting ghost
出其不意
Hidden city, found and lost
敌人翻山越岭击破城墙
循着白梯长阶而至
Attacking the unconscious city
夜色中 哭喊不止
Invading it unawares
夏日凋零消逝
They came over hills and ramparts
黑暗混乱充斥
They went up the vast, white stairs
狂烈龙息猛击
And that was a night of shrieking
贡多林,贡多林,昨日奇迹与荣光
And summer changed into death
城墙中背叛已被唤醒
A welter of black confusion
兵甲利刃无法终止浩劫
The fierce blast of dragons' breath
精灵之手无法阻挡攻击
墙垒倾颓
Gondolin, Gondolin, proud and wondrous
浓烟旋升
Treason has woken within your walls
萎靡与绝望
环绕着昨日乐土
No weapon could stop the slaughter
曾被严守的国度
No hand could avert the stroke
毁于无情灾祸
The ruin of falling bulwarks
长乐景象休止
The spirals of strangling smoke
国土末日降临
Distraction and desperation
数个纪元的隐藏
Enfolding the happy plain
无法与罪恶相抗
The jealously guarded kingdom
隐匿山中之城
Brought down by the ruthless bane
坍如玻璃之塔
The end of the long illusion
如同至美之物
Catastrophe of the land
的回响般转瞬即逝
Where centuries of seclusion
废墟之上唯有藤蔓疯长
Were useless against Hell's band
缠绕着颓墙碎岩
The city beyond the mountains
精灵与人类
Collapsed like a tower of glass
命运皆系与他身
And ceased like the short-lived echo
他双眸盛满感伤
Of beautiful things that pass
永无止境地蔓延
精灵与人类
And greedy ivy is all that grows now
命运皆系于他身
Among the rubble of tumbling halls
他的双眸盛满感伤
永无止境地蔓延
The lives of Elves and Men
最终贡多林陷落了
Entwined are in his destiny
魔苟斯麾下的可怖生物力量盘踞在旧日街道上:
And in his eyes the wistful gaze
妖狼,奥克,炎魔四处游荡
Into infinity
火焰死亡恣肆
王之广场上,涌泉家族的埃克赛里昂与炎魔之首勾斯魔格殊死较量
The lives of Elves and Men
他们最终同归于尽
Entwined are in his destiny
此后,在一个被称为鹰之裂罅的隘口
And in his eyes the wistful gaze
贡多林的逃亡者们
Into infinity
被众多奥克与一只炎魔伏击,
And in the end the city fell.
金发的格洛芬德尔的勇武使他们得以逃脱
Its streets were filled with the might of Morgoth's monstrous
他的英勇事迹在精灵歌谣中被永世传颂
creatures: wolves, Orcs and Balrogs wandered around,
spreading fire and death. And in the very square of the King,
Ecthelion of the Fountain engaged a deadly battle with Gothmog lord
of Balrogs, where each killed the other. Then,
by the pass called the Eagles' Cleft,
the fugitives from Gondolin were ambushed by Orcs;
and a Balrog was with them.
They were only saved by the courage of Glorfindel
the golden-haired, whose valour lives on in Elfish songs
