歌词与中文翻译
By a route obscure and lonely,
在一条阴暗孤寂的路旁
Haunted by ill angels only,
只有坏天使常去常往
Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT,
那儿有个名叫夜晚的幽灵
On a black throne reigns upright,
在黑色的王位上发号施令
I have reached these lands but newly
我已经到家 但我刚刚
From an ultimate dim Thule, -
去过一个最最混沌的地方——
From a wild clime that lieth, sublime,
那里荒凉萧瑟 充满惊人的怪诞
Out of SPACE - out of TIME.
超越了空间——超越了时间
Bottomless vales and boundless floods,
无底的山谷 无边的洪波
And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods,
巨大的森林 岩洞和沟壑
With forms that no man can discover
它们的形状无人能发现
For the tears that drip all over;
因为到处有雾珠弥漫
Mountains toppling evermore
群山始终是摇摇欲坠
Into seas without a shore;
坠进没有海岸的海水
Seas that restlessly aspire,
海水永远在上升涌动
Surging, unto skies of fire;
涌向火焰一般的天空
Lakes that endlessly outspread
大湖浩渺 无边无际
Their lone waters - lone and dead, -
湖水凄清——凄清而死寂
Their still waters - still and chilly
平静的水——平静而冰凉
With the snows of the lolling lily.
百合花懒洋洋地依在湖旁
By the lakes that thus outspread
在那些湖畔 湖无边无际
Their lone waters, lone and dead, -
湖水凄清 凄清而死寂
Their sad waters, sad and chilly
忧伤的水 忧伤而冰凉
With the snows of the lolling lily, -
百合花懒洋洋地依在湖旁
By the mountains - near the river
在群山脚下——那条河附近
Murmuring lowly, murmuring ever, -
河水汩汩淙淙 潺潺有声
By the grey woods, - by the swamp
在森林之旁——在沼泽之滨
Where the toad and the newt encamp -
那儿有蟾蜍和蝾螈扎营
By the dismal tarns and pools
在阴惨的池塘和山中小湖
Where dwell the Ghouls, -
那儿常有食尸鬼居住
By each spot the most unholy -
在每一个最不圣洁的场所
In each nook most melancholy -
在每一个最最阴郁的角落
There the traveller meets aghast
旅行者会吃惊地不期而遇
Sheeted memories of the Past -
裹着尸衣的过去的记忆
Shrouded forms that start and sigh
裹尸衣的身影 惊诧而喟叹
As they pass the wanderer by -
当他们走过流浪者身边
White-robed forms of friends long given,
白袍朋友的身影早已被托付
In agony, to the Earth - and Heaven.
在痛苦中 给了天堂——给了黄土
对于那充满悲哀的心
For the heart whose woes are legion
那地方有一种安慰和宁静——
'Tis a peaceful, soothing region -
对于走在阴影中的灵魂
For the spirit that walks in shadow
那是——哦 那是个理想的仙境！
'Tis - oh, 'tis an Eldorado!
但对于旅行者 当穿行其间
But the traveller, travelling through it,
不可——也不敢直眼相看
May not - dare not openly view it!
它的神秘永远也不会展露
Never its mysteries are exposed
给软弱的世人尚未闭的眼目
To the weak human eye unclosed;
它的国王希望如此 他已禁止
So wills its King, who hath forbid
有睫毛的眼睑高高抬起
The uplifting of the fringed lid;
所以 这悲伤的灵魂虽曾涉足
And thus the sad Soul that here passes
但所见到的都隔着一层浓雾
Beholds it but through darkened glasses.
在一条阴暗孤寂的路旁
只有坏天使常去常往
By a route obscure and lonely,
那儿有个名叫夜晚的幽灵
Haunted by ill angels only,
在黑色的王位上发号施令
Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT,
我已漂泊回家 但我刚刚
On a black throne reigns upright,
去过那最最混沌的地方
I have wandered home but newly
From this ultimate dim Thule.
