《The Highwayman》歌词:
[00:00.000] 作词 : Loreena McKennitt
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Loreena McKennitt
[01:10.399]The wind was a torrent of darkness
[01:12.989]Among the gusty trees
[01:14.739]
[01:15.449]The moon was a ghostly galleon
[01:17.908]
[01:18.449]Tossed upon the cloudy seas
[01:20.949]The road was a ribbon of moonlight
[01:24.990]Over the purple moor
[01:26.699]
[01:26.789]And the highwayman came riding
[01:29.390]
[01:29.599]Riding, riding
[01:31.969]
[01:32.908]The highwayman came riding
[01:34.669]
[01:35.289]Up to the old inn-door
[01:37.789]
[01:39.878]He'd a French cocked hat on his forehead
[01:42.519]A bunch of lace at his chin
[01:44.638]
[01:45.209]A coat of claret velvet
[01:47.279]
[01:48.890]And breeches of brown doe-skin
[01:50.699]
[01:50.848]They fitted with never a wrinkle
[01:53.608]His boots were up to the thigh
[01:56.419]And he rode with a jeweled twinkle
[01:58.759]
[01:59.319]His pistol butts a-twinkle
[02:01.489]
[02:02.389]His rapier hilt a-twinkle
[02:04.599]
[02:04.899]Under the jeweled sky
[02:06.979]
[02:09.610]And over the cobbles he clattered
[02:11.989]And clashed in the dark inn yard
[02:14.810]And he tapped with his whip on the shutters
[02:14.900]
[02:17.760]But all was locked and barred
[02:20.210]He whistled a tune to the window
[02:23.410]And who should be waiting there
[02:25.360]
[02:26.100]But the landlord's black-eyed daughter
[02:28.300]
[02:28.929]Bess, the landlord's daughter
[02:31.310]
[02:32.250]Plaiting a dark red love-knot
[02:34.570]Into her long black hair
[02:36.590]
[02:39.210]"One kiss, my bonny sweetheart
[02:41.590]I'm after a prize tonight
[02:43.660]
[02:44.660]But I shall be back with the yellow gold
[02:47.560]Before the morning light
[02:49.370]
[02:50.370]Yet if they press me sharply
[02:52.429]
[02:53.700]And harry me through the day
[02:55.400]
[02:55.750]Then look for me by the moonlight
[02:58.660]Watch for me by the moonlight
[03:00.900]
[03:01.800]I'll come to thee by the moonlight
[03:04.350]Though hell should bar the way
[03:06.270]
[03:08.770]He rose upright in the stirrups
[03:11.290]He scarce could reach her hand
[03:13.480]
[03:14.240]But she loosened her hair in the casement
[03:16.950]His face burnt like a brand
[03:19.100]
[03:19.700]As the black cascade of the perfume
[03:22.640]Came tumbling over his breast
[03:24.640]
[03:25.390]And he kissed its waves in the moonlight
[03:27.720]
[03:28.400]Oh, sweet waves in the moonlight
[03:30.480]
[03:31.700]He tugged at his rein in the moonlight
[03:33.990]And galloped away to the west
[03:36.490]
[04:02.490]He did not come at the dawning
[04:04.360]
[04:04.930]He did not come at noon
[04:07.600]
[04:07.930]And out of the tawny sunset
[04:10.510]Before the rise o' the moon
[04:12.650]
[04:13.520]When the road was a gypsy's ribbon
[04:15.700]
[04:16.200]Looping the purple moor
[04:18.360]
[04:19.100]A red-coat troop came marching
[04:21.369]
[04:22.200]Marching, marching
[04:23.689]
[04:25.0]King George's men came marching
[04:26.810]
[04:27.680]Up to the old inn-door
[04:29.960]
[04:32.800]They said no word to the landlord
[04:34.400]
[04:34.659]They drank his ale instead
[04:36.420]
[04:37.360]But they gagged his daughter and bound her
[04:40.240]To the foot of her narrow bed
[04:42.440]
[04:43.0]Two of them knelt at the casement
[04:45.830]With muskets at their side
[04:47.710]
[04:48.520]There was death at every window
[04:50.600]
[04:51.540]Hell at one dark window
[04:53.720]
[04:54.530]For Bess could see through the casement
[04:57.900]The road that he would ride
[04:59.300]
[05:01.820]They had tied her up to attention
[05:04.270]With many a niggering jest
[05:06.330]
[05:07.700]They had bound a musket beside her
[05:09.960]With the barrel beneath her breast
[05:11.800]
[05:12.490]"Now keep good watch", and they kissed her
[05:15.690]She heard the dead man say
[05:18.330]"Look for me by the moonlight
[05:20.630]
[05:21.400]Watch for me by the moonlight
[05:23.520]
[05:24.200]I'll come to thee by the moonlight
[05:26.860]Though hell should bar the way"
[05:28.870]
[05:31.220]She twisted her hands behind her
[05:33.280]But all the knots held good
[05:35.620]
[05:37.500]She writhed her hands till her fingers
[05:39.630]Were wet with sweat or blood
[05:41.640]
[05:42.520]They stretched and strained in the darkness
[05:45.210]And the hours crawled by like years
[05:47.350]
[05:48.300]Till now on the stroke of midnight
[05:50.230]
[05:50.860]Cold on the stroke of midnight
[05:53.600]
[05:53.810]The tip of one finger touched it
[05:56.440]The trigger at least was hers
[05:58.470]
[06:15.900]Tlot-tlot, tlot-tlot, had they heard it?
[06:17.450]
[06:18.0]The horses hoofs ring clear
[06:19.770]
[06:20.710]Tlot-tlot, tlot-tlot, in the distance
[06:23.400]Were they deaf that they did not hear?
[06:25.480]
[06:26.600]Down the ribbon of moonlight
[06:28.550]
[06:29.900]Over the brow of the hill
[06:31.230]
[06:31.810]The highwayman came riding
[06:33.810]
[06:34.640]Riding, riding
[06:36.380]
[06:37.960]The red-coats looked to their priming
[06:39.710]
[06:40.270]She stood up straight and still
[06:42.600]
[06:44.670]Tlot, in the frosty silence
[06:46.560]
[06:47.300]Tlot, in the echoing night
[06:49.300]
[06:50.310]Nearer he came and nearer
[06:52.370]
[06:52.950]Her face was like a light
[06:55.700]
[06:55.840]Her eyes grew wide for a moment
[06:58.600]She drew one last deep breath
[07:00.660]
[07:01.340]Then her finger moved in the moonlight
[07:04.230]Her musket shattered the moonlight
[07:06.540]
[07:07.360]Shattered her breast in the moonlight
[07:09.850]And warned him with her death
[07:11.910]
[07:14.440]He turned, he spurred to the west
[07:16.950]He did not know she stood
[07:19.400]
[07:19.920]Bowed with her head o'er the musket
[07:22.500]Drenched with her own red blood
[07:24.700]
[07:25.390]Not till the dawn he heard it
[07:28.210]His face grew gray to hear
[07:30.410]
[07:31.400]How Bess, the landlord's daughter
[07:33.500]
[07:33.830]The landlord's black-eyed daughter
[07:36.700]Had watched for her love in the moonlight
[07:36.800]
[07:39.460]And died in the darkness there
[07:41.970]
[07:44.300]And back, he spurred like a madman
[07:46.540]Shrieking a curse to the sky
[07:49.370]With the white road smoking behind him
[07:53.0]And his rapier brandished high
[07:54.800]
[07:54.950]Blood-red were the spurs in the gold moon
[07:58.200]Wine-red was his velvet coat
[07:59.980]
[08:00.600]When they shot him down on the highway
[08:03.490]Down like a dog on the highway
[08:05.680]
[08:06.250]And he lay in his blood on the highway
[08:10.0]With the bunch of lace at his throat
[08:11.340]
[08:29.400]Still of a winter's night, they say
[08:32.200]When the wind is in the trees
[08:34.390]
[08:34.588]When the moon is a ghostly galleon
[08:37.289]Tossed upon the cloudy seas
[08:39.899]
[08:40.299]When the road is a ribbon of moonlight
[08:43.198]Over the purple moor
[08:45.489]
[08:45.758]A highwayman comes riding
[08:48.190]
[08:48.899]Riding, riding
[08:50.659]
[08:52.290]A highwayman comes riding
[08:53.529]
[08:54.649]Up to the old inn-door
[08:57.239]
[09:12.409]
[by:桃花三两枝]
[01:10.399]风是漆黑的激流
[01:12.989]正在树林间迸裂
[01:15.449]月亮是魔鬼的帆船
[01:18.449]正被掷向阴霾笼罩的海面
[01:20.949]道路是月光编织的丝带
[01:24.990]正漂浮于紫色的荒野
[01:26.789]强盗纵马而来
[01:29.599]飞奔 飞奔
[01:32.908]强盗纵马而来
[01:35.289]来到这古老的小客栈门前
[01:39.878]他的前额压着法兰西三角帽
[01:42.519]下颚饰带飘飘
[01:45.209]一件红如葡萄酒的天鹅绒外衣
[01:48.890]和褐色鹿皮马裤
[01:50.848]衣服没有一丝褶皱
[01:53.608]靴子长至股间
[01:56.419]他伴随着宝石闪烁的光彩纵马飞奔
[01:59.319]他的枪柄闪烁
[02:02.389]他的剑柄闪烁
[02:04.899]在镶满宝石的夜空下
[02:09.610]黑色的客栈花园里
[02:11.989]他的脚步在卵石上擦出烦乱的声响
[02:14.810]他用马鞭敲打窗户
[02:17.760]但是所有的门窗紧闭
[02:20.210]他对着窗户轻吹一曲
[02:23.410]谁会在那里等他?
[02:26.100]那是房东的女儿 黑眼睛的姑娘
[02:28.929]贝丝 房东的女儿
[02:32.250]正在用黑色的长发红色的丝线
[02:34.570]编织一个纠缠的爱之结
[02:39.210]一个吻 我美丽的爱人
[02:41.590]今晚我要追逐一些财宝
[02:44.660]我会满载黄金而归
[02:47.560]在黎明前
[02:50.370]如果他们让我艰于应付
[02:53.700]纠缠我一整天
[02:55.750]那就在月光中等候
[02:58.660]在月光里为我守候
[03:01.800]我会伴随月光而来
[03:04.350]来到你身边 就算那地狱般的困境让我插翅难飞
[03:08.770]他站起来 踏上马镫
[03:11.290]在马背上他几乎触不到她的手
[03:14.240]但是她在窗扉前解开长发
[03:16.950]他的脸燃烧起来 红如烙铁
[03:19.700]当迷人的香气如同黑色的小瀑布一样
[03:22.640]婉转的流上他的胸膛
[03:25.390]他在月光下亲吻了黑色的波浪
[03:28.400]噢 月光下 甜蜜的黑色波浪
[03:31.700]然后 他勒紧手中的缰绳
[03:33.990]在月光中向西方疾驰而去
[04:02.490]他在黎明并没有归来
[04:04.930]他在中午也没有归来
[04:07.930]茶色的黄昏后
[04:10.510]月亮升起前
[04:13.520]路像吉普赛的丝带
[04:16.200]缠绕着紫色的荒野
[04:19.100]一群红衣士兵列队前行
[04:22.200]进军 进军
[04:25.0]乔治王的士兵列队前行
[04:27.680]直至这座古老的小客栈门前
[04:32.800]他们不发一言
[04:34.659]却喝了房东的酒
[04:37.360]他们嘲弄着他的女儿
[04:40.240]并把她绑在坟墓般的床脚上
[04:43.0]两个士兵跪在窗扉前
[04:45.830]凭枪而立
[04:48.520]到处是死亡的窗户
[04:51.540]地狱正在黑色窗户的另一端
[04:54.530]贝丝能看到的 只是窗扉之外
[04:57.900]那条他应该经过的路
[05:01.820]他们绑紧她
[05:04.270]并调戏般的嘲弄
[05:07.700]他们在她身边绑了一杆枪
[05:09.960]枪管正对她的胸膛
[05:12.490]好好站岗 他们轻吻她
[05:15.690]她听到那个男人说
[05:18.330]那就在月光里等待
[05:21.400]在月光下为我守候
[05:24.200]我会伴随月光而来
[05:26.860]来到你身边 就算那地狱般的境地让我插翅难飞
[05:31.220]她双手在身后扭动
[05:33.280]可是 所有的绳结那么牢固
[05:37.500]她不停的翻转手腕
[05:39.630]直到手指满是汗水和鲜血
[05:42.520]它们在黑夜里辗转折磨
[05:45.210]历时如年
[05:48.300]直到 现在 午夜的钟声响起
[05:50.860]寒冷 午夜的钟声响起
[05:53.810]她的指尖终于触到了扳机
[05:56.440]至少是为她自己准备的扳机
[06:15.900]特-特 他们听到了么
[06:18.0]马蹄声清脆响亮
[06:20.710]特-特 特-特 声音自远方而来
[06:23.400]难道他们都聋了而没有听到?
[06:26.600]冲下月光编织的丝带
[06:29.900]爬上眉峰凝成的小山
[06:31.810]强盗纵马而来
[06:34.640]飞奔 飞奔
[06:37.960]红衣士兵在照看火药
[06:40.270]她正静静的站立
[06:44.670]马蹄声响在严冬的沉寂里
[06:47.300]马蹄声响在夜晚的回声中
[06:50.310]他越来越近了
[06:52.950]她的脸上有了明亮的光彩
[06:55.840]她睁大眼睛
[06:58.600]最后一次深深呼吸
[07:01.340]然后把手指移入月光里
[07:04.230]她的步枪撕碎了月光
[07:07.360]撕碎了她的胸口 就在月光下
[07:09.850]她用死亡来向他示警
[07:14.440]他掉转马头 折回西方
[07:16.950]他并不知道
[07:19.920]她正站立如弓 头倚步枪
[07:22.500]血染霓裳
[07:25.390]黎明之前 终于知道了事情的经过
[07:28.210]他面如死灰
[07:31.400]噢 贝丝 房东的女儿
[07:33.830]房东的女儿 黑眼睛的姑娘
[07:36.700]曾经在月光下守望着自己的爱情
[07:39.460]然后在黑暗中死去
[07:44.300]掉转马头 他像疯子一样狂奔
[07:46.540]诅咒的尖叫刺破天空
[07:49.370]他身后白色的道路飘摇如烟
[07:53.0]他挥舞长剑 直刺青天
[07:54.950]血红色的是马刺 镶嵌在金色的月亮中
[07:58.200]酒红色的是他的天鹅绒外衣
[08:00.600]当他们在路上将他射杀
[08:03.490]像条狗一样的躺倒在大路上
[08:06.250]他在倒在血泊里
[08:10.0]喉边飘散着一束饰带
[08:29.400]寂静的一个冬季寒夜 人们说
[08:32.200]当风是漆黑的激流正在树林间迸裂
[08:34.588]当月亮是魔鬼的帆船
[08:37.289]正被掷向阴霾笼罩的海面
[08:40.299]当道路是月光编织的丝带
[08:43.198]正漂浮于紫色的荒野
[08:45.758]一个强盗纵马而来
[08:48.899]飞奔 飞奔
[08:52.290]一个强盗纵马而来
[08:54.649]来到这古老的小客栈门前
