The Maiden and the Selkie - Heather Dale
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Once a fair and handsome Seal Lord
英俊潇洒的海豹领主
Lay his foot upon the sand
踏上金色沙滩
For to woo the Fisher's daughter
为追求渔夫的爱女
And to claim her marriage hand
许下婚姻誓言
'I have come in from the ocean
"我自深海而来
I have come in from the sea
穿越汹涌波涛
And I'll not go to the waves love
若不能与你同行
Lest ye come along with me '
绝不重返浪涛"
'Lord long have I loved you
吾爱 长久以来我深爱着你
As a Selkie on the foam
如浪花间的海豹精灵
I would gladly go and wed ye
我愿欣然与你结为连理
And be lady of your home
成为你宫殿的女主人
But I cannot go into the ocean
可我无法踏入那片汪洋
I cannot go into the sea
我无法进入深海之境
I would drown beneath the waves love
亲爱的 若随你同去
If I went along with thee '
我将在浪涛下溺亡
'Lady long have I loved you
姑娘啊 我深爱你已久
I would have you for my wife
愿娶你为妻相守
I will stay upon your shoreland
我愿驻留在你岸边
Though it robs me of my life
纵使生命因此消逝
I will stay one night beside you
我愿整夜伴你身旁
Never go back to the sea
永不再回归海洋
I will stay and be thy husband
我愿留下成为你的丈夫
Though it be the death of me '
哪怕这会将我埋葬
Dae dae dae da da dae dae
'Lord I cannot go and wed thee
“领主啊 我不能嫁给你
All to watch my lover die
眼睁睁看着爱人逝去
Since I'll not be left a widow
既然不愿守寡度日
I have a plan for us to try
我有个计划要与你商议
Let us speak with my grandmother
让我们去请教祖母
Who has ever dwelt beside the sea
她曾长居海边不离
She may know some trick or treasure
或许知晓秘法或珍宝”
That I may wed my fair Selkie '
只为迎娶我美丽的塞尔姬
So they've gone to her grandmother's
于是他们寻至她祖母的
Little cottage by the sea
海边那座小小木屋
To inquire how a maiden
询问一位少女
Can be wed to her Selkie
如何与她的塞尔基缔结良缘
For the Selkie's watery kingdom
因那塞尔基的深海王国
Would surely rob her of her breath
必将夺走她的呼吸
But to stay on land past midnight
若在陆地停留至午夜之后
It would surely be his death
这必将夺走他的生命
'Lord I know not how to aid you
“领主啊 我不知如何救你”
You may never live on shore
你永远无法在岸上生存
For your kind to live 'til dawning
你的族群若要活到黎明
It has ne'er been seen before
这是前所未见的事情
But my mother had a seal coat
但我母亲有件海豹皮衣
That she buried 'neath the tree
她将它埋在树下
And she told me that its wearer
她说穿上这件皮衣的人
Would become a fair Selkie '
将化作美丽海豹女
Dae dae dae da da dae dae
So they've journeyed farther inland
他们向着内陆远行
Though the Seal Lord's getting weak
海豹领主日渐虚弱
And she's shouldering the shovel
她扛起沉重铁铲
To unearth the thing they seek
挖掘埋藏的秘密
At the rising of the fullmoon
当满月升起之时
Underneath the elfen oak
在精灵橡树之下
She has unearthed that faery treasure
她寻获了祖母所说的
Of which her grandmother spoke
那件精灵宝藏
Just before the stroke of midnight
就在午夜钟声敲响前
They have made it back to sea
他们已重返海洋
And she has donned the magic seal coat
她披上那件神奇海豹皮衣
And become a maid Selkie
化作塞克尔族少女
Now they've gone into the ocean
如今他们已潜入深海
Hand in hand into the sea
手牵手 共赴深海
She has gone along
她已随波而去
A fair seal bride for a Selkie
化作海豹新娘 与领主相依
Dae dae dae da da dae dae
