谁知道Loreena Mokennitt

The Highwayman

演唱:Loreena MoKennitt

The Highwayman 是一个古老的叙事诗， 强盗爱上了小客栈老板的女儿，但被官兵追捕，美丽的女子用自己的鲜血警示了爱人。故事满足了我们对爱情的美好想象。强盗最终折返回来，与爱人共赴黄泉，虽然死得并不是很好看，“像条狗一样的躺倒在大路上”。

The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees
风是漆黑的激流，正在树林间迸裂
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon the cloudy seas
月亮是魔鬼的帆船，正被掷向阴霾笼罩的海面
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor
道路是月光编织的丝带，正漂浮于紫色的荒野
And the highwayman came riding,
强盗纵马而来
Riding, riding,
飞奔 飞奔
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.
强盗纵马而来，来到这古老的小客栈门前

He'd a French cocked hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,
他的前额压着法兰西三角帽，下颚饰带飘飘
A coat of claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin;
一件红如葡萄酒的天鹅绒外衣和褐色鹿皮马裤
