The Mummers’ Dance 描写的是春季Stratford 的一个夜晚,婆娑的树叶衬托蓝色的天空,随着风而摇摆的树枝条,好像是一群人在默默的不停的舞蹈。The Mummers’ Dance 的歌词灵感来自于Loreena 自己1985年的一段读书笔记。



When in the springtime of the year

在一年之春

When the trees are crowned with leaves

当树木深陷在繁茂的叶群

When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew 1

当岑树和橡树,和白桦树、紫杉

Are dressed in ribbons fair

被美丽的缎带装饰一新

When owls 2 call the breathless moon

当猫头鹰呼唤无息的月

In the blue veil of the night

在夜幕的蓝色面纱下

The shadows of the trees appear

树影浮现

Amidst the lantern light

在灯笼的亮光中

We've been rambling 3 all the night

我们已漫游一夜

And some time of this day

还有白天的一些时间

Now returning back again

现在又回来了

We bring a garland gay

我们带来了头戴鲜花的快乐

Who will go down to those sh groves 4

它会走入荫蔽的小树林

And summon the shadows there

集起那边的阴影

And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms

并且在庇护之臂上系上丝带

In the springtime of the year

在一年之春

The songs of birds seem to fill the wood

鸟儿的歌好象充满了整个树林

That when the fiddler plays

当琴者拨弄时

All their voices can be heard

你听到它们的歌唱

Long past their woodland days

远远地穿过它们的林中岁月

And so they linked their hands and danced

所以它们手拉手,跳起舞

Round in circles and in rows

成列成环地跳着

And so the journey of the night descends 5

而于是夜色中的旅行开始了

When all the shades are gone

当所有的林荫消失时

"A garland gay we bring you here

我们为你带来带满鲜花的快乐

And at your door we stand

我们站在你的门前

It is a sprout 6 well budded out

那是个顺利萌发的幼苗

The work of our lord's hand"

杰作出自我们的主.
