樂隊介紹
Nightwish(
夜願,港台譯名“
日暮頌歌”)是一支成立於1996年來自
芬蘭的劇院金屬(美聲金屬)樂隊。樂隊大多數歌曲的詞由鍵盤手托馬斯·霍洛帕尼所撰寫,前任女主唱塔雅·圖侖尼的聲音使得夜願揚名國際。在2005年10月塔雅·圖倫尼被開除後,他們找到了Anette接任,並且也增加了貝斯手馬可·希耶塔拉的聲部。夜願的音樂風格除了劇院金屬和
新金屬,還有其他音樂元素。托馬斯曾經形容他們的音樂為“用女聲表現的旋律金屬”。2012年10月,樂隊主唱Anette Olzon宣布離隊,前After Forever主唱Floor Jansen成為樂隊主唱,並且英國作曲家,
愛爾蘭肘風笛、錫哨演奏者Troy Donockley成為固定成員。
專輯簡介
Commented NIGHTWISH keyboardist and songwriter Tuomas Holopainen: “This beautiful quote from my hero Uncle Walt was the starting point for writing 'Élan'. The underlying theme of the song is nothing less than the meaning of life, which can be something different for all of us. It´s important to surrender yourself to the occasional 'free fall' and not to fear the path less travelled by. 'Élan' is a wonderful teaser for the full-length album, giving out a little taste, but revealing very little of the actual Journey of Grandeur to come…”

歌詞介紹
Élan - Nightwish
Leave the sleep and let the springtime talk
自夢中醒來
In tongues from the time before men
讓春天以時不待人的口吻細訴
Listen to a daffodil tell her tale
聽水仙講述自己的故事
Let the guest in, walk out
讓賓友前來
Be the first to greet the morn
出去迎接破曉
The meadows of heaven await harvest
伊甸草原靜候豐收
The cliffs unjumped, cold waters untouched
山崖未被跨越 幽泉未被擾動
The elsewhere creatures yet unseen
異獸未被發現
Finally you number came up
最終人齊
Free fall awaits the brave.
馳騁尚待勇氣
Come, taste the wine, race the blind
品嘗美酒摒棄藉口
They will guide you from the light
光明中會有指引
Writing noughts till the end of time
直至時間停滯筆耕方息
Come, surf the clouds, race the dark
乘雲馳騁沖開黑暗
It feeds from the runs undone
未完的路途正是動力之源
Meet me where the cliff greets the sea
與我約見於天涯海角
The answer to the riddle before your eyes
你眼前的謎底就在落葉中
Is in dead leaves and fleeting skies
就在稍縱即逝的天空里
Returning swans and sedulous mice
歸巢的天鵝、勤快的老鼠也瞭然於心
Writing on the garden's book,
花園書上的數行字
in the minute of a lover's look
猶如情人剎那一瞥
Building a sandcastle close to the shore
在岸邊建造砂礫城堡
A house of cards from a worn out deck
舊甲板上的紙牌屋
A home from a fellowship, poise and calm
老朋友的家寧靜溫馨
Write a lyric for the song
寫一首歌
Only you can understand
只有你才會明白
Come, taste the wine, race the blind
品嘗美酒摒棄藉口
They will guide you from the light
光明中會有指引
Writing noughts till the end of time
直至時間停滯筆耕方息
Come, surf the clouds, race the dark
乘雲馳騁沖開黑暗
It feeds from the runs undone
未完的路途正是動力之源
Meet me where the cliff greets the sea
與我約見於天涯海角
Riding hard every shooting star
奮力乘著流星
Come to life, open mind, have a laugh at the orthodox
放開心情投入生活笑別循規蹈矩
Come drink deep, let the dam of mind seep
來飲盡杯中酒讓思想的禁錮決堤
Travel with great élan, dance a jig at the funeral
全憑巨大的銳氣遨遊以吉格舞在葬禮中作追思
Come, taste the wine, race the blind
品嘗美酒摒棄藉口
They will guide you from the light
光明中會有指引
Writing noughts till the end of time
直至時間停滯筆耕方息
Come, surf the clouds, race the dark
乘雲馳騁沖開黑暗
It feeds from the runs undone
未完的路途正是動力之源
Meet me where cliff greets the sea.
與我約見於天涯海角
Come!
來吧!
