Lady in Black钢琴谱-URIAH HEEP

Lady in Black是英国摇滚乐队URIAH HEEP所演唱的的一首歌曲。来自英国的URIAH HEEP凭借其学院派前卫重金属风格使自己成为了70年代早期最受欢迎的硬摇滚乐队之一。

乐队于60年代末由主唱David Byron和吉他手Mick Box组建，在随后的20年中，有将近30位乐手先后加入过该乐队！在这里，我们没有介绍每位成员，只需要记得URIAH HEEP的经典三人创作组合（即David Byron/Mick Box/Ken Hensley）就够了。

She came to me one morning,

清晨，她向着我走来

one lonely Sunday morning,

在一个万物休憩的早晨

her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind.

在寒冬中，风吹起飘逸的长发

I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking,

我不知道她是怎么发现我的，因为我一直在黑暗中前行

and destruction lay around me from a fight I could not win.

一场不会胜利的战争，四处的墙垣碎砾

Ah ah ah ...

Ah ah ah ...

She asked me name my foe then.

她问我将要与谁战斗

I said the need within some men

我说对于某些人而言，他们必须

to fight and kill their brothers without thought of love or god.

冷酷无情地与同胞兄弟们战斗，甚至大开杀戒

And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies,

我恳请她能给我一匹战马，好让我踏平敌人的庄园，重返故土

so eager was my passion to devour this waste of life.

我多么渴望一切能重头来过

Ah ah ah ...

Ah ah ah ...

But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals,

然而她不愿看到兽性般的同胞相残

so easy to begin and yet impossible to end.

当初年少轻狂，轻易地踏上这条无尽之路

For she the mother of all men who counseled me so wisely then

那时，她用最真诚无私的爱，循循善诱地劝诫着我

I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay.

我好害怕会再独自行走，我不由地问她是否会留下来

Ah ah ah ...

Ah ah ah ...

"Oh lady lend your hand," I cried,

哦，女孩你能来牵住战马的缰绳，我强忍着哀伤

"Oh let me rest here at your side."

哦，好让我在你的身边休憩

"Have faith and trust in me,"

我是真诚的，请你要相信我

she said and filled my heart with life.

她说着，用生活的点点滴滴填入我的内心

There is no strength in numbers.

是你的真诚无私的爱，没有任何强求

I've no such misconception.

我知道，这是真的

But when you need me be assured I won't be far away.

然而当你要我保证不会再远赴杀场

Ah ah ah ...

Ah ah ah ...

Thus having spoke she turned away

就这样说着说着，她却转身而去

and though I found no words to say

而我却不知该如何挽回

I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear.

我只能站在那，看着她的黑色斗篷渐渐地消失

My labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone.

虽然路依旧艰难，然而我知道我并孤独

I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day.

每次我感受到内心的变化，就会记起那个寒风吹起的日子

And if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise.

要是有一天她能来与你把酒言欢，谈天说地

Take courage from her as your prize and say hello for me.

那你一定要珍惜，勇敢地告诉她心中所想，并向她表达我最真诚的问候

Ah ah ah ...

Ah ah ah ...
