The Conqueror Worm II (instr.)
蠕虫征服者
【歌词】
Lo! 'tis a gala night
Within the lonesome latter years!
An angel throng, bewinged, bedight
In veils, and drowned in tears,
Sit in a theatre, to see
A play of hopes and fears,
While the orchestra breathes fitfully
The music of the spheres.
瞧！这是一个节日的夜
在多年的孤独寂寞之后！
一群天使，收拢翅膀， 遮戴
面纱，潸然泪流满面，
坐在空旷剧场，观看
希望与恐怖的剧目，
此间乐队时断时续
奏响天籁之音。Mimes, in the form of God on high,
Mutter and mumble low,
And hither and thither fly -
Mere puppets they, who come and go
At bidding of vast formless things
That shift the scenery to and fro,
Flapping from out their Condor wings
Invisible Woe!
一群小丑，在高空装扮上帝
含糊其辞，喃喃自语
在头顶上空盘旋飞舞——
他们都是玩偶，来了又去
被巨大的虚无绑定
场景不断幻化转变
他们抖动秃鹫般翅膀
宣泄内心悲哀！That motley drama - oh, be sure
It shall not be forgot!
With its Phantom chased for evermore,
By a crowd that seize it not,
Through a circle that ever returneth in
To the self-same spot,
And much of Madness, and more of Sin,
And Horror the soul of the plot.
五颜六色的哑剧——哦，当然
引人入胜难以忘怀！
追逐有名无实无止境
人潮涌动令幻影丛生
周而复始的怪圈眩晕
从原点到零点
充满疯狂，充斥着罪恶
阴谋诡计造就恐怖魂灵。But see, amid the mimic rout
A crawling shape intrude!
A blood-red thing that writhes from out
The scenic solitude!
It writhes! - it writhes! - with mortal pangs
The mimes become its food,
And seraphs sob at vermin fangs
In human gore imbued.
快看哟，在那潮涌的玩偶中
闯入一个蠕动的怪物！
那浑身血红的可怕怪物
从黑暗角落痛苦爬出来！
它扭曲着——它蠕动着！致命的痛苦，
玩偶成了它的饕餮，
天使们呜咽哭泣，看蠕虫尖牙利齿咬噬
把人类的鲜血感染。Out - out are the lights - out all!
And, over each quivering form,
The curtain, a funeral pall,
Comes down with the rush of a storm,
While the angels, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, "Man,"
And its hero the Conqueror Worm.
熄灭——熄灭灯光——全部的光！
笼罩住每一个颤抖的躯壳
帷幕像一块巨大的裹尸布
疾风暴雨般垂落
此刻天使的面孔，苍白血色全无
缓缓飞起，揭下面纱，断言到
这幕悲剧唤作“人”
征服者是那只蠕虫。
