I see the moonlight shining bright Now on the endless sea Bring the light of hope for lost hearts Guiding us in the dark... 我看见皎洁的月光， 在无风的海上； 让迷茫的心伴着希望， 迎接黎明的曙光……
In midnight air The waves are singing A lullaby so sweat and tender Bringing the peace in everyone's heart Through gentle ocean wind... 我在空中， 听见波涛的歌唱； 一首摇篮曲， 如此柔美、恬畅； 接着大海轻盈的呼吸， 将和平， 带入我们的心房……
Seasons, my friend Colour me So we can blend Forbid me to go I know so little About the wind When it blows Dreamer, dreamer I'm walking out of your dream Take me off that parade And place me somewhere In yours sense of a shades Your night shuts my door And I will not dream anymore See if I can pass by that waiting hand If I can pass by that wandering man If I can leave to get on See that it all makes sense pretty soon Dreamer, dreamer I'm walking out, while you go on
Dreamer, dreamer Dreamer, dreamer I'll be where I belong
Dreamer, dreamer Dreamer, dreamer I'm walking out, while you go on Dreamer, dreamer But dreamers don't go alone Dreamer, dreamer I'll be where I belong Dreamer, dreamer Stop me if i am wrong Dreamer, dreamer
音乐才女梶浦由記为日本人气动漫『姫 (HiME)』定身制作的原声OST，其中最出色的就是由宮村優子演唱的It's only the fairly tale，整首歌旋律轻盈优美，而令人意外的是听起来英文咬字并不是特别清晰的宮村優子唱起来却是独有一番味道，有时感觉发音更像日文发音。连贯不带一丝冗长的咬字方式就如同行云流水般穿梭于各个音符之间，加上宮村優子甜美的声线，使整首曲子更加悠扬动听。
Who are those little girls in pain 这些苦痛的少女们是谁？ just trapped in castle of dark side of moon 她们被囚禁在月亮背后的城堡里 Twelve of them shining bright in vain 这12位少女空虚的散发着光辉 like flowers that blossom just once in years 宛如数年才盛开一次的花朵一样 They're dancing in the shadow like whispers of love 她们如同爱情的呓语般舞动着 just dreaming of place where they're free as dove 仅仅梦想自己能像鸽子一样自由飞舞 They've never been allowed to love in this cursed cag 她们在这座被诅咒的牢笼中连恋爱都不被允许 It's only the fairy tale they belive 她们所深信的不过是个童话而已
i had a dream when i found the golden key saved all the poor and set the children free broke every chain and i could even fly i thought i'd be in the sky
i want to know where to find this golden key high on the mountain or deep down in the sea they said all roads come together one day but where i find my own way
so listen to your soul the way to reach your goal it's way to deep inside just turst your inner god so overcome your fear and find your treasure here on searching for a land you've forgotten in your heart
you can be a hero it's more than mystery but word of courage can make the darkness flee there's that one know where the one of weakness gone and time i'm trying on
so listen to your soul the way to reach your goal it's way to deep inside just turst your inner god so overcome your fear and find your treasure here on searching for a land you've forgotten in your heart

8. Danny Boy - Jacintha(择仙花)
Here's to Ben: A Vocal Tribute to Ben Webster 中文名称：向本·韦伯斯特致敬 专辑歌手：Jacintha 择仙花 发行时间：1999年
Danny Boy（丹尼男孩）是一首非常著名的爱尔兰民谣，为多名歌手所翻唱。与The Last Rose of Summer（《夏日里最后一朵玫瑰》）及Johnny’s gone for a soldier（约翰尼去当兵）一起并称为爱尔兰最负盛名的三首民谣。
oh danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling. from glenn to glenn and down the mountain side. the summer's gone and all the roses falling it's you, it's you must go and i must bide.
but come ye back when summer's in the meadow. or when the valley's hushed and white with snow. it's i'll be there in sunshine or in shadow oh danny boy, oh danny boy i love you so.
but when ye come and all the flowers are dying. if i am dead as dead i will may be. ye come and find the place where i am lying. and kneel and say an "ave" there for me.
and i shall hear those soft you tread above me and all my grave will warmer sweeter be. for you will bend and tell me that you love me and i shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
Talk To Me 中文名称：Talk To Me 专辑歌手：Frances Black 发行时间：1994年
第一次听到Frances Black的All the lies that you told me，就被她那甜美的声线深深吸引住了，之后便迫不及待在网上搜有关她的资源，可惜能找到的并不是很多。其中她在2000年发行的专辑《The Smile On Your Face》凭借其齿音和咬字的准确性达到惊人的程度，录音之清晰，透明度之高，使人震惊，音场定位无懈可击，成为发烧女声典范之作。
All the lies that you told me, all the tears that I've cried All the loving you gave me, it was a lie I could never imagine, when I felt so high That there could be somebody new Better than you in my life
When I woke up this morning, with tears in my eyes I never felt more like saying goodbye I could never imagine, when I felt so high That there could be somebody new Better than you in my life
Am I just fooling myself? Could there be somebody else? Could there be somebody new, waiting around the corner? Yes there is, waiting for you, waiting for someone like you
All the nights that you told me, all your loving was mine And I wanted to listen, to all of your lies I could never imagine, when I felt so high That there could be somebody new Better than you in my life
Am I just fooling myself? Could there be somebody else? Could there be somebody new, waiting around the corner? Yes there is, waiting for you, waiting for someone like you
Skellig出自Loreena McKennitt 1997年发行的专辑《The Book Of Secrets》，忧伤婉转的小提琴和风笛前奏，从Loreena McKennitt开腔的第一声起仿佛就将听者的内心带入她那广阔的音乐故事当中，而故事也随着乐曲的旋律、Loreena McKennitt的嗓音慢慢深入听者内心世界，既让人沉醉，又让人期待...
