The Music of the Night

 

 

Nighttime ¹⁾sharpens, ²⁾heightens each sensation

Darkness ³⁾stirs and wakes imagination

Silently the senses ⁴⁾abandon their defenses

 

Slowly, gently, night ⁵⁾unfurls its ⁶⁾splendor¹

Grasp it, sense it, ⁷⁾tremulous and tender

Turn your face away from the ⁸⁾garish² light of day

Turn your face away from cold, ⁹⁾unfeeling light

And listen to the music of the night

 

Close you eyes and ¹⁰⁾surrender to your darkest dreams

Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before

Close your eyes, let your spirit start to ¹¹⁾soar

And you’ll live as you’ve never lived before

 

Softly, ¹²⁾deftly³, music shall ¹³⁾caress⁴ you

Hear it, feel it, secretly ¹⁴⁾possess you

Open up your mind, let your fantasies ¹⁵⁾unwind

In this darkness which you know you cannot fight

The darkness of the music of the night  CE

 

 

02、夜的乐章

 

夜幕激扬起丰富的情感

暮色拨醒了遐想

理智的防堤悄然隐退

 

慢慢地，温柔地，夜色铺开壮景

把握它，感受它，每一丝的震颤纤细

远离日之华彩

远离那冰冷无情的日光

来倾听这夜的乐章

 

闭上双眼吧，潜入你幽深的梦境

远离你熟知尘世的一切思想

闭上双眼，让灵魂去翱翔

穿越余生，如获新生

 

温柔地，轻巧地，乐章抚慰着你的心灵

聆听吧，感受吧，它悄悄地充溢着灵魂

开启你的心扉，展开你的幻想

夜色中无法抵抗地沉醉于

这深遂的夜的乐章 CE
