這首歌收錄於芬蘭交響金屬樂團日暮頌歌(Nightwish)於2007年的專輯《Dark Passion Play》當中。
An old man by a seashore at the end of day
一個老人站在夕陽西下時的海邊
Gazes the horizon with seawinds in his face
凝視著海平線,面對不息海風
Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same
在這孤島上,暴風不止,四季如一
Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name
沒上漆的錨地停著一艘無名船
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
被放逐的無名氏在這無際海上
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
燃起在世界之盡頭的這座燈塔
Showing the way, lighting hope in their hearts
明燈指引航向,也照亮遠行者們心中的希望
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
他們歸心似箭,返鄉路卻迢迢
This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world
此歌為湮沒的世界盡頭之光而唱
Horizon crying, the tears he left behind long ago
鳴泣的海平線,流下他早已忘卻的苦淚
The albatross is flying, making him daydream
翱翔的信天翁,乘載著他的故夢
The time before he became - one of the world's unseen
那段他未成世界浮生前的故往
Princess in the tower, children in the fields
囚禁於高塔中的公主,原野上嬉鬧的孩童們
Life gave him it all: an island of the universe
命運賜與他現有的一切:飄盪在宇宙中的孤島
Now his love`s a memory, a ghost in the fog
而今,他的摯愛已成過去,化作迷霧中的幽魂
He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world
他最後一次揚帆啟航,揮別這個世界
Anchor to the water, seabed far below
船錨沉水中,直墜深海底
Grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow
青草尚在靴底下,而喜悅攀上眉梢
This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world
此歌為湮沒的世界盡頭之光而唱
Horizon crying, the tears he left behind long ago
鳴泣的海平線,落下他已捨去的辛酸淚
So long ago
已入海中
So long ago
已隨風逝
This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world
此歌為湮沒的世界盡頭之光而唱
Horizon crying, the tears he left behind so long ago
鳴泣的海平線,落下早已不見的斑斑淚
So long ago
已不見痕
