Hear the rime of the ancient mariner
See his eye as he stops one of three
Mesmerizes one of the wedding guests
Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea
See his eye as he stops one of three
Mesmerizes one of the wedding guests
Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea
And the music plays on, as the bride passes by
Caught by his spell and the mariner tells his tale
Caught by his spell and the mariner tells his tale
Driven south to the land of the snow and ice
To a place where nobody's been
Through the snow fog flies on the albatross
Hailed in God's name, hoping good luck it brings
And the ship sails on, back to the North
Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on
To a place where nobody's been
Through the snow fog flies on the albatross
Hailed in God's name, hoping good luck it brings
And the ship sails on, back to the North
Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on
The mariner kills the bird of good omen
His shipmates cry against what he's done
But when the fog clears, they justify him
And make themselves a part of the crime
His shipmates cry against what he's done
But when the fog clears, they justify him
And make themselves a part of the crime
Sailing on and on and north across the sea
Sailing on and on and north 'til all is calm
Sailing on and on and north 'til all is calm
The albatross begins with its vengeance
A terrible curse, a thirst has begun
His shipmates blame bad luck on the mariner
About his neck the dead bird is hung
A terrible curse, a thirst has begun
His shipmates blame bad luck on the mariner
About his neck the dead bird is hung
And the curse goes on and on and on at sea
And the thirst goes on and on for them and me
And the thirst goes on and on for them and me
Day after day, day after day, we stuck, no breath nor motion
As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean
Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink
As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean
Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink
"There", calls the mariner, "There comes a ship over the line"
"But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide?"
"See, onward she comes"
"Onward she nears, out of the sun"
"See, she has no crew, she has no life"
"Wait but there's two"
"But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide?"
"See, onward she comes"
"Onward she nears, out of the sun"
"See, she has no crew, she has no life"
"Wait but there's two"
Death and she, Life in Death, they throw their dice for the crew
She wins the mariner and he belongs to her now
Then, crew one by one
They drop down dead, two hundred men
She, she, Life-in-Death
She lets him live, her chosen one
She wins the mariner and he belongs to her now
Then, crew one by one
They drop down dead, two hundred men
She, she, Life-in-Death
She lets him live, her chosen one
One after one by the star dogged moon
Too quick for groan or sigh
Each turned his face with a ghastly pang
And cursed me with his eye
Four times 50 living men
(And I heard nor sigh nor groan)
With heavy thump, a lifeless lump
They dropped down, one by one
Too quick for groan or sigh
Each turned his face with a ghastly pang
And cursed me with his eye
Four times 50 living men
(And I heard nor sigh nor groan)
With heavy thump, a lifeless lump
They dropped down, one by one
The curse it lives on in their eyes
The mariner he wished he'd die
Along with the sea creatures
But they lived on, so did he
The mariner he wished he'd die
Along with the sea creatures
But they lived on, so did he
And by the light of the moon
He prays for their beauty not doom
With heart he blesses them
God's creatures all of them too
He prays for their beauty not doom
With heart he blesses them
God's creatures all of them too
Then the spell starts to break
The albatross falls from his neck
Sinks down like lead into the sea
Then down in falls comes the rain, ha, ha, ha
The albatross falls from his neck
Sinks down like lead into the sea
Then down in falls comes the rain, ha, ha, ha
Hear the groans of the long dead seamen
See them stir and they start to rise
Bodies lifted by good spirits
None of them speak and they're lifeless in their eyes
See them stir and they start to rise
Bodies lifted by good spirits
None of them speak and they're lifeless in their eyes
And revenge is still sought, penance starts again
Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on
Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on
Now the curse is finally lifted
And the mariner sights his home
Spirits go from the long dead bodies
Form their own light and the mariner's left alone
And the mariner sights his home
Spirits go from the long dead bodies
Form their own light and the mariner's left alone
And then a boat came sailing towards him
It was a joy he could not believe
The pilot's boat, his son and the hermit
Penance of life will fall onto him
It was a joy he could not believe
The pilot's boat, his son and the hermit
Penance of life will fall onto him
And the ship it sinks like lead into the sea
And the hermit shrives the mariner of his sins
And the hermit shrives the mariner of his sins
The mariner's bound to tell of his story
To tell this tale wherever he goes
To teach God's word by his own example
That we must love all things that God made
To tell this tale wherever he goes
To teach God's word by his own example
That we must love all things that God made
And the wedding guest's a sad and wiser man
And the tale goes on and on and on and on
And the tale goes on and on and on and on
원작은 영시 입니다. 원문 번역은 길어서....검색해보니 삽화까지 넣어서 잘 번역해 놓은게 있군요.
18세기 후반부터 19세기 초반, 캐리비안의 해적같은 당시 바다에 대한 속설을 엿볼 수 있습니다.
이후에 만들어진 귀스타브 도레의 판화도 멋있습니다. 당대에는 꽤나 히트작이었던 거 같음.
외국에서는 80년대 중반에 마이너 장르였던 스래쉬 메탈의 음반이, 90년대 초반에 우리나라에서 해금이 되기 시작함.
그 전까지는 성음,예음,희지,같은 이상한 음반사에서 발매한 짜깁기 음반이나 빽판을 들어야 했습니다.
곡 제목 번역도 황당했음. 아래는 성음판 메탈리카 3집 입니다.
성음은 그나마 낫고 희지판 음반은 극악의 퀄리티였음.
인터넷 뒤져보니 있네요. 희지판 메탈리카 입니다.
seek and destroy가 '모두 다 파괴해요'라고 되어있는데, '찾아서 파괴해요' 라고 번역한 것도 있다고 합니다.
