R.C.M之偽‧戒靈魔窟

　　是說最近發現一首歌，推薦這首歌的鄉民說的沒錯，寫這歌詞的人絕對看過刺客，鄉親啊，看過正傳的快來啊……

　　


　　這是Within Temptation樂團的Hand of Sorrow，直譯是悲痛之手。


附上歌詞，哪天有空再來做個翻譯練習：（謎：意思就是到明年都不會弄了（誤））

Within Temptation - Hand of Sorrow


The child without a name grew up to be the hand


To watch you, to shield you, or kill on demand


The choice he made he could not comprehend


He's got a grim secret they had to command




He's torn between his honor and the true love of his life


He prayed for both but was denied




So many dreams are broken and so much we sacrifice


Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind


So many years have past toward a noble land of lies


Will all our sins be justified?




The curse of his powers tormented his life


Obeying the crown was a sinister crime


His soul was tortured by love and by pain


He surely would flee but the oath made him stay




He's torn between his honor and the true love of his life


He prayed for both but was denied




So many dreams are broken and so much we sacrifice


Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind


So many years have past toward a noble land of lies


Will all our sins be justified?




Please forgive me for the sorrow


For leaving you in fear


For the dreams we had to silence


That's all there'll ever be


Still I'll be the hand that saves you


Though you'll not see that it is me




So many dreams are broken and so much we sacrifice


Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind


So many years have past toward a noble land of lies


Will all our sins be justified?

　　其實整首歌詞大體看下來，隨便帶入一個故事都行，但說這跟刺客有關，原因就在“The child without a name grew up to be the hand”與“Obeying the crown was a sinister crime”這兩句，前一句尤其是the hand，很容易就令人聯想到蜚滋成為皇家刺客這件事，而後一句，怎麼看都是沿海公國的大公們要拱蜚滋上王位那段，而且事實也證明這件事並不是什麼好事……


　　另外在看看其他扯的上關係的句子，“The choice he made he could not comprehend”嗯，當年小蜚滋被黠謀收買時，絕對沒有完全了解到底是怎麼回事。不過是說蜚滋也算很冷靜，換做我大概看到國王跪在自己面前就先嚇呆了。


　　“The curse of his powers tormented his life”不用多做註解，看過刺客的人都明白，不過想想，所謂的his powers也不單是光指精技與原智，廣義來說還包還了駿騎之子等身分吧。


　　最後倒數第二段，這我想，可以解做黠謀死前，蜚滋對他的『告白』吧，帶入惟真化龍反而有點怪怪的。


　　大體來看，其實只要看到《皇家刺客》，歌中旨趣大概都看的懂了，難道作詞家只看到這裡？不然的話惟真化龍應該會寫進去啊，這麼經典耶。


　　總之，作詞者到底有沒有參考刺客，我想這輩子我是無緣知曉，不過這樣亂搞亂聯想起來，老實說也挺有趣的，而且歌不錯聽啊。


　　最後，我發誓，近期內一定會把Nightwish的怨念介紹文寫出來，真的，對這團的愛實在太大了……
