The Crow, the owl ant the dove
- from "Imaginaerum", by Nightwish
Don’t give me love, don’t give me faith
Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead
Don’t give me love, I’ve had my share
Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead
A crow flew to me, kept its distance
Such a proud creation
I saw its soul, envied its pride
But needed nothing it had
An owl came to me, old and wise
Pierced right through my youth
I learned its ways, envied its sense
But needed nothing it had
*Don’t give me love, don’t give me faith
Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead
Don’t give me love, I’ve had my share
Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead
A dove came to me, had no fear
It rested on my arm
I touched its calm, envied its love
But needed nothing it had
A swan of white, she came to me
The lake mirrored her beauty sweet
I kissed her neck, adored her grace
But needed nothing she could give
^Gar tuht river, ger te rheged
Gar tuht river, ger te rheged
Gar tuht river, ger te rheged
(repeat^)
(repeat*x3)

老實說，《Imaginaerum》這一整片讚得讓我想燒錢買原版啊啊——
裡面每一首都很棒，而且歌詞也都很好；其中這一首〈The crow, the owl and the dove〉讓我感觸還滿深的啦⋯⋯
先說我其實對什麼西方俗諺還是哪個名人金句一點都不懂，所以開頭的幾句⋯⋯據說是從不知哪位的名句轉化來的就請自行估狗了。
但是這首歌裡面講的四種鳥（對，四種⋯⋯但是歌名不知道為什麼卻只有三種 XD），我覺得在我們日常週遭不乏這樣的人吧。
首先是烏鴉，自信有氣魄——呃、不就是那些總是寫著文章還是說話勉勵普羅大眾的所謂成功人士嗎？
然後是年長睿智的貓頭鷹⋯⋯大概就是長輩吧。
第三種的鴿子我一直到看到天鵝才確定他們兩個，一個是大愛、一個是小愛。鴿子應該就是——呃、我絕對沒有任何褒貶之意——宗教團體啦廢死聯盟啦人本什麼的吧。
不過說真的，這幾種人都有值得令人欽羨的優點吧，只是我們也不是一定必須接受這種價值觀吧⋯⋯嗯，這首歌基本上讓我感覺是這樣啦～總之是很棒的一首歌啊⋯⋯
P.S.我真的不想去比較Nightwish前後兩任主唱孰優孰劣，畢竟這是個團，最後還是看整體感覺吧。總之《Imaginaerum》這片超贊，幾乎要勝過我對《Once》那片的愛了啊 XDD
