Di tanto in tanto, i Blind Guardian tornano nella nostra rubrica sulla musica ispirata al mondo Tolkieniano.
Oggi è la volta di Mirror Mirror, tratto dall’album “Nightfall in Middle-Earth”.
Il testo racconta di Turgon e di come lui, in vista di un’inevitabile sconfitta, costruisca Gondolin (con l’aiuto di Ulmo).…
Quando si parla di Musica tolkieniana, come non citare Eurielle?
Oggi per voi Luthien’s Lament ispirata dalle dolorose note che Lúthien ha recitato di fronte al trono di Mandos, quando giunse nelle Aule per impetrare la salvezza di Beren.
Oh great Mandos
High among Valar
I come to you in sorrow
And with a broken heartLong has been my journey
That led me to these halls
But now I kneel before thee
As grief my spirit callsI seek a man named Beren
Whom I bid await me here
I pledged that I would find him
Before he leaves this sphereThis man of whom I speak
He gave his life for me
But thence my soul grew weak
And at last it too broke freeSo borne upon an urgent breeze
I travelled to this place
Where only one thing could appease
The torment I now faceOh tell me I am not too late
To see my love once more
For that would be too cruel a fate
I beg him be restoredThat we may take a little time
To bid our last farewell
And remember all we shared erstwhile
Such joy no one could quellFor never was a greater love
Than that within our hearts
Once born, forever binding us
E’en though through death we part
Once born, forever binding us
E’en though through death we part
