歌词
One day, in the year of the fox
Came a time remembered well
When the strong young man
Of the rising sun
Heard the tolling of the great black bell
One day in the year of the fox
When the bell began to ring
It meant the time
Had come for one to go
To the temple of the king
[Chorus]
There in the middle of the circle he stands
Searching, seeking
With just one touch of his trembling hand
The answer will be found
Daylight waits while the old man sings
Heaven help me!
And then like the rush of a thousand wings
It shines upon the one
And the day had just begun
(Uh uh uhh...)
[Verse 2]
One day, in the year of the fox
Came a time remembered well
When the strong young man of the rising sun
Heard the tolling of the great black bell
One day in the year of the fox
When the bell began to sing
It meant the time had come for the one to go
To the temple of the king
[Chorus]
There in the middle of the people he stands
Seeing, feeling
With just a wave of a strong right hand, he's gone
To the temple of the king
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Far from the circle, at the edge of the world
He's hoping, wondering
Thinking back from the stories he's heard of
What he's going to see
There, in the middle of a circle it lies
Heaven help me!
Then all could see by the shine in his eyes
The answer had been found
[Outro]
Back with the people in the circle he stands
Giving, feeling
With just one touch of a strong right hand, they know
Of the temple and the king
(Uh uh uhh...)

多添一点:
今天分享一首Rainbow(彩虹乐队) 的《Temple Of The King》。
这首歌来自他们1975年8月发行的《Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow》,这是他们的首张专辑,受到外界一致好评。
这首歌的作者是主唱Ronnie James Dio和吉他手Ritchie Blackmore。首先来看下这支乐队。这支乐队的创始人是之前我们推过的乐队 Deep Purple(深紫)乐队的吉他手。其他成员还包括前Elf主唱Ronnie James Dio,贝斯手Craig Gruber,鼓手Gary Driscoll和键盘手Micky Lee Soule。乐队1975开始组建,1999年解散。
乐队名字的灵感来自于彩虹酒吧和烧烤,那是一家位于加州洛杉矶的餐馆,为摇滚明星、流行乐队迷和摇滚爱好者提供服务。正是在这里,Ritchie 度过了远离深紫乐队的一段休息时间,遇到了Ronnie James Dio。Dio的Elf乐队曾经作为深紫乐队的开场表演过。意气相投的他们就一起录制了歌曲,就自然的形成了乐队。这张专辑便是这波人录制的。接下来Ritchie是每张专辑换一波人,换到最后解散了。就像他们乐队的名字一样,彩虹,美好却容易消散。
回到这首歌,《Temple Of The King》描述了一段通往神秘的国王寺庙的精神之旅,在那里他找到了自己的答案。Blackmore早在瑜伽流行之前就迷上了它,他说他是在看一个名为“健康瑜伽”的节目时产生创作这首歌的想法的。
1975年,他对朋友说:“很多人喜欢这首歌,很多年纪较大的人喜欢它,因为它更柔和,不只是对耳朵的攻击。”“不过,每张专辑最多只能有一两首这样的歌曲。而且,我们可能不会在舞台上表演,因为中间部分的声音非常奇怪——我认为这不是一个合适的舞台表演曲目,我们会让每个人睡着的。”
关于他在这首歌中使用的乐器演奏,Blackmore说:“有两把古典吉他和一把电吉他,但是电吉他的声音不是很明显。它有一个中世纪的和弦进行,中间是弦乐合奏/mellotron之类的东西。”
