中午在家乐福外的地摊上买了一张Sting的专辑，英文原名是Songs from the Labyrinth。中文翻译的非常好，信、达、雅每一方面都做到了，叫《迷城之歌》。

单听这个名字，就让人感觉有种神秘的色彩。严格来讲，这张专辑是一张古典音乐唱片，Sting演唱的情歌皆出自伊丽莎白时代的作曲家John Dowland，由Sting和鲁特琴演奏家Edin Karamazov用鲁特琴联袂伴奏。我原来并不知道这张专辑，第一次听到其中的歌曲，是在美剧Sunset Boulevard：Studio 60中Sting客串演出的这首Come Again：

Come Again by John Dowland

Come again! sweet love doth now invite
Thy graces that refrain
To do me due delight,
To see, to hear, to touch, to kiss, to die,
With thee again in sweetest sympathy.

Come again! that I may cease to mourn
Through thy unkind disdain;
For now left and forlorn
I sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I die
In deadly pain and endless misery.

All the day the sun that lends me shine
By frowns doth cause me pine
And feeds me with delay;
Her smiles, my springs that makes my joy to grow,
Her frowns the winter of my woe.

All the night my sleeps are full of dreams,
My eyes are full of streams.
My heart takes no delight

Sting那沧桑的嗓音配上鲁特琴独特而优美的音色，实为天籁。

在土豆上搜了搜，发现在《日落大道：第60演播室》里Sting还表演了另外一首他自己的歌Fields of Gold，也是一听就着迷的：

Youll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
Youll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
Well forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that Ive broken
But I swear in the days still left
Well walk in the fields of gold
Well walk in the fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
Youll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
