Nightwish

This is their very first song, after which the band is named... Nightwish (translated by Maria Immortamo) Oh, setting Sun, Your red rays make me cry They remind me of a man, Whose love awaits me in the sky. We both await the marriage bed After I cross the threshold of death. I must die before my sorrows, I sent a Nightwish through the starry sky. I was awakened by the voice of the night winds, Which soothe me when I am sad. Tormented by my dreams and desires, I yearn for your caresses... We both await the marriage bed After I cross the threshold of death. I must die before my sorrows, I sent a Nightwish through the starry sky. "Resting in silence... A flute from an unseen kingdom Empties its heart, Giving me love With its enchanting melody Light of Orion Shadow of Andromeda Call of the dancing Universe I must love them, Before they accuse me of something, This is peace..." _____________________________________ And this, in my opinion, is Nightwish's "anthem" - their song "Nightquest" (The last verse...) Nightquest - quest not for the past But for tomorrow to make it last Simply the best - way to walk this life Hand in hand with the dreamers' minds Enter the realm, don't stay awake The dreams remain, they only brake Forget the task, enjoy the ride And follow us into the night First ones to guard this path of night Lady in black, Lady in white Followed by legions of night-time wanderers Guardians of the halls of heart When we from our homeland depart To challenge the gods of emptiness May the quest begin... And the translation is as follows: Nightquest - a quest not for the past But to make "tomorrow" last Simply the best way to live Hand in hand... Enter the kingdom, don't wake up Dreams remain, only stopping Forget about obligations, enjoy the journey And follow us into the night The first to guard this path - Lady in black and Lady in white Who were those who wandered in the night Those who guard the hearts, When we lose our way home, Demand the gods of emptiness - That's when the adventure begins...
