18 — 萨拉曼卡的迷宫 | Salamanca Mandarin

Alternative rock, indie rock, Spanish-Moorish orchestral

[Sung entirely in Mandarin Chinese. Natural Mandarin pronunciation; all narrative lines sung, never spoken.]

街道转向月亮，
月亮转向门廊；
唐费利克斯追着美人，
却总是无法追上。

一扇窗忽然亮起，
钟声敲过三点；
同一个街角迎接他，
仿佛一切初次相见。

[VERSE 2 — THE IMPOSSIBLE CITY]
[124 BPM — 7/8 — 2+2+3]
[PLAYFUL, SLIGHTLY UNSETTLING]
[VIOLIN AND GUITAR EXCHANGE SHORT MOTIFS]

广场有七道门，
没有两道通向同处；
一道通往教堂，
一道送回旧酒馆。

塔楼缓缓旋转，
河水升向钟盘；
石间的一眼喷泉，
唱着无声的乐章。

[CHORUS — THE LOST PATH]
[132 BPM — 6/8]
[MEMORABLE, SWEEPING MELODY]
[LADY'S THEME FORMS THE VOCAL HOOK]
[VIOLIN AND CELLO COUNTERMELODIES]

道路在哪里结束？
昨日从哪里开始？
长夜改写了命运，
只为敢于归来的人。

白衣女子，别走远，
让我看看你的双眼。
街道不断换了名字，
我却又与你相见。

[ELVIRA'S THEME IN CELLO]

每面镜子里还有一道门，
每道门后又一座花园；
每座花园仍是那个女子，
永远离我越来越远。

谁移动萨拉曼卡的天空？
谁改变时间与常理？
女子依旧不看他，
他仍然听见她的歌。

十三声钟响……
城市已经不复存在。
女子在阴影里等候，
而他再也回不来。
