這首的原唱是愛爾蘭吉他英雄Gary Moore,後來被Nightwish第一任主唱Tarja翻唱一個聲樂唱法的版本

再來是Storm Seeker的主唱Patricia (Patty Gurdy)搭配她拿手的Hurdy Gurdy及團員的大提琴做了一個民謠風的cover

三種版本各有特色,但這首歌在講的其實是一個綠光罩頂的故事......

 

這是1987年Gary Moore的原唱(逝世於2011)

 

這是Nightwish的翻唱版,Tarja的嗓音加強了戲劇性,北歐天團在拍MV真的超有劇情性(誠意滿滿)

 

最後是我最喜歡的版本,Patricia的輕民謠版,這MV還特寫了古色古香的Hurdy Gurdy演奏畫面唷~

 

They came for him one winter's night

在一個冬夜,警察們前來
Arrested, he was bound

他被五花大綁地拿下
They said there'd been a robbery

His pistol had been found

They marched him to the station house

He waited for the dawn

And as they led him to the dock

He knew that he'd been wronged

"You stand accused of robbery,"

"你犯下搶案的罪名已確立"
He heard the bailiff say

He knew without an alibi

Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom

Over the hills and far away

越過山丘,遙遠的彼方
For ten long years he'll count the days

未來漫長的十年他將數著日子度過
Over the mountains, and the seas

在群山之間,在海之上
A prisoner's life for him there'll be

He knew that it would cost him dear

But yet he dare not say

A secret it must stay

His heart beat like a drum

Back in her arms he swear he'll be

Each night within his prison cell

He looks out through the bars

他透過鐵欄向外望
He reads the letters that she wrote

One day he'll know the taste of freedom
