When You Are Old · Fireside Poetry Duet

当你老了 · 炉边诗歌对唱

Firelight, an old book and stars overhead bring W. B. Yeats’s When You Are Old into a quiet evening. Celtic harp, soft piano, warm strings and low whistle surround a duet, weaving the poem through a new Pilgrim Soul refrain. Beauty changes with time; the song remembers the sorrows of a changing face, and the soul travelling through a lifetime.

Lyrics

[Intro]A book by fire, a fading light,A love remembered late at night.When you are old and grey and full of sleep,And nodding by the fire, take down this book,And slowly read, and dream of the soft lookYour eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;How many loved your moments of glad grace,And loved your beauty with love false or true,But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,And loved the sorrows of your changing face;[Refrain]Pilgrim soul, remember me,By the firelight tenderly.Many loved the morning flame,One loved sorrow, age, and name.And bending down beside the glowing bars,Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fledAnd paced upon the mountains overheadAnd hid his face amid a crowd of stars.[Instrumental Interlude][Bridge]Let the fire burn low, let the voice stay near,Let the old regret become clear.No sharp sorrow, no fading tone,Only love walking alone.[Final Refrain]Pilgrim soul, remember me,By the firelight tenderly.Many loved the morning flame,One loved sorrow, age, and name.[Outro]The stars grow quiet overhead,And love remembers what it said.

炉火、旧书与头顶的群星,把叶芝《当你老了》的深情带回一个安静夜晚。凯尔特竖琴、轻柔钢琴、暖弦乐与低音哨笛围绕对唱,原诗的句子与新写的“朝圣者灵魂”副歌交织。美貌会随时光改变,歌却愿意记住那张脸的忧伤,记住一个人走过一生的灵魂。
