Sleeping Sun
Nightwish Lyrics
The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

Спящее Солнце.
Спокойно Солнце засыпает
Впервые за столетье, и
Тоска объяла океаны,
Погасли алые огни.
Пылавшие потухли ласки,
И грёзы наполняют жизнь,
Как эта темнота прекрасна,
И веет в сердце свежий бриз.
Как хочется мне вместе с Солнцем
Уснуть, когда душа в слезах,
Поэту только остаётся
Искать слова и созерцать
Луну, мечтая плыть далёко
Без направленья, хоть куда,
И сердца боль, и вера в Бога
Помогут счастье отыскать.
И эта ночь пусть длится долго,
Со временем придёт исход,
Я с истиной останусь только
И встречу радостно восход,
Не потеряв любовь и веру
За двести двадцать дней пути.
И Солнце снова всех согреет,
И море снова заблестит.

The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping

With you
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping

hah, I actually had a ticket for Tarjas concert in the fall of 2022, or rather 2020 as it was postponed twice due to covid... I held to it for two years, but finally it was I who couldn't go, no postponing that way :(
