《Prospero’s Speech》歌词

[00:00:01] Music by Loreena McKennitt

[00:00:02] Lyrics by William Shakespeare

[00:00:03] Arr. and adapted by Loreena McKennitt

[00:00:05] And now my charms are all o'erthrown,

[00:00:12] And what strength I have's mine own;

[00:00:20] Which is most faint; now t'is true,

[00:00:27] I must here be released by you,

[00:00:37] But release me from my bands

[00:00:45] With the help of your good hands.

[00:00:53] Gentle breath of yours my sails

[00:01:00] Must fill, or else my project fails,

[00:01:09] Which was to please.

[00:01:15] Which was to please. Now I want

[00:01:23] Spirits to enforce, art to enchant;

[00:01:33] And my ending is despair,

[00:01:41] Unless I be relieved by prayer,

[00:01:52] Which pierces so that it assaults

[00:02:00] Mercy itself and frees all faults.

[00:02:10] As you from your crimes would pardon'd be,

[00:02:19] Let your indulgence set me free.

[00:03:16] END
