《Britten: Nocturne for tenor， 7 obligato instruments & strings， Op. 60 - 2. ”Below The Thunders Of The Upper Deep”》歌词

[00:00:15] below the thunders of the upper deep,

[00:00:22] far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,

[00:00:30] his ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep

[00:00:38] the kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee

[00:00:58] about his shadowy sides; above him swell

[00:01:07] huge sponges of millennial growth and height;

[00:01:14] and far away into the sickly light,

[00:01:20] from many a wondrous grot and secret cell

[00:01:26] unnumber'd and enormous polypi

[00:01:34] winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.

[00:01:44] there hath he lain for ages, and will lie

[00:01:53] battening upon huge sea-worms in his sleep,

[00:02:02] until the latter fire shall heat the deep;

[00:02:09] then once by man and angels to be seen,

[00:02:15] in roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.
