Tune: Double Rings Unchained
Memories of the Alhambra
By William He
In the hedgerow of cottage-hill, On the wall of the forsaken castle, Heaven hath her golden bough. Sheer scale and grandeur, Cursive and kufic writings engraved, Sarcogyps calvus is curious, Melted silver flows through the pearls. Dazzling Myrtles, fuchsia and purple, In Patio de los Arrayanes, They all in low spirits many a time. Moorish lattice of my dreams, I excel through the generosity of, The imam Muhammad for all.
Heroic bosom beats no more in the mirador. Degenerating into Tarrega's hands, The rhythm divine chords in those days. Time and fantasies are fermenting, Amusement dissipates the nostalgia, Duero River no longer flowing backwards, The magic sink deep within year by year. Infidel might efface the moon, In the sight of Khamsa, Satan is creating bad blood. Some Sigh for prophet's Paradise, Wandering about in the vault of the sky.

阿尔罕布拉宫回忆
作者:何威廉
野林罗幔。 正楼台夕照, 掩荫丘甸。 七叠门, 雕柱镌铭, 黑鹫对、 狮庭曳泉流溅。 琼苑金娘, 怅红堡、 销沉凄惋。 昔回廊满月, 洞彻紫冥, 忏拔灵唤。
珠帘玉舆靖献。 念弹弦暖响, 霓袖鸾殿。 只景光、 封恨歌云, 似杜水西流, 曼吟无倦。 惊梦孤山, 法蒂玛, 清宵余怨。 又几声叹息, 深浅几分惑眩。
Note:
“Golden bough”: One of the most famous paintings by Joseph Mallord William Turner. The painting incident in the Aeneid Frazer attempted to define the shared elements of religious belief and scientific thought, discussing fertility rites, human sacrifice, the dying god, the scapegoat, and many other symbols and practices whose influences had extended into 20th-century culture.
“Tarrega”: Francisco Tarrega was a Spanish composer and classical guitarist of the Romantic period. He is known for such pieces as Recuerdos de la Alhambra. He is often called "the father of classical guitar" and is considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
"Rhythm Divine": A song by Spanish recording artist Enrique Iglesias, taken from his fourth studio album and debut English-language record Enrique. It was released on 9 October 1999 by Interscope Records as the second single from the project. The song was written by Paul Barry and Mark Taylor, while production was handled by Taylor and Brian Rawling. An accompanying music video was directed by Francis Lawrence. The single sold over 3 million copies in 2000.
“Khamsa”: The hamsa is a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa and commonly used in jewelry and wall hangings. Depicting the open right hand, an image recognized and used as a sign of protection in many times throughout history, the hamsa is believed by some, predominantly Muslims and Jews, to provide defense against the evil eye. It has been theorized that its origins lie in Ancient Egypt or Carthage and may have been associated with the Goddess Tanit.
"Some sigh": "The Moor's Last Sigh" is the fifth novel by Salman Rushdie, published in 1995. Moraes 'Moor' Zogoiby is a 'high-born crossbreed', the last surviving scion of a dynasty of Cochinise spice merchants and crime lords. He is also a compulsive storyteller and an exile.
