【中古民谣】The Mediæval Bæbes - Star of the Sea
纯洁、欢快、祥和、美丽，独特的中世纪演唱风格和迷人的传统乐器搭配，带来让人丧失时空感的轻飘飘错觉。
这张专辑，被称为是Mediaeval Baebes（中世纪宝贝）历年来最复杂多样、层次丰富的创作。在十八首歌曲中，采用叠音或原音的手法，制造出田园或是镜屋中的迷离幻境，时而演唱中古英语、古老拉丁文或是盖尔族语，让人穿梭在那古老而充满不可思议神秘事物的年代里。
《Star of the Sea》
Of on that is so fair and bright,
Velud maris stella,
Brighter than the dayes light,
Parens et puella:
Ic crye to thee – thou se to me-
Levedy, preye thy sone for me,
Tam pia,
That ic mote come to thee,
Maria.
Levedy, flowr of alle thing,
Rosa sine spina,
Thu bere Jesu, Hevene King,
Gratia divina.
Of alle thu berst the pris,
Levedy, Quene of Paradis
Electa;
Maide milde, moder es
Effecta.
All this world was forlore
Eva peccatrice,
Till our Lord was ibore
De te genitrice.
With ‘Ave’ it went away,
Thuster night, and cometh the day
Salutis.
The welle springeth ut of thee
Virtutis.
Of care, conseil though ert best,
Felix fecundata;
Of alle wery thou ert rest.
Mater honorata.
Besek him with milde mod,
That for ous alle sad his blod
In cruce,
That we moten comen till him
In luce.
