"The Islander"

He aquí una historia digna de ser escuchada... "The Islander " de Nightwish es una obra exquisita de nostalgia, melancolía, tristeza y secreto heroísmo. Si tienen la oportunidad, que surja entonces el interés de quienes no la conocen, de escucharla, entenderla... Y un comentario para mí no está de más, claro:P
Además, esta canción ha adquirido un valor mucho más sentimental, pues mi hermano Adrián se la aprendió en guitarra por mi insistencia -no es muy fanático de Nightwish-, y la tocó en mi último y reciente cumpleaños.
He aquí uno de mis portales preferidos:

An old man by a seashore
At the end of day
Gazes the horizon
With seawinds in his face

Tempest-tossed island
Seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name

Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar

This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago

The albatross is flying
Making him daydream
The time before he became
One of the world's unseen

Princess in the tower
Children in the fields
Life gave him it all:
An island of the universe

Now his love's a memory
A ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time
Saying farewell to the world

Anchor to the water
Seabed far below
Grass still in his feet
And a smile beneath his brow
