Quidam

某人

"as he was anonymous, without a name - at all

orphan quidam..."

“因为他是匿名的，根本没有名字--孤儿Quidam”

nowid, 'quidam'

Someone... Some human being... Looking up the word "quidam" in Latin language dictionaries you may find the above meanings. It is just a word. But if such a word becomes the name of a new coming rock band, what may it stand for... Should it be understood as the proof of the musicians’ modesty? Or, on the contrary, as the proof of some sort of vanity? Should it be understood as a teaser of the same kind as names like The Band or The Who? Maybe. But as far as I know the musicians of QUIDAM, I have noticed that their attitude lacks any vanity. At least with respect to the music they play. I would rather guess that they refer to the quidam - the main character of the poem of C.K. Norwid, perhaps the most intriguing of Polish romantic poets. That Quidam, according to Norwid himself, was just a person who was searching for goodness and truth, and tried to find his place on Earth.

某人..。某个人..。查找拉丁文词典中的“quidam”一词，您可能会发现上面的意思。这只是一个词。但是如果这个词成为一个新的摇滚乐队的名字，它代表什么呢？这应该被理解为音乐家谦虚的证明吗？或者，相反，作为某种虚荣心的证明？它应该被理解为与与the Band或the Who的名字相同的挑逗者吗？也许吧。但据我所知，QUIDAM的音乐家们，我发现他们的态度一点也不虚荣。至少在他们演奏的音乐方面。我更愿意猜测他们指的是quidam ——C.K. Norwid诗歌的主角，也许是最吸引人的波兰浪漫主义诗人。根据Norwid自己的说法，quidam只是一个在寻找美德和真理的人，并试图在地球上找到自己的位置。

As regards the major part of the QUIDAM's line-up such a search for their own musical way has been on since 1990. It originated from playing the cover versions of songs of some stars of hard rock and blues, which the guitarist Maciek Metier, the bassist Radek Scholl and the drummer Rafal Jermakow considered the right base to work out their own style. About the same time the key-man, Zbyszek Florek, joined them. And the band thought up the name which would remain until 1995. The name was Deep River - a significant one, wasn't it? It somehow suggested that the band aimed to write and play music which would be changeable - calm or wild as a river might be. The music which would require from the audience to listen to it carefully, to enjoy the depth of instrumental arrangements. Such was (and still is) their music indeed. Especially since the line up was reinforced by the flutist Ewa Smarzynska the band has been showing particular interest in the symphonic rock. Symphonic rock which is a very difficult test of musical imagination, sensitivity and songwriting abilities. This test is even more difficult for the simple reason that, as we' all know, symphonic rock appears to be the most controversial rock style. Some are enthusiastic about it while others cannot stand the sound of it.

至于QUIDAM阵容的主要部分，自1990年以来，就一直在寻找自己的音乐方式。它起源于演奏一些硬摇滚和蓝调明星歌曲的翻唱版本，吉他手Maciek Metier、贝斯手Radek Scholl和鼓手Rafal jermaow都认为这是他们创作自己风格的基础。大约在同一时间，键盘手Zbyszek Florek加入了他们的行列。直到1995年，乐队想出了这个队名，名字叫“深河”，是个很有意义的名字，不是吗？这意味着乐队的目标是创作和演奏变化不定的音乐——平静或狂野如深河一般。这是一种需要观众仔细聆听的音乐，欣赏器乐编排的深度。他们的音乐确实如此(而且现在仍然如此)。特别是自从长笛演奏家Ewa Smarzynska加强了队伍以来，乐队对交响乐摇滚表现出了特别的兴趣。交响摇滚乐是对音乐想象力，敏感性和歌曲创作能力的非常困难的考验。这个考验更加困难，原因很简单，我们都知道，交响乐摇滚似乎是最具争议的摇滚风格。有些人对此充满热情，而另一些人则无法忍受它的声音。

Thus, from the very beginning, QUIDAM has had to fight against prejudices. Have they succeeded? Perhaps the answer to the above question are the prizes they were granted on a number of rock contests in the previous years. Such as the prize for "warmth, talent and credibility" granted to the band's singer, Emila Derkowska by the jury of the Gitariada festival in 1993 (including Poland's famous rock stars Wojciech Waglewski and Leszek Biolik). Such as the Grand Prix of the said festival - granted to the band twice running (1993-94, in 1994 assessed as the prize for "originality and artistic merit"). But not only did the professionals regard QUIDAM's music. Wnat is even more important, their concerts have always been warmly welcomed by the audiences. Even in those days when .they had only played instrumental tracks (before Emilia joined in 1993).

因此，从一开始，Quidam就不得不与偏见作斗争。他们成功了吗？也许对上述问题的答案是他们在前几年的一些摇滚竞赛中获得的奖项。比如授予乐队歌手Emila Derkowska“热情、天赋和可靠”的美誉，来自1993年Gitariada音乐节评审团成员(包括波兰著名摇滚明星Wojciech Waglewski和Leszek Biolik)。如该音乐节的大奖——颁发给乐队两次(1993-94年，1994年评定为原创性和艺术价值奖)。但不仅仅是专业人士欣赏QUIDAM的音乐。更重要的是，他们的音乐会一直受到观众的热烈欢迎。即使在那些日子里，他们只演奏器乐曲目(在1993年Emilia加入之前)。

But the real assessment of QUIDAM's artistic value is just the present debut LP. A debut LP is always some kind of enigma or a blind date if you prefer. Obviously, both the musicians and any of us, the listeners, are taking part in this blind date. But with respect to the QUIDAM's LP, my "blind date" gave me a lot of fond memories.

对QUIDAM艺术价值的真正评估的只是目前的首张LP。如果你喜欢的话，处女作LP永远是某种谜，或者是一次盲目的约会。显然，音乐家和我们中的任何一个听众，都在参加这次盲目的约会。但是关于QUIDAM的首张LP，我的盲目的约会给了我很多美好的回忆。

Therefore, should anybody ask me: "Quidam? What is that band?" I would answer: "This band is Somebody to remember. Definitely."

因此，如果有人问我:“ Quidam？那支乐队是什么？”我会回答:“这个乐队是值得记住的人。肯定。”

#01] Sanktuarium / Sanctuary

神圣庇护所

there is a place

where loneliness dwells

it is my place

where i talk to my soul

from rain, from winds

it gives me shelter

from evil it shields me

有一个地方

孤独环绕

这是我的住所

在那里，我从雨中，

从风中与我的灵魂交谈

它给了我庇护

从邪恶中庇护我

the place to which i escape to stay alive

the place of my sanctuary

the place to which no-one

can find the door

这是我为了生存而逃到的地方

这是我的圣所

这是没有人能找到门进来的地方

a long rainy night

the sky weeps behind the window pane

along i stare again in silence

whisper

when you are gone

and where should i go now

when the dusk covered the road

me - fooled by fortune

once more...

漫长的雨夜

天空在窗玻璃后面哭泣

我又一次默默地凝视着

低语

当你离开的时候

我现在该去哪里

当暮色笼罩着道路

我被命运愚弄了

再一次

the place of my sanctuary

the place to which no-one

can find the door

这是我为了生存而逃到的地方

这是我的圣所

这是没有人能找到门进来的地方

i soar

i'm not afraid anymore

我笑得像个孩子

我像风一样吞没了整个空间

to a quiet shore

and when i get lost in the ocean fog

your hand leads me safely

to a quiet shore

即使我迷路了

迷失在海洋的迷雾中

你的手安全地引导我

到一片宁静的海岸

你的手安全地引导我

到一片宁静的海岸

and when fear wakes me up

i close the world in your eyes

i only need you

i'm not afraid

and when the night unleashes

its dreadful hounds of sleep

i need only your clam whisper

i'm not afraid anymore

当恐惧唤醒我

我闭上你眼中的世界

我只需要你

我不怕

当黑夜释放出可怕的睡眠猎犬

我只需要你平静的低语

我不再害怕了

in the ocean fog

your hand leads me safely

to a quiet shore

and when i get lost in the ocean fog

your hand leads me safely

to a quiet shore

#03] Bajkowy / Like A Fairytale

就像童话故事

i find my way into a dream

a moment there like god's miracle

a scent spilled

the charm of happiness floats in the sunshine

the ripple of brooks

the singing of birds soars into the sky

a young lad on a steed

dashes through the hills

我找到了进入梦的路

那一刻就像上帝的奇迹

一股香味溢出

幸福的魅力在阳光中飘荡

小溪的波纹

鸟儿的歌声在天空中翱翔

骑着马的年轻小伙子

在山间飞奔

she is gone

he will not find this stranger anywhere

她走了

他到哪儿也找不到这个陌生人了

he fell in love

while dancing with her in the mist of senses

he found the heat inside

the flame found the way to the girl's heart

like two gods

they opened their souls

and they drifted towards

their worlds hungry for each other

他恋爱了

在感官的迷雾中与她共舞

他发现内心的火热

火焰找到了通往女孩心中的路

就像两个神

他们打开了他们的灵魂

他们漂向

他们的世界渴望彼此

the flame grew bigger it burned her

and the sun was setting...

火焰越来越大，它燃烧着她

太阳落山了……

#07] Warkocze / Plaits

辫子

while i was weaving plaits into the winter days

the blue of the ribbons

laughed to you like two sisters

and the gloves

that i used to lose all the time

so you could search them

they always had

ten nuts hidden for you

in their colourful fingers

当我在冬日里编辫子的时候

蓝色的丝带

像两个姐妹一样向你笑

我以前经常丢的手套

所以你可以寻找它们

它们总是为你藏着十个坚果

在它们五颜六色的手指里

and in the footprints on the road

which i left while pushing through the snow

i threw summer fruits

to make you chase me

在路上的脚印上

那是我在雪地上推搡的时候留下的

我扔了夏天的水果

去让你追我

now i do note have plaits

ribbons flew away with the wind

i do not wear gloves

and i do not pick nuts

any more

现在我注意到辫子

丝带随风飘散了

我不戴手套

我不摘坚果

不再

there are no footprints left

as it seldom snows here

i keep the fruits for a rainy day

but you still follow me running

那儿已经没有脚印了

因为这里很少下雪了

我留着水果以备不时之需

但你还是跟着我跑

where did you learn to love so much - just me?

你从哪里学会这么爱我的？

i do not have much, little do i want

a secret voice leads me

i do not know where - where i do not know

一个秘密的声音引导着我

我不知道在哪里，我不知道在哪里

on my hand a whisper has fallen asleep

nestled in the night i float away

do not ask me where - i will not tell you

一声低语在我的手上睡着了

依偎在黑夜里，我飘走了

不要问我在哪儿——我不会告诉你的

to stop the time just one time

just one time to dance among the trees

and close the moment with just one word

i'm drawing my magic circle

it will embrace you - you will feel it

trust me this is the answer

时间停止吧，就一次

就一次在树林中跳舞

用一个词来结束这一刻

i do not know where - where i do not know

我拥有的不多，想要的很少

一个秘密的声音引导着我

我不知道在哪里，我不知道在哪里

in the flood of confessions you fade again

i'm silent i'm on fire i'm silent i'm on fire

when you stand in the middle of a busy day

like a blind like a shadow of colour

当你创造出新的文字大军时

在忏悔的洪流中，你再次消失

我沉默着我燃烧着我沉默着我燃烧着

当您站在忙碌的一天中

像个瞎子，像一个彩色的影子

i'm silent i'm on fire i'm silent i'm on fire

我沉默着我燃烧着我沉默着我燃烧着

you will be able to stop the time

to dance among the trees just once

just once

trust me and you will feel my magic

embrace you with a hand of beautiful words

你将能够停止时间

在树林中跳舞，就一次

就一次

相信我，你会感受到我的魔力

用一串美丽的话语拥抱你
