Although many have thought that the first b-side for "And Winter Came…", "Miraculum",
would be some kind of a dark sounding track, like "Tempus Vernum" from "A Day Without Rain",
or "Pax Deorum" from "The Memory of Trees" and "Cursum Perficio" from "Watermark"…
It appears to be a lovingly sounding ballad in Latin - a winter longing for spring.

Here is the original Latin lyrics:

O Miraculum

o Semel canebamus
Fabulam magnae diei,
lunae lucem in aqua,
litora, stellam, caelum.
Vela dare.
(o)Miraculum.
Vela dare. Vero.
Semel salum
sub Hesperus.
Ita vela dedimus.

In hodierna die
canimus albae nivis,
lunae lucem in gelu,
lacrima et pluvia.
Vela dare.
(o)Miraculum.
Vela dare. Vero.
Viatores
ecce caelum,
oceanus et terra!

Vela dare.
(o)Miraculum.
Vela dare. Vero.
Ite! Ite!
Mare, mare
sub vespertina stella

Vela dare.
(o)Miraculum.
Vela dare. Vero.
Et iam annus
vicesimus!
Tempus est somnium!

Vela dare.
(o)Miraculum.
Vela dare. Vero.
Et fortasse
crastinus deis
vela dabimus. Vela.
Vela dabimus. Vela.
Vela dabimus. Vela.


And here is the English translation:

A Wonderful Thing

Once, we were singing
the story of a great journey,
the moonlight on water,
the shores, a star, the sky.
To set sail,
a wonderful thing.
To sail away. It's true.
Once, the open sea
under the evening star.
And so we sailed away.

In this day
we sing of the white snow,
the moonlight on ice,
a tear and rain.
To set sail.
a wonderful thing.
To sail away. It's true.
Wayfarers
see the sky,
the ocean and the earth.

To set sail,
a wonderful thing.
To sail away . It's true.
Go! Go!
The sea, the sea
under the evening star.

To set sail,
a wonderful thing.
To sail away. It's true.
For already it is the twentieth year!
Oh, time is a dream!

To set sail,
a wonderful thing!
To sail away. It's true.
And perhaps
tomorrow
we will sail away. Sail away.


Love and Peace
