Cats----Memory
记忆中的歌声。
印象中的纽约总是在寒风中瑟瑟发抖,那年冬天也象多伦多的冬季一样的寒冷, 一直在不停地飘雪。记忆中的时代广场并没有像想象中的那样宽广,从第8大街一路走过来,那时还能手挽着手,彼此能感到对方的体温, 只是有了很久很久的感觉。
仿古的歌剧院,昏黄的宫灯映照着泛黄的罗马柱,穹形的大厅顶,档次较低的仿古西画, 暗淡忧闷的气氛就像彼时的心情。
倒是这一首《MEMORY》听得我浑身发抖,思想象被那只破堪的老猫一下给狠狠地挠了一抓,激灵灵打了个冷战,是啊,生活没完,就像那老猫的吟唱:
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in,,,
从剧院出来,心情也像漫天雪花一样轻扬飞舞起来,,,
这首名曲有两个版本,我倒是喜欢Sarah Brightman的声音,主要是因为她的声音就像我第一次在百老汇听得一样,纯属个人爱好。。。
Sarah Brightman版本
Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every streetlamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look
A new day has begun
