【聲生不息】微雨 -《Memory》一音樂劇《Cats》的主題曲 1981年

我一直喜歡民美歌曲，也喜歡音樂劇歌劇。 可是2017年以後我就很少唱這一類歌曲了，主要原因之一是這一類歌曲很少有新歌，而流行歌曲則是鋪天蓋地得多，很多歌曲又都是非常的好聽，哈哈哈。

這首《Memory》是音樂劇《Cats》的主題曲，是由作曲家安德魯·勞埃德·韋伯根據T·S·艾略特的詩集《老負鼠的貓經》及其他詩歌所編寫的一部音樂劇。它是曆史上最成功的音樂劇之一，自1981年在倫敦首演以來，已被翻譯成二十多種語言在世界各地演出。1982年第一次在紐約上演。我第一次錄這首歌是2014年用Laptop和$10話筒錄的，2016年用電腦重錄了一版，翻箱倒櫃找出這首歌，編輯了這個視頻參加正場活動。

 

Memory

Songwriters: Andrew Lloyd Webber / T. S. Eliot / Trevor Nunn

 

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 street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn'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
A street lamp 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
