翻唱：Empty Chairs at Empty Tables 【Les Misérables 悲慘世界】

這是悲慘世界音樂劇中男聲獨唱的主要唱段之一。這首歌感情充沛，是次男主Marius在革命失敗後回到以前和朋友們聚會的咖啡館時演唱的，他哀歎朋友們在革命中犧牲逝去，在他們曾經指點江山的咖啡館中現在隻餘下了空的桌椅。

伴奏是用的Ramin Karimloo專輯裏的版本，但我最喜歡的演繹是十周年紀念演唱會中Michael Ball演唱的那一版。

 

Empty Chairs at Empty Tables

From Les Miserables

 

There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone

Here they talked of revolution
Here it was they lit the flame
Here they sang about tomorrow
And tomorrow never came

From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
And I can hear them now!

The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On this lonely barricade
At dawn

Oh my friends, my friends forgive me
That I live and you are gone
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on

Phantom faces at the window
Phantom shadows on the floor
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will meet no more

Oh my friends, my friends
Don't ask me what your sacrifice was for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will sing no more
