Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again
【祈盼你此刻重现】翻唱：叶子

这是一首很悲伤的歌。女儿在父亲的墓前，希望再能见父亲一面。

You were once my one companion

你曾是我的同伴
You were all that mattered

你曾是我的一切
You were once a friend and father                

 你曾是位良师益友
Then my world was shattered                      

 我的世界随你沦陷

Wishing you were somehow here again          

  祈盼你此刻重现
Wishing you were somehow near                    

祈盼你近在眼前
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed         

 有时仿佛梦境一场
Somehow you would be here                        

  有时仿佛就在身边



Wishing I could hear your voice again      

 祈盼再次听到你的声音
Knowing that I never would                     

  即使明知我在痴心妄想
Dreaming of you won't help me to do    

 梦中的你无法助我达成
All that you dreamed I could                  

 你对我所有的期望梦想



Passing bells and sculpted angels      

  消逝的钟声，雕刻的天使
Cold and monumental                         

  冰冷的存在，无尽的时光
Seem for you the wrong companions  

   他们似乎不该是你的同伴
You were warm and gentle               

  曾经的你是那样温暖慈祥



Too many years fighting back tears               

 时间可以击退眼泪
Why can't the past just die?                           

为何往事无法消逝



Wishing you were somehow here again        

  祈盼你 此刻重现
Knowing we must say goodbye                  

    明知我们 即将告别
Try to forgive, teach me to live              

  你试图原谅 你教我生活
Give me the strength to try                     

 你给予了我 尝试的勇气
No more memories, no more silent tears   

 多想挥别含泪的回忆
No more gazing across the wasted years  

  多想遗忘寂寥的岁月
Help me say goodbye                                           

   愿助我忘却

重逢 

 

曾经，你我携手同行

曾经，世界因你而温暖

曾经，你是良师益友

直到，一切都失去了色彩 

 

望穿秋水，盼你重握我手

泪眼朦胧，恍惚就在身旁

多少次凄然梦回，长夜孤灯

猛回眸，你却鲜活如昨 

 

只盼重聆芳音

奈生死茫茫无计

纵有梦中相伴

徒留空枕泪痕 

 

渐起寒意里，钟声漠漠

风起秋霜间，天使无声

你温情若许

岂不形单影只？ 

 

岁岁年年

泪流心间

撒手而去

岂不留恋？ 

 

盼重握你手

只为道声珍重

宽恕吾错

助我重生 

 

多想挥别含泪的回忆

多想遗忘寂寥的岁月

愿助我忘却

请给我新生

phantom of opera

Synopsis

Prologue

On the stage of the fictional Opera Populaire (based on the Palais Garnier) in 1905,an auction of old theatre props is underway. Lot 665, purchased by the elderly Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny, is a music box in the shape of a monkey; he eyes it sadly, noting that its details appear "exactly as she said". Lot 666 is a shattered chandelier that, the auctioneer explains, has a connection to "the strange affair of the Phantom of the Opera". As the chandelier is uncovered, sparks burst from it and the lamps flicker to life. ("Overture") The fixture slowly ascends from the stage, up and out over the audience, until it finally comes to rest in its original position at the peak of the ceiling. During the chandelier's ascent, the years roll back and the Opéra returns to its 1880s grandeur.

Act I

It is now 1881.As Carlotta, the Opéra's resident soprano prima donna, rehearses for that evening's performance, a backdrop collapses without warning. "The Phantom! He's here!" the anxious cast members whisper. The Opera's new owners, Firmin and André, try to downplay the incident, but Carlotta refuses to continue and storms offstage. Madame Giry, the Opéra's ballet mistress, tells Firmin and André that Christine Daaé, a Swedish chorus girl and orphaned daughter of a prominent violinist, has been "well taught" and could sing Carlotta's role. With cancellation of the performance their only alternative, the owners reluctantly audition Christine, and to their surprise she is equal to the challenge. ("Think of Me")

Backstage after her triumphant début, Christine confesses to her best friend Meg (Madame Giry's daughter) that she knows her mysterious teacher only as an invisible "Angel of Music" ("Angel of Music"). The Opera's new patron, Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny, finds Christine, his old childhood playmate, in her dressing room. ("Little Lotte") Christine reminisces with Raoul about the "Angel of Music" stories that her late father used to tell them and confides that the Angel has visited her and taught her to sing. Raoul laughs at her "fantasies" and invites her to dinner. He exits and a jealous Phantom appears in Christine's mirror in the guise of The Angel of Music ("The Mirror/Angel of Music (Reprise)"). Christine begs him to reveal himself and The Phantom obliges, then guides her into a ghostly underground realm ("The Phantom of the Opera"). They cross a subterranean lake to his secret lair beneath the opéra house. The Phantom explains that he has chosen Christine to sing his music and enchants her with his own sublime voice ("The Music of the Night"). Christine sees a mannequin resembling herself in a wedding dress, and when the mannequin suddenly moves, she faints. The Phantom picks her up and places her gently on a bed.

As the Phantom composes music at his organ, Christine awakens to the sound of the monkey music box ("I Remember…"). She slips behind the Phantom, lifts his mask, and beholds his real face. The Phantom rails at her curiosity, then ruefully expresses his longing to look normal—and to be loved by her. ("Stranger Than You Dreamt It") Feeling bad, Christine hands the mask back to the Phantom and he puts it on. He then takes Christine back to the opéra house.

Meanwhile, inside the opéra house, Joseph Buquet, the Opéra's chief stagehand—who, like Madame Giry, inexplicably knows much about the Phantom—regales everyone with tales of the "Opéra Ghost" and his terrible Punjab lasso ("Magical Lasso"). Madame Giry warns Buquet to exercise restraint. In the managers' office, Madame Giry delivers a note from the Phantom: he demands that Christine replace Carlotta in the new opera, Il Muto, or there will be a terrible disaster "beyond imagination." ("Notes…") Firmin and André assure the enraged Carlotta that she will remain the star, ("Prima Donna") but during her performance, disaster strikes. ("Poor Fool, He Makes Me Laugh") The Phantom reduces Carlotta's voice to a frog-like croak. A ballet interlude begins, to keep the audience entertained—but a series of menacing shadows can be seen on the backdrop. Suddenly the corpse of Buquet, hanging from the Punjab lasso, drops from the rafters. Firmin and André plead for calm — "It was just an accident...simply an accident!" — as the Phantom's diabolical laughter is heard.

n the ensuing mêlée, Christine escapes with Raoul to the roof, where she tells him about her subterranean rendezvous with the Phantom. Raoul is skeptical ("Why Have You Brought Me Here?/Raoul, I've Been There"), but swears to love and to protect her always. ("All I Ask of You") The Phantom, who has overheard their conversation, is heartbroken. He angrily vows revenge against Raoul ("All I Ask of You (Reprise)"), and the Opéra's mighty chandelier crashes to the stage as the curtain falls.

Act II

Six months later, in the midst of the gala masquerade ball, the Phantom, costumed as the Red Death, makes his first appearance since the chandelier disaster. ("Masquerade/Why So Silent?") He announces to the stunned guests that he has written an opera entitled Don Juan Triumphant. He demands that it be produced immediately, with Christine (who is now engaged to Raoul) in the lead role, and warns of dire consequences if it is not. He seizes Christine's engagement ring and vanishes in a flash of fire and smoke. Raoul demands that Madame Giry tell him about the Phantom. She reluctantly replies that he is a brilliant musician and magician born with a terrifyingly deformed face, who escaped from captivity in a traveling freak show and disappeared.

During rehearsals, Raoul hatches a plan to use Don Juan Triumphant as a trap to capture the Phantom, knowing the Phantom will be sure to attend its première. ("Notes/Twisted Every Way") Christine, torn between her love for Raoul and her gratitude for the Phantom's teaching, visits her father's grave, longing for his guidance. ("Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again") The Phantom appears, again under the guise of the Angel of Music. ("Wandering Child") Christine nearly falls under his spell, but Raoul arrives to rescue her. The Phantom taunts Raoul, launching fiery missiles at him, ("Bravo Monsieur") until Christine begs Raoul to leave with her. Furious, the Phantom sets fire to the cemetery.

Don Juan Triumphant opens with Christine and Ubaldo Piangi, the Opéra's principal tenor, singing the lead roles. ("Don Juan") During their duet, Christine suddenly realizes that she is singing not with Piangi, but with the Phantom himself. ("The Point of No Return") He expresses his love for her and gives her his ring, but Christine rips off his mask, exposing his deformed face to the shocked audience. As Piangi is found strangled to death backstage, the Phantom seizes Christine and flees the theatre. An angry mob led by Meg searches the theatre for the Phantom, while Madame Giry tells Raoul how to find the Phantom's subterranean lair, and warns him to beware his Punjab lasso.

In the lair Christine is forced to don the doll's wedding dress. ("Down Once More/Track Down This Murderer") Raoul finds the lair, but the Phantom captures him with his lasso. He tells Christine that he will free Raoul if she agrees to stay with him forever; if she refuses, Raoul will die. ("Final Lair") Christine tells the Phantom that it is his soul that is deformed, not his face, and kisses him, comforting him. The Phantom, having experienced kindness and compassion for the first time, sets them both free. Christine returns the Phantom's ring to him, and he tells her he loves her. She cries, forces herself to turn away, and exits with Raoul. The Phantom, weeping, huddles on his throne and covers himself with his cape. The mob storms the lair and Meg pulls away the cape—but the Phantom has vanished; only his mask remains.
