【声生不息】微雨 -《Memory》一音乐剧《Cats》的主题曲 1981年

我一直喜欢民美歌曲，也喜欢音乐剧歌剧。 可是2017年以后我就很少唱这一类歌曲了，主要原因之一是这一类歌曲很少有新歌，而流行歌曲则是铺天盖地得多，很多歌曲又都是非常的好听，哈哈哈。

这首《Memory》是音乐剧《Cats》的主题曲，是由作曲家安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯根据T·S·艾略特的诗集《老负鼠的猫经》及其他诗歌所编写的一部音乐剧。它是历史上最成功的音乐剧之一，自1981年在伦敦首演以来，已被翻译成二十多种语言在世界各地演出。1982年第一次在纽约上演。我第一次录这首歌是2014年用Laptop和$10话筒录的，2016年用电脑重录了一版，翻箱倒柜找出这首歌，编辑了这个视频参加正场活动。

 

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
