这是悲惨世界音乐剧里令人伤感的一个唱段。贫民窟女孩Eponine喜欢上了富家青年Marius而不敢表明,但Marius对Cosette一见钟情,请Eponine帮他找到Cosette的住所去约会,后来还要Eponine帮他传递信件。Eponine旁观两人的恋情,一个人孤独地行走在巴黎的夜色中演唱了这个唱段,讲述她无望的暗恋--她想像她爱的人于夜晚在身旁相拥,但白天来临一切皆是虚幻。
这首歌我主要听的是两个版本:悲惨世界十周年纪念演唱会Lea Salonga的版本,和二十五周年纪念演唱会Samantha Barks的版本。个人更喜欢Lea Salonga的版本。
去年唱此歌时唱到后半部份气息就不足了,这是今年初唱的,气息强了,有些进步。
On My Own
(From "Les Misérables")
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him 'til morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers
I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known
I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own
