第一篇:音乐剧《猫:Memory歌词》
memoryCats elaine paige-memory 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 life 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 a 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 the street lamp dies another night is over another day is dawning touch me it's so easy to leave me all alone with my memory of my days in the sun if you touch me you'll understand what happiness is look a new day has begun...

2.洁里珂歌唱给洁里珂猫
JELLICLE SONGS FOR JELLICLE CATS
演唱:全体
舞蹈:全体
剧情:
午夜的破烂场,猫儿轻巧而 缓慢地一只接一只从隐蔽的 地方钻出来。
今夜是一个特殊的夜晚,因 为一年里,只有今夜,猫儿 们聚集在破烂场里,庆祝只 属于洁里珂的荣耀。
在这一场,每一只猫都有机会出场亮像。他们的歌声讲述了洁里珂猫的 轻巧体态和独特性情,而他们的舞蹈节奏明快,动作流畅,与欢快的歌 声相合。在这一场里,应该是所有的演员一起上场的,就连后面才要介 绍的格瑞泽、老德特等有特色的猫,在这一场也穿着普通猫的戏装上场。
歌词:
Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark? Dare you look at a king? Would you sit on his throne? Can you say of your bite that it's worse than your bark? Are you cock of the wall when you're walking alone?
Because Jellicles are and Jellicles do Jellicles do and Jellicles would Jellicles would and Jellicles can Jellicles can and Jellicles do
When you fall on your head, do you land on your feet? Are you tense when you sense there's a storm in the air? Can you find your way blind when you're lost in the street? Do you know how to go to the Heaviside Layer?
Because Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicles do and Jellicles can Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicles do and Jellicles can Jellicles can and Jellicles do
Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant? Familiar with candle, with book and with bell? Were you Whittington's friend? The Pied Piper's assistant? Have you been an alumnus of heaven and hell?
Are you mean like a minx? Are you lean like a lynx? Are you keen to be seen when you're smelling a rat? Were you there when the pharaohs commissioned the Sphinx? If you were, and you are, you're a Jellicle cat
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
We can dive through the air like a flying trapeze We can turn double somersaults, bounce on a tire We can run up the wall, we can swing through the trees We can balance on bars, we can walk on a wire
Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Can you sing at the same time in more than one key Duets by Rossini and waltzes by Strauss And can you(as cats do)begin with a C That always triumphantly brings down the house?
Jellicle cats are queen of the nights Singing at astronomical heights Handling pieces from the messiah Hallelujah, angelical choir
The mystical divinity of unashamed felinity Round the cathedral rang “Vivat!” Life to the everlasting cat!Feline, fearless, faithful and true To others who do-what
Jellicles do and Jellicles can Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicle cats sing Jellicle chants Jellicles old and Jellicles new Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Practical cats, dramatical cats Pragmatical cats, fanatical cats Oratorical cats, delphioracle cats Skeptical cats, dispeptical cats Romantical cats, pedantical cats Critical cats, parasitical cats Allegorical cats, metaphorical cats Statistical cats and mystical cats Political cats, hypocritical cats Clerical cats, hysterical cats Cynical cats, rabbinical cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
3.猫的命名
THE NAMING OF CATS
演唱:全体
舞蹈:全体
剧情:
因为陌生人(观众)出现在猫儿们的天地,舞蹈后的猫儿们对陌生者心存怀疑,但是很 快他们就接纳了陌生者的出现,并且为他们 解释猫的命名。
所有的猫都有三个名字,第一个名 字是普通名字,是给家人在平日里 叫的;第二个名字是有尊严的名字,是要让每一只猫觉得骄傲的独特 名字,而且每只猫的名字都不相同。而第三个名字,是秘密的名字,猫儿是永远不会告诉他类动物的。如果你看到一只猫在下午的太阳里 暝想,那么有可能,他就是在思索 他的神秘名字。
这一首歌和别的歌不同,它是由所 有的猫念诗一样念出来的。在迷离 的伴奏音乐下,猫的言语快速而有 韵律。
歌词: Solo: There's a man over there with a look of surprise As much as to say well now, how about that?
Munkustrap: Do I actually see with my own very eyes A man who's not heard of a Jellicle cat? What's a Jellicle cat?
All: What's a Jellicle cat?
All: The naming of cats is a difficult matter, It isn't just one of your holiday games You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter When I tell you a cat must have three different names
First of all, there's the name that the family use daily Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James, Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey--All of them sensible, everyday names
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter Some for the gentlemen, some for the
4.洁里珂舞会的邀请
THE INVITATION TO THE JELLICLE BALL
演唱:迷斯特,蒙克斯
舞蹈:迷斯特,维多利亚
剧情:
洁里珂猫对同类发出的邀请,由迷斯特略带 童音的动情呼唤开场。然后,蒙克斯向其他 的猫,尤其是还没有参加过洁里珂舞会的小 猫解释了舞会的意义:在今晚月亮最圆的安 静时刻,猫群的首领老德特将会出现,只有 他有权利选出一只能够获得重生的猫。接下来,纯白的幼猫维多利亚有一段独舞,象徵著舞会的正式开始。
这一场的音乐安静甜美,维多 利亚的独舞更是灵活美妙,技 术高超。再有的一点就是,这 一场标志着《猫》的起始部份 的结束。许多特殊的猫也从场 上下去,直到介绍到他们时才 上来。
歌词:
Mistoffelees: Jellicle cats come out tonight Jellicle cats come one come all The Jellicle moon is shining bright Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
Jellicle cats come out tonight Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
All: Jellicle cats come out tonight Jellicle cats come one come all The Jellicle moon is shining bright Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
Jellicle cats come out tonight Jellicle cats come one come all The Jellicle moon is shining bright Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
Munkustrap: Jellicle cats meet once a year At the Jellicle Ball where we all rejoice And the Jellicle Leader will soon appear And make what is known as the Jellicle Choice When Old Deuteronomy just before dawn Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife Announces the cat who can now be reborn And come back to a different Jellicle Life For waiting up there is the Heaviside Layer With wonders one Jellicle only will see Jellicles ask because Jellices dare Who will it be?
5.老甘比猫
THE OLD GUMBIE CAT
演唱:蒙克斯,邦姆博,蒂米特,詹丽
舞蹈:蒙克斯,詹妮,詹丽,邦姆博,蒂米特
剧情:
所有的猫儿都想被他们的首领 选中,从而获得重生。这一首 歌,是蒙克斯的推荐
老甘比猫其实是詹妮的别称,她被称 为甘比猫是因为“她整天坐着坐着坐 着坐着,这就是一只甘比猫”。这大 约也是甘比(又一个在字典上查不到 的词)的含义。
但是老甘比猫并不是总这样懒的。白天里她什么也不干,但是到了晚上,她就会充满活力,在房子里四下走动。她教导“没有教养”的老鼠们 音乐和编织,希望这能使他们有文化一点。她也很为没有事做的蟑螂们 担心,所以她总要让他们忙得透不过气来,甚至调教出一队蟑螂的军事 演习来。詹妮也很关系小猫的生活,好像是猫群的妈妈一样。大家都很 喜欢她,高兴地为她伴舞。
这一首歌有好几个段落,前一段由蒙克斯演唱,十分悠扬。(这首歌的 头两句,如果你仔细听,会觉得和香港的BEYOND的一首歌“大地 ”很像。尤其“大地”里的“眼前不是我熟悉的双眼,陌生的感觉一点 点”一句--记忆中的歌词,如哪位看官知道确切歌词,请告诉我。)接下来詹妮在夜晚工作的一段,音乐转成明快的爵士乐,由三个女高音 :詹丽,邦姆博和蒂米特演唱。最后是一段由大家都上场的爵士舞。
歌词:
Munkustrap: I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots Her coat is of the tabby kind with tiger stripes and leopard spots All day she sits beneath the stairs or on the steps or on the mat She sits and sits and sits and sits and that's what makes a Gumbie Cat That's what makes a Gumbie Cat
Jellylorum, Bombalurina, Demeter: But When the day's hustle and bustle is done Then the Gumbie Cat's work is but hardly begun And when all the family's in bed and asleep She tucks up her skirts to the basement to creep She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice Their behavior's not good and their manners not nice And when she has got them lined up on the matting She teaches them music, crocheting and tatting
Munkustrap: I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots The curtain cord she likes to wind and tie it into sailor knots She sits upon the windowsill, or anything that's smooth and flat She sits and sits and sits and sits and that's what makes a Gumbie Cat That's what makes a Gumbie Cat
Jellylorum, Bombalurina, Demeter: But When the day's hustle and bustle is done Then the Gumbie Cat's work is but hardly begun She thinks that the cockroaches need employment To protect them from idle and wanton destroyment
So she's formed from that lot of disorderly louts A troop of well disciplined helpful boy scouts With a purpose in life and a good deed to do And she's even created a Beetles Tattoo!
All: For she's a jolly good fellow!
Jennyanydots: Thank you my dears
6.蓝汤姆塔阁
THE RUM TUM TUGGER
演唱:塔阁
舞蹈:塔阁
剧情:
老甘比猫詹妮的音乐刚到尾声,就被 下一只猫,塔阁的入场打断了。塔阁 被称为好奇的猫。但是也许他更应该 被叫做受宠的猫。他的人类家庭对他 百依百顺,养成了他骄傲自大,喜欢 惹人注意,又十分挑剔的习惯。在他 的歌里,他告诉大家他只喜欢没有的 东西,到了手里就又不喜欢了:如果 你给他家鼠,他只想要田鼠;可要是 你给他田鼠,他又觉得家鼠的味道好。他出了门就想回去,回到屋里又想 出去。他要求别人给他想要的东西,可是人要是真的给了他,他又觉得还 是自己去找到得好。
塔阁是只相貌威风的公猫,他是唯一 颈边有鬃毛的猫,看上去好像雄狮一 样出众。他是猫中摇滚歌星般的人物,十分受母猫们的喜爱,尤其是一群 小猫更喜欢围着他打转,为他的每句 歌词倾倒。
塔阁的歌,也如他的人一样,是快速的摇滚乐。塔阁的演员大多有轻微 的鼻音,因此听起来好听而且有一点讨人喜欢的蛮横霸道的神气。他的 舞蹈不多,一说是因为塔阁的鬃毛太重。他只是在所有人视线的中心任 意游走,挑逗追逐着他小母猫们。
歌词:
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
If you offer me pheasant I'd rather have grouse If you put me in a house I would much prefer a flat If you put me in a flat then I'd rather have a house If you set me on a mouse then I'd only want a rat If you set me on a rat then I'd rather chase a mouse
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat And there isn't any need for me to shout it For he will do as he do do And there's no doing anything about it
The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore
When you let me in, then I want to go out I'm always on the wrong side of every door As soon as I'm at home, then I'd like to get about I like to lie in the bureau drawer And I make such a fuss if I can't get out
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
And there isn't any need for you to doubt it For he will do as he do do And there's no doing anything about it
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast
My disobliging ways are a matter of habit If you offer me fish then I always want a feast When there isn't any fish then I won't eat rabbit If you offer me cream then I sniff and sneer But I only like what I find for myself So you'll catch me in it right up to my ears If you put it away on the larder shelf
The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing The Rum Tum Tugger
Doesn't care for a cuddle But I'll leap in your lap in the middle of your sewing For there's nothing I enjoy like a horrible muddle
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat And there isn't any need for me to spout it
For he will do as he do do
And there's no doing anything abou-----t it!
7.格瑞泽贝拉:华美的猫
GRIZABELLA: THE GLAMOUR CAT
演唱:格瑞泽,蒂米特,邦姆博
MIDI音乐
剧情:
塔阁的歌结束时,格瑞泽首次上场了。她的衣裳褴褛,神色疲惫。塔阁 对她威胁地直立起鬃毛,傲然地擦着她的身边下场。
几只小猫可怜格瑞泽的悲惨样子,想 凑过去安慰她,却被年纪大的猫们拉 开了。
蒂米特走上前,仿佛要抚摸 格瑞泽,可是在最后一刹那 失去了勇气,悲伤地逃开了。格瑞泽哀怨地歌声责备挡 在她面前的蒙克斯。
蒂米特和邦姆博在一旁唱出了她的身份:原来她就是当年骄傲美丽的格 瑞泽贝拉,华美的猫。她在年轻的时候就离开了猫群去看外面的世界,成为猫儿们不可饶恕的叛徒。现在她历尽艰辛,狼狈地回来时,猫儿们 仍然不肯原谅她。格瑞泽只好又哀伤地下场了。
歌词:
Grizabella: Remark the cat who hesitates towards you In the light of the door which opens on her like a grin You see the border of her coat is torn and stained with sand And you see the corner of her eye twist like a crooked pin
Demeter: She haunted many a low resort near the grimy road of Tottenham Court She flitted about the no man's land From “The Rising Sun” to “The Friend at Hand” And the postman sighed as he scratched his head “You'd really had thought she ought to be dead” And who would ever suppose that that was Grizabella the Glamour Cat
Bombalurina: Grizabella the Glamour Cat, Grizabella the Glamour Cat
8.巴斯特琼斯,城里的猫
BUSTOPHER JONES: THE CAT ABOUT TOWN
演唱:詹妮,巴斯特
剧情:
格瑞泽下场之后,场上的 气氛又欢快起来。詹妮开 始介绍她的好朋友,神气 的胖猫巴斯特。巴斯特是 所有猫群的骄傲,因为他 是猫里的绅士,不光有身 份,而且还吃遍了英国的 酒店和饭馆。
巴斯特坐下来给小猫们唱了一 段歌曲,又送给了詹妮一朵鲜 艳的红花。
这一场有一点过渡的性质,尤其为了冲淡格瑞泽上场时带来的沉重,歌 曲都十分轻松,但不见得会像其他的歌那样给人留下深刻印像。也基本 上没有舞蹈。巴斯特身穿黑白相间的礼服,用一只小汤匙作拐杖。后来 他用汤匙作高尔夫球棒打球,十分可爱。
歌词:
JennyAnyDots, Bombalurina, Jellylorum: Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones In fact, he's remarkably fat He doesn't haunt pubs, he has eight or nine clubs For he's the St.James's Street Cat He's the cat we all greet as he walks down the street In his coat of fastidious black No common-place mousers have such well cut trousers Or such an impeccable back In the whole of St.James's the smartest of names is The name of this brummel of cats And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to By Bustopher Jones in white spats
In the whole of St.James's the smartest of names is The name of this brummel of cats And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to By Bustopher Jones in white spats
Bustopher Jones: My visits are occasional to the Senior Educational And it is against the rules For any one cat to belong both to that And the Joint Superior Schools
For a similar reason when game is in season I'm found not at Fox's but Blimp's I am frequently seen at the gay Stage and Screen Which is famous for winkles and shrimps
In the season of venison I give my Benison To the Pothunter's succulent bones And just before noon's not a moment too soon To drop in for a drink at the Drones
When I'm seen in a hurry there's probably curry At the Siamese or at the Glutton When I look full of gloom then I've lunched at the Tomb On cabbage, rice pudding and mutton
Jellylorum: In the whole of St.James's is the smartest of names Is the name of this brummel of cats And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to By Bustopher Jones in white, Bustopher Jones in white Bustopher Jones in white spats
So much in this way passes Bustopher's day At one club or another he's found It can be no surprise that under our eyes He has grown unmistakably round
He's a twenty-five pounder or I am a bounder
And he's putting on weight everyday
But I'm so well preserved because I've observed All my life a routine, and I'd say I am still in the prime, I shall last out my time That's the word from the stoutest of cats
It must and it shall be spring in Pall Mall While Bustopher Jones wears white, Bustopher Jones wears white Bustopher Jones wears white spats
9.蒙哥杰瑞和丽普提泽
MUNGOJERRIE AND RUMPELTEAZER
演唱:迷斯特,蒙哥(百老汇版);蒙哥,丽普(录象带版)
舞蹈:蒙哥,丽普
剧情:
突然一声怪响,随之传来警号和红闪光灯。恶猫麦克的脸出现在舞台一 角,所有的猫在蒙克斯的保护下逃离的舞台,蒙克斯在四下里搜索一遍 之后也下场了。
两声咯咯的笑声,把蒙哥和丽普这两只小偷儿带到来场上。
蒙哥和丽普身上背着小包袱,大约是刚刚作案归来。在歌里他们告诉观 众,他们喜欢和人类开玩笑,不是乱拉抽屉,就是偷走主人宴客时客人 的珠宝。可是人们也拿他们没办法,他们甚至分不清究竟是哪一只猫做 的坏事,因为蒙哥和丽普长得一模一样。
蒙哥和丽普他们的动作灵敏,神态顽皮,大约还是刚刚成年的小猫。蒙 哥是个滑稽的男孩子,丽普则是个机灵的女孩。他们的歌舞节奏都很快,很讨人喜爱。在他们的歌结束的时候,其他的猫一起冲上舞台,把他 们围住不让他们逃走。从此蒙歌和丽普就一直留在台上。猫群显然并不 因为他们是小偷就排挤他们。
还有一点就是,他们的歌常常是由不同的人演唱。据说只有录象带版的 《猫》里,蒙哥和丽普的歌才是有蒙哥和丽普本人演唱,其他的时候,不是蒙克斯或迷斯特代唱,就是由蒙哥一个人唱两个人的歌。这也许和 他们要求高的舞蹈有关,在舞台上跳动作幅度大的舞蹈,很难一起发出 嘹亮的歌声。
歌词: Demeter: Macavity!
Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer/Mistoffelees: Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were a notorious couple of cats As knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians Tight-rope walkers and acrobats They/We had an extensive reputation, they/we made their home in Victoria Grove That was merely their/our center of operation for they/we were incurably given to rove
If the area window was found ajar and the basement looked like a field of war If a tile or two came loose on the roof which presently ceased to be waterproof If the drawers were pulled out from the bedroom chest And you couldn't find one of your winter vests Or after supper one of the girls suddenly missed her Woolworth pearls
Then the family would say, “It's that horrible cat!” It was Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer And most of the time they left it at that
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had an unusual gift of the gab They were highly efficient cat burglars as well and remarkably smart at a smash and grab They made their home in Victoria Grove, they had no regular occupation They were plausible fellows who liked to engage a friendly policeman in conversation
When the family assembled for Sunday dinner Their minds made up that they wouldn't get thinner on Argentine joint, potatoes and greens Then the cook would appear from behind the scenes And say in a voice that was broken with sorrow “I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow The joint has gone from the oven like that!
And the family would say, ”It's that horrible cat!It was Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer!“ And most of the time they left it at that
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had a wonderful way of working together And some of the time you would say it was luck and some of the time you would say it was weather They'd/We go through the house like a hurricane and no sober person would take his oath Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer? Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both? And when you heard a dining room smash or up from the pantry there came a loud crash Or down from the library came a loud ping From a vase that was commonly said to be Ming Then the family would say: Now which was which cat? It was Mungoherrie and Rumpleteazer and there's nothing at all to be done about that!
10.老德特然那米
OLD DEUTERONOMY
演唱:蒙克斯,塔阁
剧情
猫儿们再次重聚舞台,蒙克斯给 没有见过老德特的小猫们讲述这 位猫群首领的事迹
塔阁也在一半的时候加入,表 现出他对老德特的尊敬。(蒙 克斯对此表现得极其感动,好 像从来不敢奢望傲慢的塔阁也 尊敬老德特
这首歌是赞美老德特一生经历的歌,表明了老德特在猫群里的身份。但 除了强调老德特的寿命之长(“老德特活了很久,他已经活了猫的九条 命--我忍不住想说,九十九条。”),歌里并没有太多描述老德特业 绩的段落。反复唱段都是咏叹“是,不,喔,啊!我想我看到了老德特。”歌曲结束的时候老德特上场,所有的猫都冲上去拥抱住他,表现了 对老德特无比的尊敬和崇拜
这首歌由两位男高音合唱,他们的音质优美,歌曲悠扬,十分动听
歌词
Solo: I believe it is Old Deuteronomy
All: Well of all things can it be really Yes, No, ho, hi, oh my eye!My mind may be wandering but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy
Munkustrap: Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time He's a cat who has lived many lives in succession He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme A long while before Queen Victoria's accession Rum Tum Tugger: Old Deuteronomy's buried nine lives And more I am tempted to say ninety-nine And his numerous progeny prospers and thrives And the village is proud of him in his decline
Munkustrap: At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall The oldest inhabitant croaks
Munkustrap, Rum Tum Tugger: Well of all things can it be really Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!My mind may be wandering but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy
All: Well of all things can it be really Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!My mind may be wandering but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy
Well of all things can it be really Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!My mind may be wandering but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy
Well of all things can it be really Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!
Old Deuteronomy: My legs may be tottery I must go slow And be careful of Old Deuteronomy
11.狗咬狗的可怕事件
THE AWE-FULL BATTLE OF THE PEKES AND THE POLLICLES
演唱:蒙克斯
舞蹈:蒙克斯及众猫
剧情:
这是蒙克斯为老德特解闷而编写的一个歌剧。在老德特到来之后,所有 的猫穿上戏装(比如鞋盒装做狗头)扮演各种各样的狗。剧的情节很简 单,就是两只狗在街上相遇之后打起架来,结果所有听见叫声的狗都跑 来参战的故事。最后以威武的英雄蓝姆斯猫出现,吓走了打架的狗结束。可麻烦的是,任凭认真的蒙克斯费尽心机,所有的猫不是搞错了台词,站错了地方,就是错过了正确时机。于是这一场成了《猫》里的滑稽 剧,很多最逗笑的情景都是来自这一场。
这首歌的节奏十分快,歌词好像绕口令一样。蒙克斯想保证歌声嘹亮而 且吐字清晰,就要看演员的功力了。
歌词:
Munkustrap: Of the awful battle of the pekes and the pollicles Together with some account Of the participation of the pugs and the poms And the intervention of the all great Rumpus Cat!!
The pekes and the pollicles everyone knows Are a proud and implacable passionate foes It is always the same where ever one goes And the Pugs and the Poms although most people say That they did not like fighting will once in a way Show every symptom of wanting to join in the fray And they
All: Bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark
Munkustrap: Until you could hear them all over the park
Now on the occassion of which I shall speak Almost nothing had happened for nearly a week And that's long time for a Pol or a Peke The big police dog was away from his beat I don't know the reason but some people think He slipped into the *Wellington's Arms for a drink And no one at all was about on the street When a Peke and a Pollicle happened to meet They did not advance or exactly retreat But they glared at each other and scraped their hind feet And they started to
All: Bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark
Munkustrap: Until you could hear them all over the park Now the Peke although people may say what they please Is no british dog but Heathen Chinese And so all the Pekes when they heard the uproar Some came to the window, some came to the door And together they started to grumble and wheeze In their huffery-snuffery Heathen Chinese But a terrible din is what Pollicles like For your Pollicle dog is a dour Yorkshire tyke
Male Cats: There are dogs out of every nation the Irish, the Welsh and the Dane: The Russian, the Dutch, the Dalmatian, and even from China and Spain.The Poodle, the Pom, the Alsatian And the Mastiff who walks on a chain.Munkustrap: And to those that are frisky and frolical, Let my meaning be perfectly plain:
Male Cats: That my name it is little Tom Pollicle, and you'd better not do it again!”
Munkustrap: And his braw Scottish cousins are snappers and biters And every dog-jack of them notable fighters And so they stepped out with their pipers in order Playing “When the Blue Bonnets Come Over The Border” And the Pugs and the Poms held no longer aloof But some from the balcony some from the roof Joined into the din with a
All: Bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark
Munkustrap: Until you could hear them all over the park
All: Huffery snuffery huffery snuff!
Munkustrap: Until you could hear them all over the park
All: BARK BARK BARK BARK
Munkustrap: NO!!(Silence)When these bold hereos together assembled The traffic all stopped And the Underground trembled And some of the neightbors were so much afraid That they started to ring up the Fire Brigade When suddenly up from a small basement flat Why who should stalk out but the Great Rumpus Cat!!His eyes were like fireballs fearfully blazing He gave a great yawn and his jaws were amazing And when he looked out through the bars of the area You never saw anything fiercer.......Or hairier And what with a glare of his eyes and his yawning The Pekes and the Pollicles quickly took warning He looked to the sky and he gave a great leap And every last one of them scattered like sheep!And when the Police dog returned to his beat There wasn't a single one left on the street!
All: All hail and all bow to the Great Rumpus Cat!!
12.洁里珂之歌
THE SONG OF JELLICLES
演唱:众猫 舞蹈:众猫
剧情:
忽然恶猫麦克再次出现,所有的猫儿 纷纷躲在角落里。蒙克斯保护在老德 特前面,警惕地留在场中心。幸好麦 克只是在场边现一下身就消失了。几只小猫在老德特 的安抚下开始重新 歌唱,由此带动了 所有的猫儿再度集 合表演的舞会。
歌曲重复了“洁利珂舞会的 邀请”的一段。这一场舞蹈 则包括了维多利亚和其他几 只公猫(迷斯特,阿蓝奥兹,和没有上“火车上的猫” 妆的斯格姆)的双人舞。可 以想见,舞会已达到高潮。
歌词:
Demeter:
Old Deuteronomy: Jellicle cats come out tonight Jellicle cats come one, come all The Jellicle Moon is shining bright Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
Solo: Jellicle cats are black and white Jellicle cats are rather small Jellicle cats are merry and bright And pleasant to hear when we caterwaul
Jellicle cats have cheerful faces Jellicle cats have bright black eyes We like to practice our airs and graces And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise
Jellicle cats develop slowly Jellicle cats are not too big Jellicle cats are roly poly We know how to dance a gavotte and a jig Until the Jellicle Moon appears We make our toilette and take our repose Jellicles wash behind their ears Jellicles dry between their toes
Jellicle cats are white and black Jellicle cats are of moderate size Jellicles jump like a jumping jack Jellicle cats have moonlit eyes
We're quiet enough in the morning hours We're quiet enough in the afternoon Reserving our terpsichorean powers To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon
Jellicle cats are black and white Jellicle cats(as we said)are small If it happens to be a stormy night We will pracitce a caper or two in the hall If it happens the sun is shining bright You would say we had nothing to do at all We are resting and saving ourselves to be right For the Jellicle Moon and the Jellicle Ball
All: Jellicle cats come out tonight Jellicle cats come one, come all The Jellicle Moon is shining bright Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
13.格瑞泽贝拉
GRIZABELLA
演唱:格瑞泽
剧情:
格瑞泽第二次上场,所有的猫依然拒绝接 纳她,格瑞泽被孤伶伶地留在舞台中心。
格瑞泽努力地想重现当年的美丽时光,但是她已经年老体弱,永远不 能再像从前那样轻盈的舞蹈了。这时,她唱出了《猫》剧的名曲“记 忆”。老德特在舞台的背景里,听了她的歌声似乎很有感触。可是格 瑞泽没能看到他伸出的手,老德特哀伤地看着她黯然下场。第一幕结束。
歌词:
Jellylorum: You see the border of her coat is torn and stained with sand Jemima: And you see the corner of her eye twist like a crooked pin
Grizabella: 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
Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning Someone mutters and the streetlamp gutters And soon it will be morning
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
14.快乐时光
THE MOMENT OF HAPPINESS
演唱:老德特,吉米玛
剧情:
年老体弱的阁斯,被詹丽搀扶着来到舞 台上,其他的猫纷纷起身给他最好的座 位。
老德特提醒所有的猫儿,快乐的本意不光是在现在,还有值得怀念的过去时 光。
小猫吉美玛用清脆的歌声 唱出格瑞泽的“记忆”的 旋律,她稚嫩的童音,道 出了《猫》剧的内涵“让 回忆牵引你,展开心扉,如果你在那里发现了快乐 的意义,一个新的生命就 会在你面前展开。”
猫儿们听了这些话,似乎有所触动。
歌词:
Old Deuteronomy: The moments of happiness We had the experience but missed the meaning And approach to the meaning restores the experience In a different form beyond any meaning we can assign to happiness The past experience revived in the meaning Is not the experience of one life only But of many generations Not forgetting something that is probably quite ineffable
Jemima: Moonlight.Turn your face to the moonlight Let your memory lead you Open up enter in If you find there the meaning of what happiness is Then a new life will begin
15.格斯:剧院的猫
GUS: THE THEATRE CAT
演唱:詹丽,格斯
剧情:
格斯一直由詹丽照顾,因此也由 詹丽向大家介绍他这只戏院里的 猫。
别看现在的格斯又老又瘦,而且因 为生病爪子也止不住的颤抖。可是 格斯在年轻的时候,可是戏院里鼎 鼎大名的演员。他曾经扮演过数不 胜数的优秀角色,甚至有一次谢幕 七次之多。老格斯也自豪地诉说当 年他精湛的演技,而且还有更重要 的,现在的小猫们所没有的,认真 踏实的态度。
“现在的小猫们,可不 像我们当年受过那么严 格的训练。他们只会耍 些小聪明,还以为蹦蹦 跳跳就能当好演员。” “这些现代戏么,也都 不错,可是,不能和我 们当年相比。”
--格斯要是会说中文,一定就会说出“真是 一代不如一代”的话啦。
老格斯回忆着自己当年演过的角色,他明白那 些辉煌时光再不回来,十分哀伤。
歌词:
Jellylorum: Gus is the cat at the theatre door His name as I ought to have told you before Is really Asparagus, and that's such a fuss to pronounce That we usually call him just Gus His coat's very shabby, he's thin as a rake And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake Yet he was in his youth quite the smartest of cats But no longer a terror to mice or to rats
For he isn't the cat that he was in his prime Though his name was quite famous, he says, in his time And whenever he joins his friends at their club(Which takes place at the back of the neighboring pub)He loves to regale them, if someone else pays With anecdotes drawn from his palmiest days For he once was a star of the highest degree He has acted with Irving, he's acted with Tree And he likes to relate his success on the halls Where the gallery once gave him seven cat calls But his greatest creation as he loves to tell Is Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell
Gus: I have played in my time every possible part And I used to know seventy speeches by heart I'd extemporize backchat, I knew how to gag And I knew how to let the cat out of the bag I knew how to act with my back and my tail With an hour of rehearsal, I never could fail I'd a voice that would soften the hardest of hearts Whether I took the lead, or in character parts I have sat by the bedside of poor little Nell When the curfew was rung then I swung on the bell In the pantomime season I never fell flat And I once understudied Dick Whittington's cat But my greatest creation, as history will tell Was Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell
Jellylorum: Then, if someone will give him a toothful of gin He will tell how he once played a part in East Lynne At a Shakespeare performance he once walked on pat When some actor suggested the need for a cat
Gus: And I say now these kittens, they do not get trained As we did in the days when Victoria reigned They never get drilled in a regular troupe And they think they are smart just to jump through a hoop
Jellylorum: And he says as he scratches himself with his claws Well the theatre is certainly not what it was These modern productions are all very well But there's nothing to equal, from what I hear tell That moment of mystery when I made history As Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell
Gus: I once crossed the stage on a telephone wire To rescue a child when a house was on fire And I think that I still can much better than most Produce blood curdling noises to bring on the ghost And I once played Growltiger Could do it again, could do it again Could do it again
16.格若泰格的最后一战
GROWLTIGER’S LAST STAND
演唱:格斯(格若泰格)及众猫 舞蹈:格斯(格若泰格)及众猫
剧情:
这一首歌的场面很大,是《猫》全剧唯一的一次场景改换(由破烂堆转为 荡漾碧波中的船只和小岛)。这其实是老演员格斯一段关于当年演出的回 忆。很可惜这首歌,及后面的比利·麦库尔的叙事诗都没有被《猫》的录 象带收录。
格若泰格的最后一战,讲的是海盗格若
泰格,在海上危害四方,罪大恶极。
可是一天他见到美丽的母猫格瑞德波,受其迷惑,竟没能看到猫群的追杀,终
于在最后一战之中落水而亡。
在这一段里,格斯扮演格若泰格。(据说在舞台上,格斯在唱完“格斯: 剧院的猫”之后,突然挥去身上残旧破烂的老皮,摇身变成英武雄壮的大 海盗格若泰格。)詹丽身着白衣扮演格瑞德波。其他几只公猫(通常是蒙 克斯,斯格姆,塔阁,迷斯特和阿兰兹奥)先是扮演被格若泰格袭击的商 船船员,后来扮演冲上来杀害格若泰格的一群狸猫。
虽然听来也许像是个坏人罪有应得的故事,可是由于格若泰格与格瑞德波 对唱情歌真挚动人,而后在格若泰格被人围功的时候格瑞德波却偷偷溜掉,格若泰格反而变成了让人怜悯的悲剧英雄。
17.比利·麦库尔的叙事诗
THE BALLAD OF BILLY M’CAW
演唱:格斯(格若泰格)及众猫
舞蹈:格斯(格若泰格)及众猫
剧情:
这首歌和前一首歌加在一起有两种唱法。一种是只唱前一首,但是篇幅 很长;一种是两首都唱,但篇幅都有删节。因此下面的歌词,事实上是 两首放在一起的。
18.斯格宝杉克斯:火车上的猫
SKIMBLESHANKS:THE RAILWAY CAT
演唱:斯格姆
舞蹈:斯格姆及众猫
剧情:
火车上的猫斯格姆即使与 老德特没有血缘关系,他 也无疑被猫儿们看作最可 爱的叔叔。他的到来,使 场上充满了快乐的气氛,所有的猫儿为他唱歌伴舞,和谐欢快的场面只有詹 妮的歌“老甘比猫”可以 媲美。
斯格宝是一只在火车上举足轻重 的猫。如果没有他细心周密的监 督,整个火车就无法顺利运行。斯格宝照顾着旅客、行李、车厢,甚至连车上的工人和列车长也 得听他调度。在半夜里他也不会 闲下来,而是在火车上下巡逻视 察,因为有责任心的斯格宝从不 让事情出一点差错。
猫群里的大猫小猫对劳苦功高的斯格宝 十分尊敬。他们用雨伞,埽笊,自行车 轮和探照灯为斯格宝装配了一辆火车,在这首歌结束的时候,大家把他像英雄 一样高举起来。
这一段的舞蹈虽然不多,但是场上的活 动纷繁多样,带了一点儿童剧式的灵活 多变的色彩。而且这首歌的节奏十分明 快,曲调流畅,是剧中较有名的曲目之 一。
歌词:
All: Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat the cat of the railway train
There's a whisper down the line at eleven thirty-nine When the night mail's ready to depart Saying, “Skimble, where is Skimble has he gone to hunt the thimble We must find him or the train can't start”
Skimbleshanks: All the guards and all the porters and the station master's daughters Would be searching high and low Saying “Skimble where is Skimble for unless he's very nimble Then the night mail just can't go.At eleven forty-two with the signal overdue And the passengers all frantic to a man That's when I would appear and I'd saunter to the rear I'd been busy in the luggage van!Then he gave one flash of his glass-green eyes And the signal went all clear& They'd be off at last for the northern part of the northern hemisphere!
All: Skimbleshanks, the Railway Cat the cat of the railway train Skimbleshanks: You might say that by and large it was me who was in charge Of the Sleeping Car Express From the driver and the guards to the bagmen playing cards I would supervise them all more or less Down the corridor he paces and examines all the faces Of the travellers in the first and the third He established control by a regular patrol and he'd know at once if anything occurred.And he'd watch you without winking and he saw what you were thinking And it's certain that he didn't approve Of hilarity and riot so that folks were very quiet When Skimble was about and on the move You could play no pranks with Skimbleshanks He's a cat that couldn't be ignored So nothing went wrong on the Northern Mail When Skimbleshanks was aboard
It was very pleasant when they'd found their little den With their name written up on the door And the berth was very neat with a newly folded sheet And not a speck of dust upon the floor There was every sort of light you could make it dark or bright And a button you could turn to make a breeze And a funny little basin you're supposed to wash your face in And a crank to shut the window should you sneeze Then the guard looked in politely and would ask you very brightly Would you like your morning tea weak or strong? But I was right behind him and was ready to remind him For Skimble won't let anything go wrong
All: When they crept into their cosy berth and pulled up the counterpane They all could reflect that it was very nice To know that they wouldn't be bothered by mice They can leave all that to the railway cat The cat of the railway train Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat the cat of the railway train
Skimbleshanks: In the watches of the night I was always fresh and bright Every now and then I'd have a cup of tea With perhaps a drop of scotch while I was keeping on the watch Only stopping here and there to catch a flea They were fast asleep at Crewe And so they never knew that I was walking up and down the station They were sleeping all the while I was busy at Carlisle Where I met the station master with elation
They might see me at Dumfries if I summoned the police If there was anything they ought to know about When they got to Gallowgate there they did not have to wait For Skimbleshanks would help them to get out
All: And he gives a wave of his long brown tail Which says ”I'll see you again“ You will meet without fail on the midnight mail The Cat of the Railway Train
You will meet without fail on the midnight mail The Cat of the Railway Train
19.麦克维题:神秘的猫
MACAVITY:THE MYSTERY CAT
演唱:蒂米特,邦姆博
舞蹈:蒂米特,邦姆博
剧情:
这一段的风格急转,由无忧无虑 的旋律直落成神秘阴暗,流利婉 转的爵士乐。许多故事的关键情 节也都发生在这一首歌里。斯格宝的歌被麦克的到来打断。这一次,麦克不再隐藏在幕后冷 笑,而是直接闯到场上,带领他 的老鼠爪牙截走了老德特。
全场的猫儿都被这突然的变化惊呆了。在蒙 克斯带领其他猫追赶麦克的时候,两只曾经 与麦克相识的母猫,蒂米特和邦姆博,向躲 在角落里的小猫们讲述麦克这一只神秘的罪 犯猫。
麦克人称“隐藏的魔爪”,因为他虽然罪大恶极,可是 从没有人抓住过他犯罪的证 据。他看起来总是半睡半醒,无所事事的样子,其实那 只是他在深思熟虑时的伪装。无论他做了什么坏事,比如 偷人家的牛奶,打碎暖房的 玻璃,麦克总能抓出一两个 证人证明他不在案发现场。因此就连苏格兰场也没有他 的犯罪案底。
麦克自在地萧遥于法外,在 幕后操纵着无数恶行。蒂米 特和邦姆博愤怒的称他为“ 犯罪界的拿破伦”。
这一段里,两只母猫载歌载 舞,歌声亮丽浑厚,舞蹈柔 韧夭娆,是本剧的经典曲目。
蒙克斯和其他的猫儿没有找到老德特,失望的回来,不想几只老鼠忽然带着老 德特出现。他们解开老德特让他回到猫群之中。在所有的猫兴奋地拥抱老德特 的时候,蒂米特却连连退缩。只有她看出场上的老德特不是老德特本人。最后,她终于冲上前去揭开老德特的灰皮,原来皮的下藏着的是大犯罪者麦克!
麦克被揭露了面目,放肆地 伸出利爪,在猫群里四下抓 咬,猖狂到极点。可是在他 又一次抓住蒂米特,想要截 持她的时候,蒙克斯和阿兰 兹奥冲上去救下了蒂米特。
然后,蒙克斯和麦克展开一场血淋 淋的大战。最后蒙克斯虽然失败,但是被激怒的猫群勇敢地站起来,团团围攻麦克。麦克敌不过这么多 猫,在受伤之后他抓过场边裸露的 电线,使电线造成短路,全场陷入 一片黑暗。麦克也称着黑暗逃跑了。
暗中,受伤的猫儿互相安慰。
歌词:
Demeter: Macavity!
Macavity's a mystery cat: He's called the Hidden Paw For he's a master criminal who can defy the law He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare And when you reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!
Bombalutina: Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin You would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in His brow is deeply lined in thought, his head is highly domed His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake!
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity He is a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
Demeter, Bombalutina: He's outwardly respectable, I know he cheats at cards And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's And when the larder's looted or the jewel cases rifled Or when the milk is missing or another Peke's been stifled Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not there!
and they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time Just controls the operations: The Napoleon of Crime!
Demeter, Bombalutina: Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square But when a crime's discovered then Macavity, Macavity Macavity, Macavity When a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
All: We have to find Old Deuteronomy
20.迷斯特弗里斯先生
MR。MISTOFFELEES
演唱:塔阁,迷斯特(百老汇版);塔阁
舞蹈:迷斯特
剧情:
猫群在黑暗中惶恐不安,他们急需 要找回老德特,却又不知道该如何 找起。这时候,塔阁从躲避的地方(他大概是唯一没有参战的成年猫)走出来,向大家介绍了一只年轻 的猫:迷斯特弗里斯先生(迷斯特)。
迷斯特是一只有魔力的猫,要说他的魔幻法术,就连 人类的魔术师也甘拜下风。他看起来小巧灵活,年轻 而且有些害羞,可是他的能力不能让人小看。他能穿 过最小的缝隙,也曾在帽子里变出七只小猫,他能使 人在空间里跳跃,大家明明在屋里刚看见他,转眼他 却在房顶上出现。
迷斯特在塔阁的歌声中从天而降。他用魔力引亮了场 上的灯,使破烂堆又现光明。
然后,他选卡珊德拉做助手,用一快红绸变 回了老德特。
所有的猫一起为老德特的归来和迷斯特的魔 力欢呼。小迷斯特自己也因为有机会为猫群 做大事而高兴得连蹦带跳。
这一首歌,在一些版本里是塔阁独唱,但也有一些版本里是塔阁和迷斯特合唱。但是 舞蹈只有剧团里最优秀的舞者--迷斯特独自承担。这首歌的曲调动听,重复的地方多,因而会给人留下很深的印象。
歌词:
Rum Tum Tugger: You ought to ask Mr.Mistoffelees!The original Conjuring Cat The greatest magicians have something to learn From Mr.Mistoffelees conjuring turn
And you'll all say Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees
He is quiet, he is small, he is black From the ears to the tip of his tail He can creep through the tiniest crack He can walk on the narrowest rail He can pick any card from a pack He is equally cunning with dice He is always decieving you into believing That he's only hunting for mice
He can play any trick with a cork Or a spoon and a bit of fish paste If you look for a knife or a fork And you think it was merely misplaced You have seen it one moment and then it is gone!But you find it next week laying out on the lawn
And we all say Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees
All: And we all say Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees
And we all say Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees
And we all say Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees
Mistoffelees/Rum Tum Tugger: Well!My manner is vague and aloof You would think there was nobody shyer But my voice has been heard on the roof When I was curled up by the fire And I've sometimes been heard by the fire When I was about on the roof At least they all heard that somebody purred Which is uncontestable proof of my singular magical powers And I've known the family to call me in from the garden for hours When I was asleep in the hall
Rum Tum Tugger: And not long ago this phenomenal cat Produced seven kittens right out of a hat
And we all say Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees
And not long ago this phenomenal cat Produced seven kittens right out of a hat
And we all say Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees Oh!well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees
Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the magical Mr.Mistoffelees!

歌词:
Jemima: Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower And a rose that is fading Roses whither away Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn I am waiting for the day
Munkustrap: Now Old Deuteronomy just before dawn Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife Announces the cat who can now be reborn And come back to a different Jellicle Life
Grizabella:
Memory, turn your face to the moonlight Let your memory lead you Open up, enter in If you find there the meaning of what happiness is Then a new life will begin
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
Burnt out ends of smokey days The stale cold smell of morning The streetlamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I musn't give in When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin
Sunlight, through the trees in summer Endless masquerading Like a flower as the dawn is breaking The memory is fading
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

这一首歌的篇幅很短,是尾声之前的过渡。
歌词:
All: Up up up past the Russell Hotel Up up up up to the Heaviside Layer
Up up up past the Russell Hotel Up up up up to the Heaviside Layer
Up up up past the Russell Hotel Up up up up to the Heaviside Layer
Up up up past the Russell Hotel Up up up up to the Heaviside Layer
Up up up past the Jellicle Moon Up up up up to the Heaviside Layer
Up up up past the Jellicle Moon Up up up up to the Heaviside Layer
The mystical divinity of unashamed felinity Round the cathedral rang ”Vivat“ Life to the everlasting cat
23.对猫儿的态度
THE ADDRESSING OF CATS
演唱:老德特
剧情:
全剧的最后的一首歌是老德特唱给场外听众的。他告诉大家,其实猫和 人类没什么不同。经过了这一晚精彩的演出,人类也看到了各种各样的 猫儿,也知道了他们的特点和喜好。所以,要是你想得到猫儿的尊敬,就要首先尊重他们。
歌词:
Old Deuteronomy:
You've heard of several kinds of cat And my opinion now is that You should need no interpreter to understand our character You've learned enough to take the view That cats are very much like you You've seen us both at work and play And learnt about our proper names Our habits and our habitat But how would you ad-dress a cat
So first, your memory I'll jog And say: A cat is not a dog So first, your memory I'll jog And say: A cat is not a dog
With cats, some say one rule is true Don't speak til you are spoken to Myself I do not hold with that I say you should ad-dress a cat But always bear in mind that he resents familiarity You bow, and taking off your hat, ad-dress him in this form: ”O cat"!
Before a cat will condescend To treat you as a trusted friend Some little token of esteem is needed, like a dish of cream And you might now and then supply Some caviar or strassburg pie Some potted grouse or salmon paste He's sure to have his personal taste
And so in time you reach your aim And call him by his name
All: A cat's entitled to expect These evidences of respect So this is this and that is that And there's how you ad-dress a cat
A cat's entitled to expect these evidences of respect So this is this, and that is that And there's how you ad-dress a cat
第三篇:【音乐欣赏】著名音乐剧《猫》的片段《Memory回忆 》
【音乐欣赏】著名音乐剧《猫》的片段《Memory回忆 》
《猫》是世界历史上最成功的音乐剧。其剧作者安德鲁·洛伊德·韦伯(Andrew Lloyd Webber)是世界音乐剧史上一个极其罕见的天才,权威的《戏剧周刊》将韦伯列为“对美国戏剧界最具影响力的100人”中的第一位,英国王室授予他爵位以表彰他对英国戏剧和世界音乐剧的杰出贡献。《Memory》的主旋律是Webber早几年就酝酿好的,它的词来自《猫》剧的导演Trevor Nunn,也是根据Eliot未发表的诗改编。剧中演唱的猫是Grizabella,它是只曾经风华绝代但已年老色衰的灰色猫,有说法是它当年离弃族群去探寻大千世界,所以当它再次出现且落魄潦倒时,大家都对它嗤之以鼻(但有些小辈们则表现出好奇和善意)。它几次演唱《Memory》,回首往事,如泣如诉,终于打动众人,也令自己被赋予重生的机会。
《Elaine Paige伊莲·佩姬演唱》
伊莲·佩姬被誉为当代最伟大的音乐剧天后,是当今世界身价最高的音乐剧演员;她让《猫》中的《memory》,《evita》中的《阿根廷,别为我哭泣》成为永恒经典;她是韦伯音乐剧成功的法宝;她纵横舞台四十年,成为当今世界音乐剧舞台上无可争议的女王。
第四篇:歌曲Memory中英文歌词
歌曲Memory中英文歌词
Memory是音乐剧 《猫》里的非常有名的唱段.是由英国音乐剧皇后伊莲.佩吉elaine paige演唱的。
Midnight Not a sound from the pavement 午夜,大地一片死寂 Has the moon lost her memory 是否月亮也失去她的记忆 She is smiling alone 看她独自笑得多么凄凉 In the lamplight 路灯下
The withered leaves collect at my feet 落叶开始在我脚下堆积 And the wind begins to moan Memory All alone in the moonlight I can dream at the old days I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness wasLet 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 is 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...而风儿,也开始哀鸣 回忆
孤零零地站在月光里
我能梦到那些过去的日子 那时的我曾经多么美丽 想起那时,我才明白什么
叫做幸福
就让回忆,再度降临 每一盏街灯
似乎都在发出致命的警告 有人低语,街灯闪烁明灭 另一个早晨很快就要到来 日光!
我必须等待日光出现
我必须面对一种新的生活 而且我不能屈服 当黎明到来
今夜也将成为回忆 新的一天也将开始 烟雾弥漫的日子 清晨腐败冰冷的气息
街灯熄灭又一个夜晚逝去 新的黎明即将到来 靠近我吧!
离开我是如此的容易 就让我独自留在凄凉的回
忆里
回想那些曾经灿烂的时光 但如果你靠近我
你就会了解什么是幸福 看,新的一天,已经到来
