这首歌曲选自英国作曲家安得鲁.洛伊德.韦伯(Andrew Lloyd Webber)根据T.S.艾略特(T.S.Eliot)的诗集谱曲的音乐歌舞剧.自从1981年在伦敦首场演出之后,已经成为迄今以来最著名的歌舞剧。《猫》曾一度成为歌舞剧的代名词.其中最经典的唱段就是朋友们现在听到的这首《回忆》。
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 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 smokey 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...
午夜,
路上寂静无声,
月儿是否也失去记忆?
他笑得多孤寂,
街灯下,
枯叶在我的脚下堆积,
风儿也开始叹息。
回忆,
当我独自在月光里,
我笑看着往昔,
当时多么美丽,
回忆当时我知快乐是什么含义,
让回忆重新降临。
每盏街灯似乎都
在发出宿命的警讯,
喃喃低语,
街上灯光又熄,
清晨就快要来临。
天明,
我要等待太阳升气,
我要为未来思虑,
而我不能放弃。
黎明到来,
今夜就将要成为回忆,
新的一天就要开启。
每日都像烟雾燃烧,
霉味充满清晨空气。
街灯已熄,
又是一夜过去,
又将是一个黎明。
靠近我,
离开我多么容易,
让我独自回忆,
回忆昨日美丽。
如果靠近我,
你将明了快乐的意义,
看,新的一天已来临。
