Les Miserables/悲惨世界


说Susan Boyle是当今网络上最红的人物并不为过。
她用她那动人的嗓音感动了无数的人,就像前几年的Paul Potts一样。
他们都是从Britian Got Talent里头红起来的人物。
我喜欢这个节目,尤其在面试的那个阶段,因为你永远不晓得会发生什么事。
这个节目会比American Idol轰动的原因我觉得是因为在面试的时候有大群的观众在看。
因为观众,所以造就了感动的画面,让人留下了深刻的印象。

我在这里想写的事I dream a dream这首歌曲。
我在被Susan的歌声吸引的当儿,我也深深地为这首歌曲的歌词着迷。
这是来自法国浪漫主义大师雨果的《悲惨世界》里的歌曲。
以下是这首歌的歌词。

There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

听完以后,我很有冲动想了解《悲惨世界》里所叙说的故事。
我想我很快就会买来看了,看完以后我再来写写我的感想。
以下是我个人喜欢的两个版本。

这是在《悲惨世界》舞台剧十周年纪念时由Ruthie Hanshall所演绎的。

这个是我个人最喜欢的版本,由Hayley Westenra所演绎的版本,当时她才不过十四岁而已。
