April 18, 2009  Now life has killed the dream I dreamed

去年上英國文時,看同學意興闌珊,缺乏像老師我一樣熱火般的求知慾,就又做起你們生命中的啦啦隊長,點播這首Fantine維克多·雨果小說悲惨世界改編的同名音樂劇所唱的solo: I Dreamed a Dream給你們這群心已枯槁媚俗的大學生聽。我不知道這首歌在你們的生活中起了多大的漣漪,但我家孩子在車子裡聽我試播CD時問道:「是什麼事讓她唱得這樣難過?」我順口回他:「一個偷麵包被關很久的故事。」愛吃麵包的他聽了眼睛睜好大:「為什麼?後來呢?」懶得理他:「自己看嘛!」我們在新學友遍尋不著這本書,當老師的媽媽就去圖書館借,成為他第一本完全沒有圖片的文字書,我感動地快掉下淚來...他開始「自己看」基度山恩仇記(他說是個搶女朋友的故事?被人陷害後來逃出來報仇?)、十五少年飄流記(他說是紐西蘭小學校外教學的故事?船被人放流飄到荒島,還有地圖和放大風箏的故事?)、假鐵面(他說是雙胞胎國王的故事?)、金銀島(他說是藏在馬鈴薯桶還是蘋果桶偷聽到有寶藏的故事?)...相較之下,我真的還蠻理你們的嘛?! (My favorites: ""Stars," "On my Own," "Do You Hear People Sing")

--------------------------------------------------
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
時光苒荏 夢境又來,希望滿懷 生命澎湃。
在我夢裡 真愛不渝;在我夢裡 主愛無限。

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
夢裡的我 年輕無懼,夢想荒唐 姿意浪擲,
夢裡的我 錢若輕煙;無歌不唱 無酒不歡。

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
遠方戰火 低沈如雷;憂心恐懼 如夜掩至
希望與期待 已被現實撕裂
夢想的實踐 如同笑話幻滅

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
然而 我仍企盼 情人歸來,與我共渡 美好餘生。
只是 總有美夢 無法成真,總有風暴 無法掌控,

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.
夢想生活 應是盡美盡善,回到現實 卻如焦土地獄
差距之大 讓我無法想像,我的美夢 已被現實扼殺

英國星光大道「Britain's Got Talent」,第一屆紅了Paul Potts,而今年第三屆,同樣「驚天動地」的另一參賽者終於出現。Susan Boyle,一個47歲的大嬸,據她所說一生人未試過拍拖,也未被男人吻過,自小就參 加合唱團,之後最多也只曾在酒廊唱歌。當她說要唱出舞台劇「孤星淚」的「I Dreamed a Dream」,主持及觀眾們都只有笑和不相信的樣子,但她以美妙的歌聲唱出三秒鐘後, 已經引來全場的尖叫聲及掌聲,主持人也由冷淡變為驚嘆,和開始時的態度完全不同 ... 
Elaine Paige, Susan Boyle's role model, is an English singer and actress best known for her work in musical theatre (Elaine Paige- Memory Live (London 1998).
