A Little Fall of Rain

今天天氣的確是a little fall of rain(笑)

預計明天音樂課就會把Les Mis(悲慘世界)看完
不過我還是在家裡就把進度偷跑完了XD

(明明應該去打英文報告的現在是在做什麼?)

Les mis裡面最喜歡的角色是Eponine(愛波寧)
比起On My Own更加喜歡這首A Little Fall of Rain
(不過第一次聽On My Own聽到快哭倒是真的--Fantine的主旋律啊

比起很多人而言,Eponine相當的勇敢
即使得不到回饋仍然繼續付出
反抗父親,甚至幫助Cosette和Marius
能在Marius的懷中死去、應該也是她的幸福吧
尤其最後Fantine和Eponine又出現要接走Jean
那首合唱感人到讓人說不出話來
一開始還想說這合聲不太像Cosette呢(笑)
(→真是這樣就會變成母女合唱了)

Les Mis的感想真要打的話大概要打一整篇
所以今天就在此打住好了(汗)

A Little Fall of Rain
EPONINE
 Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
 I don't feel any pain
 A little fall of rain
 Can hardly hurt me now
 You're here, that's all I need to know
 And you will keep me safe
 And you will keep me close
 And rain will make the flowers grow

MARIUS
 But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above
 If I could heal your wounds with words of love

EPONINE
 Just hold me now, and let it be
 Shelter me, comfort me

MARIUS
 You would live a hundred years
 If I could show you how
 I won't desert you now...

EPONINE
 The rain can't hurt me now
 This rain will wash away what's past
 And you will keep me safe
 And you will keep me close
 I'll sleep in your embrace at last

 The rain that brings you here
 Is Heaven-blessed!
 The skies begin to clear
 And I'm at rest
 A breath away from where you are
 I've come home from so far

 So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
 I don't feel any pain
 A little fall of rain
 Can hardly hurt me now

MARIUS(in counterpoint)
 Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine
 You won't feel any pain
 A little fall of rain
 Can hardly hurt you now
 I'm here

EPONINE
 That's all I need to know
 And you will keep me safe
 And you will keep me close

MARIUS(in counterpoint)
 I will stay with you
 Till you are sleeping

EPONINE
 And rain...

MARIUS
 And rain...

EPONINE
 Will make the flowers...

MARIUS
 Will make the flowers... grow...


因為是對唱歌詞顯得有些複雜(汗)

想當初姊買DVD前我可是用錄影帶認真的一遍又一遍的聽,還自己聽寫歌詞呢(→不好意思這是興趣!)但還是有一兩處聽不出來是什麼字就是了
其中最喜歡的兩句是:
 A breath away from where you are
 I've come home from so far

Eponine給我的感覺是堅強,卻又希望能讓Marius保護自己
歌詞中不斷唱到「keep me save」、「shelter me」、還有最後的「home」
終於最後她在Marius的懷中可以盡情撒嬌尋求溫暖
畢竟那裡才是她所認同的歸屬啊

最後一句的And rain will make the flowers grow
個人認為是Eponine樂觀的人生哲學
相信並等待雨後的花香,就像她一直以來等待Marius的愛一樣
或許這一刻能被Marius抱著,就是她想望以久的花香吧
相較之下同時間發生的死亡和痛楚根本微不足道
也因此Eponine最後是笑著離去
即使那陣香是如此短暫……

另外想特別提一下「M'sieur」是法文中的「先生」
還有Marius最後在合聲中唱的「Hush-a-bye」,是哄小孩入睡時說的話,有點像「晚安」的意思
至於這首歌的韻味我想還是聽過比較能理解、尤其是最後的ending
只有A、B兩段旋律卻仍有副歌般高潮迭起的感覺,實在令人佩服!

以後有機會再好好打感想或貼別的歌上來
今天想做這件事純粹是因為下了一整天的綿綿細雨(笑)

……好想買CD啊但是CD比DVD還貴讓我買不下去啦OTL
