唱

早上又大聲唱歌。其實從ICU內已經是這樣。可能想保持心肺功能(就算插住胃管都唱得很大聲)。哈!唱的品種很多;最近好喜歡唱一個我中四中五年代的歌劇。歌劇名叫Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat。那時我不知道是聖經故事,但愛它裡頭的兩首插曲,到現在仍可一字不漏地唱誦出來。當然很少機會唱給人聽啦。現在想同大家分享這兩首歌的歌詞。

Any Dream Will Do

Artist: Joseph & Children Lyrics
Song: Any Dream Will Do Lyrics
Joseph

I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain what I thought I knew
Far far away, someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do

Joseph & Children

I wore my coat, with golden lining
Bright colours shining, wonderful and new
And in the east, the dawn was breaking
And the world was waking
Any dream will do

Joseph

A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colours faded into darkness
I was left alone

Joseph & Children

May I return to the beginning
The light is dimming, and the dream is too
The world and I, we are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do
Joseph

A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colours faded into darkness
I was left alone

Joseph & Children

May I return to the beginning
The light is dimming, and the dream is too
The world and I, we are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do

Close Every Door
Close every door to me,
Hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows
And shut out the light
Do what you want with me,
Hate me and laugh at me
Darken my daytime
And toture my night
If my life were important I
Would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie
Far from this world
Close every door to me,
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel
Are never alone
For I know I shall find
My own peace of mind
For I have been promised
A land of my own

Children

Close every door to me,
Hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows
And shut out the light
Joseph

Just give me a number
Instead of my name
Forget all about me
And let me decay
I do not matter,
I'm only one person
Destroy me completely
Then throw me away
If my life were important I
Would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie
Far from this world

Joseph, Ensemble & Children

Close every door to me,
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel
Are never alone
For we know we shall find
Our own peace of mind
For we have been promised
A land of our own

細心思想一下,知道點解我好想唱這兩首歌。其實就是因為想給病房外的醫護人員聽,要他們知道我戰友的渴望,他們的心情。

好想再欣賞這歌劇,相信感覺會不同。我知道近年有返做,但男主角已換掉。懷念Jason Donovan那一齣。
