지상은는 1996년 태어나서 처음으로 뮤지컬이란 걸 봤는데, 그것이 뮤지컬레미제라블이었다. "Castle on a cloud" 와 "Do you hear the people sing" 은 정말 좋아하는 곡이고, 특히 "Do you hear the people sing"을 좋아하는 이유는, 더 이상 노예로 살고 싶지 않기 때문이다.

Do you hear the people sing
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echos the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Do you hear the people singDo you hear the people sing?

1.2. CASTLE ON A CLOUD ¶
There is a castle on a cloud,
I like to go there in my sleep,
Aren't any floors for me to sweep,
Not in my castle on a cloud.
There is a room that's full of toys,
There are a hundred boys and girls,
Nobody shouts or talks too loud,
Not in my castle on a cloud.
There is a lady all in white,
Holds me and sings a lullabye,
She's nice to hear and she's soft to touch,
She says "Cosette, I love you very much."
I know a place where no one's lost,
I know a place where no one cries,
Crying at all is not allowed,
Not in my castle on a cloud. |}}

추억의 뮤지컬레미제라블 음반을 듣고 있습니다. 저는 "Drink with me"와 "Empty chairs at empty tables"를 더 좋아합니다. 전자는 위대한 목적으로 저항을 하더라도 지금 포기할수 없어도 그것이 정말 옳은지에 대한 고뇌가 담겨있기 때문이고요이것이 인간의 숙명같아요, 후자는 광주항쟁때 살아남은 자들의 슬픔이라는 것을 표현해주는 것 같아서저는 모르는 거지요, 듣기만 한 것을 노래를 통해서 간접적으로 이해할 수 있어서... 좋아합니다. 하지만 정말 솔직히 말하자면 뮤지컬레미제라블에 나오는 노래는 모두 좋아합니다. 한곡도 버릴 수가 없어요. 처음 봤을 때는 노래를 전부 암기했답니다, .png ":)")

Drink with me to days gone by
Sing with me the songs we knew.
Drink with me to days gone by
Sing with me the songs we knew.
Here's to pretty girls
Who went to our heads.
Who went to our heads.
Here's to witty girls
Who went to our beds.
Who went to our beds.
Here's to them
And here's to you!
And here's to you!
Drink with me to days gone by
Can it be you fear to die?
Will the world remember you
When you fall?
Could it be your death
Means nothing at all?
Is your life just one more lie?
Can it be you fear to die?
Will the world remember you
When you fall?
Could it be your death

Do I care if I should die
Now she goes across the sea?
Life without Cosette
Means nothing at all.
Would you weep, Cosette,
Should Marius fall?
Will you weep,
Cosett,.
For me? |}}

1.4. EMPTY CHAIRS AT EMPTY TABLES ¶
{{|
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone.
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone.
Here they talked of revolution
Here it was they lit the flame
Here they sang aboout 'tomorrow'
And tomorrow never came.
Here it was they lit the flame
Here they sang aboout 'tomorrow'
And tomorrow never came.
From the table in the coner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
I can hear them now
The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On the lonely barricade at dawn!
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
I can hear them now
The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On the lonely barricade at dawn!
Oh my friends, my friends, forgive me
That I live and you are gone.
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on.
That I live and you are gone.
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on.
Phantom faces at the window
Phantom shadows on the floor
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will meet no more.
Phantom shadows on the floor
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will meet no more.
Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me
What your sacrifice was for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will sing no more. |}}

1.5. ON MY OWN ¶
Music by Claude Michel Schonberg
Lyrics by Richard Maltby.jr and Alain Boublil
Lyrics by Richard Maltby.jr and Alain Boublil
(And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to turn , no one to go to
without a home
without a friend
without a face to say hello to
And now the night is near.
Now I can make believe he's here
Nowhere to turn , no one to go to
without a home
without a friend
without a face to say hello to
And now the night is near.
Now I can make believe he's here
Sometimes I walk alone at night when
everybody else is sleeping.
I think of him and then I'm happy with
the company I'm keeping.
The city goes to bed.
And I can live inside my head.)
everybody else is sleeping.
I think of him and then I'm happy with
the company I'm keeping.
The city goes to bed.
And I can live inside my head.)
Own my own
Pretending he's beside me.
All alone, I walk with him till morning
Without him,
I feel his arms around me.
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me!
Pretending he's beside me.
All alone, I walk with him till morning
Without him,
I feel his arms around me.
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me!
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever.
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever.
And I know it's only in my mind.
That I'm talking to myself and not to him.
And although I know that he is blind,
Still I say, there's a way for us!
That I'm talking to myself and not to him.
And although I know that he is blind,
Still I say, there's a way for us!
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone, The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare, and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers.
But when the night is over
He is gone, The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare, and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers.
I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending.
Without me His world would go on turning
The world is full of happiness
That I have never known.
But every day I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending.
Without me His world would go on turning
The world is full of happiness
That I have never known.
I love him,I love him,I love him...
But only on my own.

Felix는 뮤지컬레미제라블을 제대로 본 적이 아직 없지만, 부분적으로 TV등에서 구경하고,들어봤습니다. 몇년전에 동계올림픽 피겨스케이팅 여자솔로종목에서 중국계 미국선수 미셸 콴이 이 <On My Own>을 배경음악으로 빙판위를 마음껏 가로지르던 모습이 참 아름답게 가슴에 남아서, 이 곡만 들으면 그 장면이 생각나지요.
진짜 뮤지컬 속에서 이 장면을 보는 것은 그 장면을 보는 것만큼이나 아름답고 애절한 마음이 절절합니다. 특히 그 파란 조명이 어찌나 분위기에 잘 어울리는지 ㅎㅎ --naya
2. 노래에 대한 얘기들 ¶
질문 노래 중에 'I Dreamed a Dream'이 있는데 그 가사 중 But the tigers come at night with their voices soft as thunder 이란 부분이 있습니다. 저는 이걸 몇년이 흐르도록 이해하지 못하고 있어요. 영문학 전공하신 여러분, 좀 알려주세요. 참고로 이 가사의 윗부분엔 행복한 과거를 노래하고 있고 이 가사를 시작으로 현재의 불행을 이야기하고 있습니다. 그러니까 이 가사는 불행이 시작된 것에 대해 이야기하고 있는데 정말 호랑이가 나타났다는 뜻은 아닐테고...ㅡㅡ;; 석
답변
Fantine 의 노래군요. Fantine 은 Cosette 의 엄마죠.
가사전문 中에서 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 이 부분이 문제가 되는것 같군요. 그 앞부문을 보면 인생이 아주 달콤한 시절이 있었는데(과거) , 호랑이들이 밤에 온다고 하지요(현재). 그리고는 꿈을 망가뜨리고, 꿈을 수치로 만들어 버린다고 하지요. 그 목소리가 천둥같이 부드럽다는 표현은 호랑이의 낮게 으르렁거리는 소리 연상하시면 될듯하고. 여기서 호랑이는 부조리한 사회 전체를 가리킬수도 있고, 폭정이나, 혹은 불행한 운명등을 가리킬수도 있지요. 프랑스에서는 어떤지 모르겠는데, 서양에서는 대개 호랑이가 악마적으로 비유되는 동물입니다. 이부분이 지나면, 'He'에 대한 회상이 나오는군요. 그러니까, 좋은 시절이 있었는데, '호랑이'로 비유되는 어떤일이 닥쳐서 꿈이 산산조각이 나버렸고, '그'이가 잠시 곁에 머물다가 사라져버렸다는 회상. 생이 자신의 꿈을 죽였다고 노래하는군요. 노래가사의 시제를 유의해서 보면, 아름다웠던 일은 모두 과거시제입니다. 그리고 현재는 지옥이지요. 지옥.
이노래를 네 단락으로 나눠보면, 첫째, 과거에 행복하던 시절이 있었는데, 둘째, 현재는 호랑이 같은 무서운 운명의 포로가 되어있고, 셋째, 과거에 사랑하는 그와 잠시 행복했었는데, 넷째, 현재는 지옥같은 현실속에 꿈도 죽어버렸다. 과거-현재-과거-암담한현재 이렇게 들락날락하면서 행-불행이 극명하게 대조를 이루지요. <가사 흐름의 시제변화를 눈여겨 보시면 노래가 훨씬 입체적으로 보입니다.>
