這首Someone Like You是音樂劇Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde中很出名的一首曲子,是音樂劇自創角色妓女Lucy終於找到改變命運的契機時的歌曲;眾家版本中我最喜歡Coleen Sexton那樣全心全意信賴Jekyll、並在得到希望後脫胎換骨的堅強。
前一陣子Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde有在台灣巡演,雖然很想在金曲推薦之餘也請大家去看看這齣音樂劇,但沒有衝現場的我無法細寫這齣改編自小說的音樂劇比原作更加飽滿的和更加不合理的地方,所以不敢拿出手;現在找到一篇上萬字的觀後感,如果看倌對此有興趣,請按此:
I peer through windows,
Watch life go by,
Dream of tomorrow,
And wonder 'why'?
The past is holding me,
Keeping life at bay,
I wander lost in yesterday,
Wanting to fly -
But scared to try.
我凝視著窗外
各色人等來來去去
偶爾夢著未來
不知怎地我會走到如此田地?
過去的經歷束縛著我
讓我的生命困於絕境
所以我就此迷失
我想翱翔天際──
卻不曾敢於嘗試
But if someone like you
Found someone like me,
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same!
My heart would take wing,
And I'd feel so alive -
If someone like you
Found me!
但如果有人如你
找到了迷失的我
剎那間
一切情形都完全不同了!
我的心就像長出了翅膀
而我從未如此活過──
如果你
找到了我
So many secrets
I've longed to share!
All I have needed
Is someone there,
To help me see a world
I've never seen before -
A love to open every door,
To set me free,
So I can soar!
有許多秘密
我渴望找人傾訴
我只是希望有人在我身邊
讓我能看看我未曾看過的世界──
有了愛就能暢行無阻
有了愛就能自由翱翔
If someone like you
Found someone like me,
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same!
There'd be a new way to live,
A new life to love,
If someone like you
Found me!
如果有人如你
找到了迷失的我
剎那間
一切情形都完全不同了!
將會有新的生活方式
讓我熱愛的生活方式
如果你
找到了我
Oh, if someone like you
Found someone like me,
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same!
My heart would take wing,
And I'd feel so alive -
If someone like you
Loved me...
Loved me...
Loved me!...
如果有人如你
找到了迷失的我
剎那間
一切情形都完全不同了!
我的心就像長出了翅膀
而我從未如此活過──
如果你
能愛我......
愛我......
愛我......
