音乐剧[悲惨世界] 5 爱泼妮为爱献身

爱泼妮是郭赛特前养父的女儿。维克多雨果在这里开了一个玩笑：这位冷酷贪财的家伙竟然有位为崇高理想牺牲的孩子。爱泼妮深深地爱上了她邻居马里忧斯，她也痛苦地知道马里忧斯爱着郭赛特。于是她埋藏了自己的爱为他俩传递情书；于是她为了保护马里忧斯挡住射向他的子弹。

她满腔的爱换来的是：安然地躺在自己心爱的人的怀抱里，靠别这个世界。

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

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

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

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...

(She dies. Marius kisses her, then lays her on the ground)

为了能更深地了解爱泼妮为爱献身的动机，还是应该先听听她一段独白。请注意，那个爱的主题在一段挣扎求索中呈现出来
....
On 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

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 for ever 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

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

I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me his world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known!

I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own.

音乐剧[悲惨世界] 4 方婷弥留之中的托付+让瓦让的承诺

为了心爱的女儿的成长，方婷曾经卖掉了美丽闪亮的金发、整齐洁白的牙齿，后来又不得不卖身，乃至生命。在弥留之际他庆幸自己遇到了善良的“市长”冉瓦让。她把自己的最爱教托给他。
这首对唱还是重复使用本歌剧的两个主题：
1 陈述（很简短）
2 爱


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqDv4FHBw3A


[FANTINE, 陈述主题]
Cosette, it's turned so cold
Cosette, it's past your bedtime
You've played the day away
And soon it will be night.

[爱主题开始，贯穿全曲，由方婷冉瓦让分别唱出-同样的旋律，不同的内容象征着不同背景的两个人面对不同生活，但是爱是他们共同的基础]
Come to me, Cosette, the light is fading
Don't you see the evening star appearing?
Come to me, and rest against my shoulder
How fast the minutes fly away and every minute colder.

Hurry near, another day is dying
Don't you hear, the winter wind is crying?
There's a darkness which comes without a warning
But I will sing you lullabies and wake you in the morning.

[Valjean enters]

[VALJEAN]拉维警长的脚步声声逼近
Oh, Fantine, our time is running out
But Fantine, I swear this on my life

[FANTINE]
Look, M'sieur, where all the children play

[VALJEAN]
Be at peace, be at peace evermore.

这段对白太感人的：虽然拉维警长的脚步声声逼近，冉瓦让还是耐心地听着方婷。而且他所承诺的比方婷要求得更多！

[FANTINE]
My Cosette...

[VALJEAN]
Shall live in my protection

[FANTINE]
Take her now

[VALJEAN]
Your child will want for nothing

[FANTINE]
Good M'sieur, you come from God in Heaven.

[VALJEAN]
And none shall ever harm Cosette
As long as I am living.

[FANTINE]
Take my hand. The night grows ever colder.

[VALJEAN]
Then I will keep you warm.

[FANTINE]
Take my child. I give her to your keeping.

[VALJEAN]
Take shelter from the storm

[FANTINE]
For God's sake, please stay till I am sleeping
And tell Cosette I love her
And I'll see her when I wake...

[She dies with a smile. Javert arrives]

心仍停留在冬天

Spring has already arrived.

Summer is coming.

Do not let our hearts be detained in winter,

as well as our desires to serve the Lord,

who yearns to move our lives toward Him and the spring of life as well.

春天已臨，

夏日將至，

別讓我們的心停留在冬天，

以及我們那服事主的渴望；

因為主渴望引導我們親近祂，以及進入生命之春。

(Deut 11:14; Hosea 6:3; James 5:7)

大家加油!! 別氣餒!!

讓我們奔跑在春天之前...呵呵.....

每日珠玑之回声律（摘自神采飞扬网站）

回声律

你们愿意人怎样待你们，你们也要怎样待人。（太七12）

去找一个「千山鸟飞绝，万径人踪灭」的崇岭幽谷，把领带甩开，脱下球鞋，呼出从都市残余而来的污气，在山涧清溪洗洗你手上沾染的文明尘埃，光脚去爱抚软绒似的碧绿，再吸入山岚拂吹的清新，忘记「进度表」吧!把「生产力评估」抛到九霄云外吧!跟「截止日期」暂时再见吧!纵情深饮这甘醇的大自然礼赞，然后向它肆无忌惮的大喊：「我爱你!」

三秒后你会听见：「我爱你!」
六秒后你会再听见：「我爱你!」
余波不断荡漾……

如果你怒气填胸的狂叫：「我恨你！」
三秒后你会听见：「我恨你!」
六秒后你会再听见：「我恨你!」
余波不断荡漾……

这回声律在圣经中回响，不断的余波荡漾--
你们要慈悲像你们的父慈悲一样。
你们不要论断人，就不被论断。
你们不要定人的罪，就不被定罪。
你们要饶恕人，就必蒙饶恕。
你们要给人，就必有给你们的。
你们用什么量器量给人，也必用什么量器量给你们。(路六36-38)

妙哉深谷回声!
妙哉圣经回响!
妙哉镜子回照!
你向镜中人微笑，他也向你微笑。你向他呲牙裂嘴，他也老实不客气，向你呲牙裂嘴。你想在办公室碰见快乐的同事?从你作起吧!你想在家里有个体贴、温柔、恩慈的妻子?从丈夫开始吧!你想要儿女孝顺父母?你先孝顺自己的父母吧!

救主是光线反射律的制定者，也是声波反射律的维护者，他同时也是灵界回声律的执行者。祂的话力逾千斤--

你们愿意人怎样待你们，你们也要怎样待人。(路六31)

有个老师发了一张纸给班上学生，要他们在三十秒内，写下他们不喜欢的人。有的学生只想得起一个，有的竟然列出十四个。那老师定睛一看，发现了一个有趣的事实--那不喜欢的人最多者，也是最不被人喜欢者。

回声律!

有个三十多岁的少壮「雅痞」，专心致力于「钱途」的发展，觉得还要照顾高堂老父，心无余力。他和「雅痞」妻子想到一个好办法，把父亲送去老人院。

说好说歹，半哄半骗，终于赢得老人点头。父子俩相偕前往养老院，路经一僻径小道，老人请求下车在大树下石凳小憩。忽然老人悲从中来，嚎啕大哭一场。那儿子良心受责，不知所措。鼓勇问道：「爸爸，你为什么哭?」那老人涕泗纵横回曰：「三十年前我送我父亲去老人院，走的也是这条路，休息坐的也是这块石头。」

回声律!
