百老汇音乐剧歌曲“人生只是一碗樱桃”(2014年5月11日)

 

打开1999年百老汇音乐剧《福斯》(Fosse)的原声碟,第一首歌曲就是很熟悉的"人生只是一碗樱桃,不必太认真……" (Life is just a bowl of cherries)。记得1999年我参加美国访问学者项目,在百老汇看了《不得了》(Big Deal),里面也有这首歌,但是当时对音乐剧还不很了解。

今天找到歌词,读了有点意思,供大家参考。

Life is just a bowl of cherries
Don't take it serious,
Life's too mysterious
You work,
You save,
You worry so
But you can't take your dough
When you go, go, go

So keep repeating "It's the berries."
The strongest oak must fall
The sweet things in life
To you were just loaned
So how can you lose
What you've never owned

Life is just a bowl of cherries
So live and laugh, aha!
Laugh and love
Live and laugh,
Laugh and love,
Live and laugh at it all!

本人试译如下:

人生只是一碗樱桃
不必太认真,
人生太神秘
你辛劳,
您节俭,
你操心,
但生不带来
死不带走

所以,不断重复"就是这个果子。"
最强的橡树也会倒下
在生活中甜美的东西
你只是借用
所以你怎么会失去
你从未拥有过的东西

人生只是一碗樱桃
所以活得开心,啊哈!
笑和爱
活和笑,
笑和爱,
笑对人生!
