音乐剧《猫》的首次演出在1981年。它改编自T.S.Eliot(艾略特)的长诗<</SPAN>擅长装扮的老猫经〉>(Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats)。原诗几乎是原文全部搬过去成为歌词。由世界著名的英国音乐剧作曲家安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯(Andrew·Lloyd·Webber)谱曲。
《猫》中脍炙人口的歌曲《回忆》(Memory),在剧中由老猫格瑞泽贝拉演唱,当衣衫褴褛的她出场时,所有的猫咪都敬而远之、甚至落井下石。她以这首歌回忆昔日的风光,歌词中描写她虽然从一只出入上流社会的美丽猫咪,变成了连同类都不屑一顾的落魄老猫,但是她却能从中了解幸福的真谛。
《回忆》之所以能获得人们的热爱,并不仅仅在于旋律和歌词本身,而在于它还能够用一首歌诠释人生。记忆中或有兴奋,或有痛苦,或有感动,或有悲伤,或有喜悦,或有失望,或有清晰,或有模糊…,而最美好的记忆最使人难以忘怀。但愿能像艺术家捕捉灵感、音乐家捕捉记录天籁之声的音符、文学家捕捉美文那样从此定格,把曾有过的销魂蚀骨之喜的时分清晰地定格在记忆当中!而当茕茕孑立,形影相吊时,回忆会送上一丝温暖,一种力量。正当社会转型、人情淡漠的年代,只有动人的回忆之歌能淡化忧伤、痛苦,点燃心中的希望之火,重新对生活充满渴望。
《猫》首演时由伊莲•佩姬(Elaine Paige 1948——)担任主角老猫格瑞泽贝拉主题曲memory也是伊莲•佩姬的保留曲目。但犹太女孩芭芭拉•史翠珊(Barbra Streisand 1942——)演唱的memory似是更为动人难忘。下面录入歌词共同分享。
Midnigft
Not a sound from the pavement
Has moon lost her memory
She is smilling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect
And wind
Begins to moan
Memory
All lone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember
The time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory
Live again
Every street lamp
Seems to been a fatalistic warning
Some one mutters
And a streetlamp gutter
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Brunt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with my memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness
Look a new day
Has begun
