Send in the Clowns

這陣子忙
忙或許也不是什麼藉口
忙著論文
忙著處理自己的心情
忙著再開心起來
忙著想像陽光,雖然日光已經開始減少
又到了英國憂鬱的冬季

突然想起我最愛的這首歌
很黑色幽默的一首歌

======================================
[Send In The Clowns]

Isn’t it rich, aren’t we a pair
Me here at last on the ground - and you in mid-air
Send in the clowns

Isn’t it bliss, don’t you approve
One who keeps tearing around - and one who can’t move
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns

Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally finding the one that I wanted - was you
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines - no one is there

Don’t you love a farce; my fault I fear
I thought that you’d want what I want - sorry my dear
Where are the clowns
There ought to be clowns
Don’t bother they’re here

Isn’t it rich, isn’t it queer
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns
Well maybe next year



真是燦爛華麗啊,我們不是一對嗎?
我終於躺在地上,你還在空中漂蕩。
叫小丑進場吧。

真是奇妙的機緣啊,你不覺得嗎?
一個在空中飄蕩,一個躺在地上一動也不能動
小丑在哪裡?叫小丑進場

當我對愛情幾乎完全死心的時候
以為找到了我要的人,就是你
我還真是天賦異稟,立刻就神魂顛倒
當然我的劇情仍然一樣,衝了出去,永遠找不到人。

你不愛看鬧劇吧,恐怕這次真是我的錯。
親愛的,對不起,我還以為你要的東西,和我想要的一樣。
小丑在哪裡?
應該有小丑才對啊
叫小丑進場
何必去找?小丑,這裡就有。

真是富麗堂皇,真是怪異莫名啊。
這麼老江湖了,還會失手身亡。
小丑在哪裡?叫小丑進場
小丑可能要明年才會來。

===============================

小丑的目的,在於分散觀眾的注意力
也因此馬戲團有任何意外時候
常常會要小丑進場,開始娛樂大眾

這首歌在於描寫一對空中飛人
原本應該是絕佳默契的
卻還是出了差池

唱這首歌的是百老匯的一個女歌手
描寫情場不得意的黑色幽默

....

很多時候,不是所有事情都能夠盡如人意的
學著迎接
學著坦然
這就是人生吧 ~

很多版本都很好聽

I like this song~thanks for your introduction
This version--> http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_8C1Kw-hy58&feature=related
which sang by BARBRA STREISAND is my favorite.

There is slightly different from yours and following is the lyrics, and I like she put &quotdon`t bother, they`re here&quot be the last line.

Isn`t it rich, are we a pair
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn`t it bliss, don`t you approve
One who keeps tearing around
One who can`t move
Where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Just when I`d stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there
Don`t you love a farce,
My fault I fear,
I thought that you`d want what I want
Sorry my dear!
But where are the clowns
There ought to be clowns
Quick send in the clowns
What a surprise,
Who could foresee?
I`d come to feel about you
What you felt about me?
Why only now when I see
That you`ve drifted away?
What a surprise...
What a cliche...
Isn`t it rich, isn`t it queer
Losing my timing this late in my career
And where are the clowns
Quick send in the clowns
Don`t bother, they`re here

人生很少能盡如己意,繼續。祝福語問候

Dear Sabrina,

的確人生很少能盡如己意
來到這邊我更體認到這樣的事實
只是我想,如果能夠學會欣賞陰鬱
用另外一種幽默看待
也無非是一種生命的成長.

謝謝妳的關心~ 我覺得好溫暖!

這首歌很有卡通的幽默與不死得精神.
正如人生需要一些幽默.把無奈讓內心的小丑扮演.

版主回應
我最近也花了一些時間看了一些影片和表演
沉澱自己
對表演有另外一種全然不同的感受

人生其實很多無奈
然而戲仍得上演

前天去聽了韓德爾的彌賽亞
這鉅作是在他經濟最艱困的時候寫出來的
很多的無奈
然而這些無奈都得轉化昇華成為一種美麗

也開始對自己的人生有另外一種不同的看法
我想,是另一種幽默的定義吧 :)
