十七位 valjeans 夠不夠？

十七位 valjeans 夠不夠？

上周的音樂劇 Les Miserables 太震撼了。過了一周，
腦裡面還是這曲子。

問題是，這音樂好在何處？

是好在於：一種對於美好人性的響往。雨果己經為我
們塑造了一個最理想的形象。這一位 valjeans ，
給了我們無限的啟發。作一個人，就是要作一個這樣
的人。

這戲，結末處的一曲，由十七位 世界各地的歌手
一人一句地，同唱出這曲，甚是感人。平常的合唱，
是眾人同唱，或和唱，沒有這種力量。他們代表了
世界上大部份地方的人，大多數的人。每人一句，
那種力量就出來了。

遺憾是未見中國人參與其中。更遺憾是未見黑人，或
阿拉伯人，以色列人參與其中。

時代發展得太快。時代己經要轉了。但地球上，起
來的人，仍是只有這麼多。從戲份看，十七位
valjeans 好像是很多。其實是遠不夠呢。

還要加上你和我，就差不多了。









The Epilogue(Finale)

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slave again!
When the beating of your heart
Echos the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade is there
A world you long to see?
Then join in the fight that will
Give you the right to be free!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of the drums
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live

Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!

When the beating of the drums
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
