2. 洁里珂歌唱给洁里珂猫

JELLICLE SONGS FOR JELLICLE CATS

演唱:全体

舞蹈:全体

剧情:

午夜的破烂场,猫儿轻巧而

缓慢地一只接一只从隐蔽的

地方钻出来。

今夜是一个特殊的夜晚,因

为一年里,只有今夜,猫儿

们聚集在破烂场里,庆祝只

属于洁里珂的荣耀。

在这一场,每一只猫都有机会出场亮像。他们的歌声讲述了洁里珂猫的

轻巧体态和独特性情,而他们的舞蹈节奏明快,动作流畅,与欢快的歌

声相合。在这一场里,应该是所有的演员一起上场的,就连后面才要介

绍的格瑞泽、老德特等有特色的猫,在这一场也穿着普通猫的戏装上场

歌词:

Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark?

Dare you look at a king? Would you sit on his throne?

Can you say of your bite that it's worse than your bark?

Are you cock of the wall when you're walking alone?

Because Jellicles are and Jellicles do

Jellicles do and Jellicles would

Jellicles would and Jellicles can

Jellicles can and Jellicles do

When you fall on your head, do you land on your feet?

Are you tense when you sense there's a storm in the air?

Can you find your way blind when you're lost in the street?

Do you know how to go to the Heaviside Layer?

Because Jellicles can and Jellicles do

Jellicles do and Jellicles can

Jellicles can and Jellicles do

Jellicles do and Jellicles can

Jellicles can and Jellicles do

Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant?

Familiar with candle, with book and with bell?

Were you Whittington's friend? The Pied Piper's assistant?

Have you been an alumnus of heaven and hell?

Are you mean like a minx? Are you lean like a lynx?

Are you keen to be seen when you're smelling a rat?

Were you there when the pharaohs commissioned the Sphinx?

If you were, and you are, you're a Jellicle cat

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

We can dive through the air like a flying trapeze

We can turn double somersaults, bounce on a tire

We can run up the wall, we can swing through the trees

We can balance on bars, we can walk on a wire

Jellicles can and Jellicles do

Jellicles can and Jellicles do

Jellicles can and Jellicles do

Jellicles can and Jellicles do

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Can you sing at the same time in more than one key

Duets by Rossini and waltzes by Strauss

And can you (as cats do) begin with a C

That always triumphantly brings down the house?

Jellicle cats are queen of the nights

Singing at astronomical heights

Handling pieces from the messiah

Hallelujah, angelical choir

The mystical divinity of unashamed felinity

Round the cathedral rang "Vivat!"

Life to the everlasting cat!

Feline, fearless, faithful and true

To others who do-what

Jellicles do and Jellicles can

Jellicles can and Jellicles do

Jellicle cats sing Jellicle chants

Jellicles old and Jellicles new

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Practical cats, dramatical cats

Pragmatical cats, fanatical cats

Oratorical cats, delphioracle cats

Skeptical cats, dispeptical cats

Romantical cats, pedantical cats

Critical cats, parasitical cats

Allegorical cats, metaphorical cats

Statistical cats and mystical cats

Political cats, hypocritical cats

Clerical cats, hysterical cats

Cynical cats, rabbinical cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats

3. 猫的命名

THE NAMING OF CATS

演唱:全体

舞蹈:全体

剧情:

因为陌生人(观众)出现在猫儿们的天地,

舞蹈后的猫儿们对陌生者心存怀疑,但是很

快他们就接纳了陌生者的出现,并且为他们

解释猫的命名。

所有的猫都有三个名字,第一个名

字是普通名字,是给家人在平日里

叫的;第二个名字是有尊严的名字

,是要让每一只猫觉得骄傲的独特

名字,而且每只猫的名字都不相同

。而第三个名字,是秘密的名字,

猫儿是永远不会告诉他类动物的。

如果你看到一只猫在下午的太阳里

暝想,那么有可能,他就是在思索

他的神秘名字。

这一首歌和别的歌不同,它是由所

有的猫念诗一样念出来的。在迷离

的伴奏音乐下,猫的言语快速而有

韵律。

歌词:

Solo:

There's a man over there with a look of surprise

As much as to say well now, how about that?

Munkustrap:

Do I actually see with my own very eyes

A man who's not heard of a Jellicle cat?

What's a Jellicle cat?

All:

What's a Jellicle cat?

All:

The naming of cats is a difficult matter,

It isn't just one of your holiday games

You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter

When I tell you a cat must have three different names

First of all, there's the name that the family use daily

Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,

Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey--

All of them sensible, everyday names

There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter

Some for the gentlemen, some for the

4. 洁里珂舞会的邀请

THE INVITATION TO THE JELLICLE BALL

演唱:迷斯特,蒙克斯

舞蹈:迷斯特,维多利亚

剧情:

洁里珂猫对同类发出的邀请,由迷斯特略带

童音的动情呼唤开场。然后,蒙克斯向其他

的猫,尤其是还没有参加过洁里珂舞会的小

猫解释了舞会的意义:在今晚月亮最圆的安

静时刻,猫群的首领老德特将会出现,只有

他有权利选出一只能够获得重生的猫。

接下来,纯白的幼猫维多利亚有一段独舞,象徵著舞会的正式开始。

这一场的音乐安静甜美,维多

利亚的独舞更是灵活美妙,技

术高超。再有的一点就是,这

一场标志着《猫》的起始部份

的结束。许多特殊的猫也从场

上下去,直到介绍到他们时才

上来。

歌词:

Mistoffelees:

Jellicle cats come out tonight

Jellicle cats come one come all

The Jellicle moon is shining bright

Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball

Jellicle cats come out tonight

Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball

All:

Jellicle cats come out tonight

Jellicle cats come one come all

The Jellicle moon is shining bright

Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball

Jellicle cats come out tonight

Jellicle cats come one come all

The Jellicle moon is shining bright

Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball

Munkustrap:

Jellicle cats meet once a year

At the Jellicle Ball where we all rejoice

And the Jellicle Leader will soon appear

And make what is known as the Jellicle Choice

When Old Deuteronomy just before dawn

Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife

Announces the cat who can now be reborn

And come back to a different Jellicle Life

For waiting up there is the Heaviside Layer

With wonders one Jellicle only will see

Jellicles ask because Jellices dare

Who will it be?

5. 老甘比猫

THE OLD GUMBIE CAT

演唱:蒙克斯,邦姆博,蒂米特,詹丽

舞蹈:蒙克斯,詹妮,詹丽,邦姆博,蒂米特

剧情:

所有的猫儿都想被他们的首领

选中,从而获得重生。这一首

歌,是蒙克斯的推荐

老甘比猫其实是詹妮的别称,她被称

为甘比猫是因为她整天坐着坐着坐

着坐着,这就是一只甘比猫。这大

约也是甘比(又一个在字典上查不到

的词)的含义。

但是老甘比猫并不是总这样懒的。白天里她什么也不干,但是到了晚上

,她就会充满活力,在房子里四下走动。她教导没有教养的老鼠们

音乐和编织,希望这能使他们有文化一点。她也很为没有事做的蟑螂们

担心,所以她总要让他们忙得透不过气来,甚至调教出一队蟑螂的军事

演习来。詹妮也很关系小猫的生活,好像是猫群的妈妈一样。大家都很

喜欢她,高兴地为她伴舞。

这一首歌有好几个段落,前一段由蒙克斯演唱,十分悠扬。(这首歌的

头两句,如果你仔细听,会觉得和香港的BEYOND的一首歌大地

很像。尤其大地里的眼前不是我熟悉的双眼,陌生的感觉一点

一句--记忆中的歌词,如哪位看官知道确切歌词,请告诉我。)

接下来詹妮在夜晚工作的一段,音乐转成明快的爵士乐,由三个女高音

:詹丽,邦姆博和蒂米特演唱。最后是一段由大家都上场的爵士舞。

歌词:

Munkustrap:

I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots

Her coat is of the tabby kind with tiger stripes and leopard spots

All day she sits beneath the stairs or on the steps or on the mat

She sits and sits and sits and sits and that's what makes a Gumbie Cat

That's what makes a Gumbie Cat

Jellylorum, Bombalurina, Demeter:

But

When the day's hustle and bustle is done

Then the Gumbie Cat's work is but hardly begun

And when all the family's in bed and asleep

She tucks up her skirts to the basement to creep

She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice

Their behavior's not good and their manners not nice

And when she has got them lined up on the matting

She teaches them music, crocheting and tatting

Munkustrap:

I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots

The curtain cord she likes to wind and tie it into sailor knots

She sits upon the windowsill, or anything that's smooth and flat

She sits and sits and sits and sits and that's what makes a Gumbie Cat

That's what makes a Gumbie Cat

Jellylorum, Bombalurina, Demeter:

But

When the day's hustle and bustle is done

Then the Gumbie Cat's work is but hardly begun

She thinks that the cockroaches need employment

To protect them from idle and wanton destroyment

So she's formed from that lot of disorderly louts

A troop of well disciplined helpful boy scouts

With a purpose in life and a good deed to do

And she's even created a Beetles Tattoo!

All:

For she's a jolly good fellow!

Jennyanydots:

Thank you my dears

6. 蓝汤姆塔阁

THE RUM TUM TUGGER

演唱:塔阁

舞蹈:塔阁

剧情:

老甘比猫詹妮的音乐刚到尾声,就被

下一只猫,塔阁的入场打断了。塔阁

被称为好奇的猫。但是也许他更应该

被叫做受宠的猫。他的人类家庭对他

百依百顺,养成了他骄傲自大,喜欢

惹人注意,又十分挑剔的习惯。在他

的歌里,他告诉大家他只喜欢没有的

东西,到了手里就又不喜欢了:如果

你给他家鼠,他只想要田鼠;可要是

你给他田鼠,他又觉得家鼠的味道好

。他出了门就想回去,回到屋里又想

出去。他要求别人给他想要的东西,

可是人要是真的给了他,他又觉得还

是自己去找到得好。

塔阁是只相貌威风的公猫,他是唯一

颈边有鬃毛的猫,看上去好像雄狮一

样出众。他是猫中摇滚歌星般的人物

,十分受母猫们的喜爱,尤其是一群

小猫更喜欢围着他打转,为他的每句

歌词倾倒。

塔阁的歌,也如他的人一样,是快速的摇滚乐。塔阁的演员大多有轻微

的鼻音,因此听起来好听而且有一点讨人喜欢的蛮横霸道的神气。他的

舞蹈不多,一说是因为塔阁的鬃毛太重。他只是在所有人视线的中心任

意游走,挑逗追逐着他小母猫们。

歌词:

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

If you offer me pheasant I'd rather have grouse

If you put me in a house I would much prefer a flat

If you put me in a flat then I'd rather have a house

If you set me on a mouse then I'd only want a rat

If you set me on a rat then I'd rather chase a mouse

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

And there isn't any need for me to shout it

For he will do as he do do

And there's no doing anything about it

The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore

When you let me in, then I want to go out

I'm always on the wrong side of every door

As soon as I'm at home, then I'd like to get about

I like to lie in the bureau drawer

And I make such a fuss if I can't get out

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

And there isn't any need for you to doubt it

For he will do as he do do

And there's no doing anything about it

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast

My disobliging ways are a matter of habit

If you offer me fish then I always want a feast

When there isn't any fish then I won't eat rabbit

If you offer me cream then I sniff and sneer

But I only like what I find for myself

So you'll catch me in it right up to my ears

If you put it away on the larder shelf

The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing

The Rum Tum Tugger

Doesn't care for a cuddle

But I'll leap in your lap in the middle of your sewing

For there's nothing I enjoy like a horrible muddle

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

And there isn't any need for me to spout it

For he will do as he do do

And there's no doing anything abou-----t it!

7. 格瑞泽贝拉:华美的猫

GRIZABELLA: THE GLAMOUR CAT

演唱:格瑞泽,蒂米特,邦姆博

MIDI音乐

剧情:

塔阁的歌结束时,格瑞泽首次上场了。她的衣裳褴褛,神色疲惫。塔阁

对她威胁地直立起鬃毛,傲然地擦着她的身边下场。

几只小猫可怜格瑞泽的悲惨样子,想

凑过去安慰她,却被年纪大的猫们拉

开了。

蒂米特走上前,仿佛要抚摸

格瑞泽,可是在最后一刹那

失去了勇气,悲伤地逃开了

。格瑞泽哀怨地歌声责备挡

在她面前的蒙克斯。

蒂米特和邦姆博在一旁唱出了她的身份:原来她就是当年骄傲美丽的格

瑞泽贝拉,华美的猫。她在年轻的时候就离开了猫群去看外面的世界,

成为猫儿们不可饶恕的叛徒。现在她历尽艰辛,狼狈地回来时,猫儿们

仍然不肯原谅她。格瑞泽只好又哀伤地下场了。

歌词:

Grizabella:

Remark the cat who hesitates towards you

In the light of the door which opens on her like a grin

You see the border of her coat is torn and stained with sand

And you see the corner of her eye twist like a crooked pin

Demeter:

She haunted many a low resort near the grimy road of Tottenham Court

She flitted about the no man's land

From "The Rising Sun" to "The Friend at Hand"

And the postman sighed as he scratched his head

"You'd really had thought she ought to be dead"

And who would ever suppose that that was Grizabella the Glamour Cat

Bombalurina:

Grizabella the Glamour Cat, Grizabella the Glamour Cat

8. 巴斯特琼斯,城里的猫

BUSTOPHER JONES: THE CAT ABOUT TOWN

演唱:詹妮,巴斯特

剧情:

格瑞泽下场之后,场上的

气氛又欢快起来。詹妮开

始介绍她的好朋友,神气

的胖猫巴斯特。巴斯特是

所有猫群的骄傲,因为他

是猫里的绅士 ,不光有身

份,而且还吃遍了英国的

酒店和饭馆。

巴斯特坐下来给小猫们唱了一

段歌曲,又送给了詹妮一朵鲜

艳的红花。

这一场有一点过渡的性质,尤其为了冲淡格瑞泽上场时带来的沉重,歌

曲都十分轻松,但不见得会像其他的歌那样给人留下深刻印像。也基本

上没有舞蹈。巴斯特身穿黑白相间的礼服,用一只小汤匙作拐杖。后来

他用汤匙作高尔夫球棒打球,十分可爱。

歌词:

JennyAnyDots, Bombalurina, Jellylorum:

Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones

In fact, he's remarkably fat

He doesn't haunt pubs, he has eight or nine clubs

For he's the St. James's Street Cat

He's the cat we all greet as he walks down the street

In his coat of fastidious black

No common-place mousers have such well cut trousers

Or such an impeccable back

In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is

The name of this brummel of cats

And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to

By Bustopher Jones in white spats

In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is

The name of this brummel of cats

And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to

By Bustopher Jones in white spats

Bustopher Jones:

My visits are occasional to the Senior Educational

And it is against the rules

For any one cat to belong both to that

And the Joint Superior Schools

For a similar reason when game is in season

I'm found not at Fox's but Blimp's

I am frequently seen at the gay Stage and Screen

Which is famous for winkles and shrimps

In the season of venison I give my Benison

To the Pothunter's succulent bones

And just before noon's not a moment too soon

To drop in for a drink at the Drones

When I'm seen in a hurry there's probably curry

At the Siamese or at the Glutton

When I look full of gloom then I've lunched at the Tomb

On cabbage, rice pudding and mutton

Jellylorum:

In the whole of St. James's is the smartest of names

Is the name of this brummel of cats

And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to

By Bustopher Jones in white, Bustopher Jones in white

Bustopher Jones in white spats

So much in this way passes Bustopher's day

At one club or another he's found

It can be no surprise that under our eyes

He has grown unmistakably round

He's a twenty-five pounder or I am a bounder

And he's putting on weight everyday

But I'm so well preserved because I've observed

All my life a routine, and I'd say

I am still in the prime, I shall last out my time

That's the word from the stoutest of cats

It must and it shall be spring in Pall Mall

While Bustopher Jones wears white, Bustopher Jones wears white

Bustopher Jones wears white spats

9. 蒙哥杰瑞和丽普提泽

MUNGOJERRIE AND RUMPELTEAZER

演唱:迷斯特,蒙哥(百老汇版);蒙哥,丽普(录象带版)

舞蹈:蒙哥,丽普

剧情:

突然一声怪响,随之传来警号和红闪光灯。恶猫麦克的脸出现在舞台一

角,所有的猫在蒙克斯的保护下逃离的舞台,蒙克斯在四下里搜索一遍

之后也下场了。

两声咯咯的笑声,把蒙哥和丽普这两只小偷儿带到来场上。

蒙哥和丽普身上背着小包袱,大约是刚刚作案归来。在歌里他们告诉观

众,他们喜欢和人类开玩笑,不是乱拉抽屉,就是偷走主人宴客时客人

的珠宝。可是人们也拿他们没办法,他们甚至分不清究竟是哪一只猫做

的坏事,因为蒙哥和丽普长得一模一样。

蒙哥和丽普他们的动作灵敏,神态顽皮,大约还是刚刚成年的小猫。蒙

哥是个滑稽的男孩子,丽普则是个机灵的女孩。他们的歌舞节奏都很快

,很讨人喜爱。在他们的歌结束的时候,其他的猫一起冲上舞台,把他

们围住不让他们逃走。从此蒙歌和丽普就一直留在台上。猫群显然并不

因为他们是小偷就排挤他们。

还有一点就是,他们的歌常常是由不同的人演唱。据说只有录象带版的

《猫》里,蒙哥和丽普的歌才是有蒙哥和丽普本人演唱,其他的时候,

不是蒙克斯或迷斯特代唱,就是由蒙哥一个人唱两个人的歌。这也许和

他们要求高的舞蹈有关,在舞台上跳动作幅度大的舞蹈,很难一起发出

嘹亮的歌声。

歌词:

Demeter:

Macavity!

Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer/Mistoffelees:

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were a notorious couple of cats

As knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians

Tight-rope walkers and acrobats

They/We had an extensive reputation, they/we made their home in Victoria Grove

That was merely their/our center of operation for they/we were incurably given to rove

If the area window was found ajar and the basement looked like a field of war

If a tile or two came loose on the roof which presently ceased to be waterproof

If the drawers were pulled out from the bedroom chest

And you couldn't find one of your winter vests

Or after supper one of the girls suddenly missed her Woolworth pearls

Then the family would say, "It's that horrible cat!"

It was Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer

And most of the time they left it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had an unusual gift of the gab

They were highly efficient cat burglars as well and remarkably smart at a smash and grab

They made their home in Victoria Grove, they had no regular occupation

They were plausible fellows who liked to engage a friendly policeman in conversation

When the family assembled for Sunday dinner

Their minds made up that they wouldn't get thinner on

Argentine joint, potatoes and greens

Then the cook would appear from behind the scenes

And say in a voice that was broken with sorrow

"I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow

The joint has gone from the oven like that!

And the family would say, "It's that horrible cat!

It was Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer!"

And most of the time they left it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had a wonderful way of working together

And some of the time you would say it was luck and some of the time you would say it was weather

They'd/We go through the house like a hurricane and no sober person would take his oath

Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer? Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both?

And when you heard a dining room smash or up from the pantry there came a loud crash

Or down from the library came a loud ping

From a vase that was commonly said to be Ming

Then the family would say: Now which was which cat?

It was Mungoherrie and Rumpleteazer and there's nothing at all to be done about that!

10. 老德特然那米

OLD DEUTERONOMY

演唱:蒙克斯,塔阁

剧情

猫儿们再次重聚舞台,蒙克斯给

没有见过老德特的小猫们讲述这

位猫群首领的事迹

塔阁也在一半的时候加入,表

现出他对老德特的尊敬。(蒙

克斯对此表现得极其感动,好

像从来不敢奢望傲慢的塔阁也

尊敬老德特

这首歌是赞美老德特一生经历的歌,表明了老德特在猫群里的身份。但

除了强调老德特的寿命之长(老德特活了很久,他已经活了猫的九条

命--我忍不住想说,九十九条。),歌里并没有太多描述老德特业

绩的段落。反复唱段都是咏叹是,不,喔,啊!我想我看到了老德特

歌曲结束的时候老德特上场,所有的猫都冲上去拥抱住他,表现了

对老德特无比的尊敬和崇拜

这首歌由两位男高音合唱,他们的音质优美,歌曲悠扬,十分动听

歌词

Solo:

I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

All:

Well of all things can it be really

Yes, No, ho, hi, oh my eye!

My mind may be wandering but I confess

I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

Munkustrap:

Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time

He's a cat who has lived many lives in succession

He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme

A long while before Queen Victoria's accession

Rum Tum Tugger:

Old Deuteronomy's buried nine lives

And more I am tempted to say ninety-nine

And his numerous progeny prospers and thrives

And the village is proud of him in his decline

Munkustrap:

At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy

When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall

The oldest inhabitant croaks

Munkustrap, Rum Tum Tugger:

Well of all things can it be really

Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!

My mind may be wandering but I confess

I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

All:

Well of all things can it be really

Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!

My mind may be wandering but I confess

I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

Well of all things can it be really

Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!

My mind may be wandering but I confess

I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

Well of all things can it be really

Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!

Old Deuteronomy:

My legs may be tottery I must go slow

And be careful of Old Deuteronomy

11. 狗咬狗的可怕事件

THE AWE-FULL BATTLE OF THE PEKES AND THE

POLLICLES

演唱:蒙克斯

舞蹈:蒙克斯及众猫

剧情:

这是蒙克斯为老德特解闷而编写的一个歌剧。在老德特到来之后,所有

的猫穿上戏装(比如鞋盒装做狗头)扮演各种各样的狗。剧的情节很简

单,就是两只狗在街上相遇之后打起架来,结果所有听见叫声的狗都跑

来参战的故事。最后以威武的英雄蓝姆斯猫出现,吓走了打架的狗结束

。可麻烦的是,任凭认真的蒙克斯费尽心机,所有的猫不是搞错了台词

,站错了地方,就是错过了正确时机。于是这一场成了《猫》里的滑稽

剧,很多最逗笑的情景都是来自这一场。

这首歌的节奏十分快,歌词好像绕口令一样。蒙克斯想保证歌声嘹亮而

且吐字清晰,就要看演员的功力了。

歌词:

Munkustrap:

Of the awful battle

of the pekes and the pollicles

Together with some account

Of the participation of the pugs and the poms

And the intervention of the all great Rumpus Cat!!!

The pekes and the pollicles everyone knows

Are a proud and implacable passionate foes

It is always the same where ever one goes

And the Pugs and the Poms although most people say

That they did not like fighting will once in a way

Show every symptom of wanting to join in the fray

And they

All:

Bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark

Munkustrap:

Until you could hear them all over the park

Now on the occassion of which I shall speak

Almost nothing had happened for nearly a week

And that's long time for a Pol or a Peke

The big police dog was away from his beat

I don't know the reason but some people think

He slipped into the *Wellington's Arms for a drink

And no one at all was about on the street

When a Peke and a Pollicle happened to meet

They did not advance or exactly retreat

But they glared at each other and scraped their hind feet

And they started to

All:

Bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark

Munkustrap:

Until you could hear them all over the park

Now the Peke although people may say what they please

Is no british dog but Heathen Chinese

And so all the Pekes when they heard the uproar

Some came to the window, some came to the door

And together they started to grumble and wheeze

In their huffery-snuffery Heathen Chinese

But a terrible din is what Pollicles like

For your Pollicle dog is a dour Yorkshire tyke

Male Cats:

There are dogs out of every nation the Irish, the Welsh and the Dane:

The Russian, the Dutch, the Dalmatian,

and even from China and Spain.

The Poodle, the Pom, the Alsatian

And the Mastiff who walks on a chain.

Munkustrap:

And to those that are frisky and frolical,

Let my meaning be perfectly plain:

Male Cats:

That my name it is little Tom Pollicle,

and you'd better not do it again!"

Munkustrap:

And his braw Scottish cousins are snappers and biters

And every dog-jack of them notable fighters

And so they stepped out with their pipers in order

Playing "When the Blue Bonnets Come Over The Border"

And the Pugs and the Poms held no longer aloof

But some from the balcony some from the roof

Joined into the din with a

All:

Bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark

Munkustrap:

Until you could hear them all over the park

All:

Huffery snuffery huffery snuff!

Munkustrap:

Until you could hear them all over the park

All:

BARK BARK BARK BARK

Munkustrap:

NO!!!!

(Silence)

When these bold hereos together assembled

The traffic all stopped

And the Underground trembled

And some of the neightbors were so much afraid

That they started to ring up the Fire Brigade

When suddenly up from a small basement flat

Why who should stalk out but the Great Rumpus Cat!!!!

His eyes were like fireballs fearfully blazing

He gave a great yawn and his jaws were amazing

And when he looked out through the bars of the area

You never saw anything fiercer.......Or hairier

And what with a glare of his eyes and his yawning

The Pekes and the Pollicles quickly took warning

He looked to the sky and he gave a great leap

And every last one of them scattered like sheep!

And when the Police dog returned to his beat

There wasn't a single one left on the street!

All:

All hail and all bow to the Great Rumpus Cat!!!!

12. 洁里珂之歌

THE SONG OF JELLICLES

演唱:众猫

舞蹈:众猫

剧情:

忽然恶猫麦克再次出现,所有的猫儿

纷纷躲在角落里。蒙克斯保护在老德

特前面,警惕地留在场中心。幸好麦

克只是在场边现一下身就消失了。

几只小猫在老德特

的安抚下开始重新

歌唱,由此带动了

所有的猫儿再度集

合表演的舞会。

歌曲重复了洁利珂舞会的

邀请的一段。这一场舞蹈

则包括了维多利亚和其他几

只公猫(迷斯特,阿蓝奥兹

,和没有上火车上的猫

妆的斯格姆)的双人舞。可

以想见,舞会已达到高潮。

歌词:

Demeter:

Old Deuteronomy:

Jellicle cats come out tonight

Jellicle cats come one, come all

The Jellicle Moon is shining bright

Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball

Solo:

Jellicle cats are black and white

Jellicle cats are rather small

Jellicle cats are merry and bright

And pleasant to hear when we caterwaul

Jellicle cats have cheerful faces

Jellicle cats have bright black eyes

We like to practice our airs and graces

And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise

Jellicle cats develop slowly

Jellicle cats are not too big

Jellicle cats are roly poly

We know how to dance a gavotte and a jig

Until the Jellicle Moon appears

We make our toilette and take our repose

Jellicles wash behind their ears

Jellicles dry between their toes

Jellicle cats are white and black

Jellicle cats are of moderate size

Jellicles jump like a jumping jack

Jellicle cats have moonlit eyes

We're quiet enough in the morning hours

We're quiet enough in the afternoon

Reserving our terpsichorean powers

To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon

Jellicle cats are black and white

Jellicle cats (as we said) are small

If it happens to be a stormy night

We will pracitce a caper or two in the hall

If it happens the sun is shining bright

You would say we had nothing to do at all

We are resting and saving ourselves to be right

For the Jellicle Moon and the Jellicle Ball

All:

Jellicle cats come out tonight

Jellicle cats come one, come all

The Jellicle Moon is shining bright

Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball

13. 格瑞泽贝拉

GRIZABELLA

演唱:格瑞泽

剧情:

格瑞泽第二次上场,所有的猫依然拒绝接

纳她,格瑞泽被孤伶伶地留在舞台中心。

格瑞泽努力地想重现当年的美丽时光,但是她已经年老体弱,永远不

能再像从前那样轻盈的舞蹈了。这时,她唱出了《猫》剧的名曲

。老德特在舞台的背景里,听了她的歌声似乎很有感触。可是格

瑞泽没能看到他伸出的手,老德特哀伤地看着她黯然下场。

第一幕结束。

歌词:

Jellylorum:

You see the border of her coat is torn and stained with sand

Jemima:

And you see the corner of her eye twist like a crooked pin

Grizabella:

Midnight. Not a sound from the pavement

Has the moon lost her memory?

She is smiling alone

In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet

And the wind begins to moan

Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning

Someone mutters and the streetlamp gutters

And soon it will be morning

Memory. All alone in the moonlight

I can smile at the old days

I was beautiful then

I remember the time I knew what happiness was

Let the memory live again

14. 快乐时光

THE MOMENT OF HAPPINESS

演唱:老德特,吉米玛

剧情:

年老体弱的阁斯,被詹丽搀扶着来到舞

台上,其他的猫纷纷起身给他最好的座

位。

老德特提醒所有的猫儿,

快乐的本意不光是在现在

,还有值得怀念的过去时

光。

小猫吉美玛用清脆的歌声

唱出格瑞泽的记忆

旋律,她稚嫩的童音,道

出了《猫》剧的内涵

回忆牵引你,展开心扉,

如果你在那里发现了快乐

的意义,一个新的生命就

会在你面前展开。

猫儿们听了这些话,似乎有所触动。

歌词:

Old Deuteronomy:

The moments of happiness

We had the experience but missed the meaning

And approach to the meaning restores the experience

In a different form beyond any meaning we can assign to happiness

The past experience revived in the meaning

Is not the experience of one life only

But of many generations

Not forgetting something that is probably quite ineffable

Jemima:

Moonlight. Turn your face to the moonlight

Let your memory lead you

Open up enter in

If you find there the meaning of what happiness is

Then a new life will begin

15. 格斯:剧院的猫

GUS: THE THEATRE CAT

演唱:詹丽,格斯

剧情:

格斯一直由詹丽照顾,因此也由

詹丽向大家介绍他这只戏院里的

猫。

别看现在的格斯又老又瘦,而且因

为生病爪子也止不住的颤抖。可是

格斯在年轻的时候,可是戏院里鼎

鼎大名的演员。他曾经扮演过数不

胜数的优秀角色,甚至有一次谢幕

七次之多。老格斯也自豪地诉说当

年他精湛的演技,而且还有更重要

的,现在的小猫们所没有的,认真

踏实的态度。

现在的小猫们,可不

像我们当年受过那么严

格的训练。他们只会耍

些小聪明,还以为蹦蹦

跳跳就能当好演员。

这些现代戏么,也都

不错,可是,不能和我

们当年相比。

--格斯要是会说中文

,一定就会说出真是

一代不如一代的话啦。

老格斯回忆着自己当年演过的角色,他明白那

些辉煌时光再不回来,十分哀伤。

歌词:

Jellylorum:

Gus is the cat at the theatre door

His name as I ought to have told you before

Is really Asparagus, and that's such a fuss to pronounce

That we usually call him just Gus

His coat's very shabby, he's thin as a rake

And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake

Yet he was in his youth quite the smartest of cats

But no longer a terror to mice or to rats

For he isn't the cat that he was in his prime

Though his name was quite famous, he says, in his time

And whenever he joins his friends at their club

(Which takes place at the back of the neighboring pub)

He loves to regale them, if someone else pays

With anecdotes drawn from his palmiest days

For he once was a star of the highest degree

He has acted with Irving, he's acted with Tree

And he likes to relate his success on the halls

Where the gallery once gave him seven cat calls

But his greatest creation as he loves to tell

Is Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell

Gus:

I have played in my time every possible part

And I used to know seventy speeches by heart

I'd extemporize backchat, I knew how to gag

And I knew how to let the cat out of the bag

I knew how to act with my back and my tail

With an hour of rehearsal, I never could fail

I'd a voice that would soften the hardest of hearts

Whether I took the lead, or in character parts

I have sat by the bedside of poor little Nell

When the curfew was rung then I swung on the bell

In the pantomime season I never fell flat

And I once understudied Dick Whittington's cat

But my greatest creation, as history will tell

Was Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell

Jellylorum:

Then, if someone will give him a toothful of gin

He will tell how he once played a part in East Lynne

At a Shakespeare performance he once walked on pat

When some actor suggested the need for a cat

Gus:

And I say now these kittens, they do not get trained

As we did in the days when Victoria reigned

They never get drilled in a regular troupe

And they think they are smart just to jump through a hoop

Jellylorum:

And he says as he scratches himself with his claws

Well the theatre is certainly not what it was

These modern productions are all very well

But there's nothing to equal, from what I hear tell

That moment of mystery when I made history

As Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell

Gus:

I once crossed the stage on a telephone wire

To rescue a child when a house was on fire

And I think that I still can much better than most

Produce blood curdling noises to bring on the ghost

And I once played Growltiger

Could do it again, could do it again

Could do it again

16. 格若泰格的最后一战

GROWLTIGER LAST STAND

演唱:格斯(格若泰格)及众猫

舞蹈:格斯(格若泰格)及众猫

剧情:

这一首歌的场面很大,是《猫》全剧唯一的一次场景改换(由破烂堆转为

荡漾碧波中的船只和小岛)。这其实是老演员格斯一段关于当年演出的回

忆。很可惜这首歌,及后面的比利·麦库尔的叙事诗都没有被《猫》的录

象带收录。

格若泰格的最后一战,讲的是海盗格若

泰格,在海上危害四方,罪大恶极。

可是一天他见到美丽的母猫格瑞德波,

受其迷惑,竟没能看到猫群的追杀,终

于在最后一战之中落水而亡。

在这一段里,格斯扮演格若泰格。(据说在舞台上,格斯在唱完格斯:

剧院的猫之后,突然挥去身上残旧破烂的老皮,摇身变成英武雄壮的大

海盗格若泰格。)詹丽身着白衣扮演格瑞德波。其他几只公猫(通常是蒙

克斯,斯格姆,塔阁,迷斯特和阿兰兹奥)先是扮演被格若泰格袭击的商

船船员,后来扮演冲上来杀害格若泰格的一群狸猫。

虽然听来也许像是个坏人罪有应得的故事,可是由于格若泰格与格瑞德波

对唱情歌真挚动人,而后在格若泰格被人围功的时候格瑞德波却偷偷溜掉

,格若泰格反而变成了让人怜悯的悲剧英雄。

17. 比利·麦库尔的叙事诗

THE BALLAD OF BILLY CAW

演唱:格斯(格若泰格)及众猫

舞蹈:格斯(格若泰格)及众猫

剧情:

这首歌和前一首歌加在一起有两种唱法。一种是只唱前一首,但是篇幅

很长;一种是两首都唱,但篇幅都有删节。因此下面的歌词,事实上是

两首放在一起的。

18. 斯格宝杉克斯:火车上的猫

SKIMBLESHANKS:THE RAILWAY CAT

演唱:斯格姆

舞蹈:斯格姆及众猫

剧情:

火车上的猫斯格姆即使与

老德特没有血缘关系,他

也无疑被猫儿们看作最可

爱的叔叔。他的到来,使

场上充满了快乐的气氛,

所有的猫儿为他唱歌伴舞

,和谐欢快的场面只有詹

妮的歌老甘比猫可以

媲美。

斯格宝是一只在火车上举足轻重

的猫。如果没有他细心周密的监

督,整个火车就无法顺利运行。

斯格宝照顾着旅客、行李、车厢

,甚至连车上的工人和列车长也

得听他调度。在半夜里他也不会

闲下来,而是在火车上下巡逻视

察,因为有责任心的斯格宝从不

让事情出一点差错。

猫群里的大猫小猫对劳苦功高的斯格宝

十分尊敬。他们用雨伞,埽笊,自行车

轮和探照灯为斯格宝装配了一辆火车,

在这首歌结束的时候,大家把他像英雄

一样高举起来。

这一段的舞蹈虽然不多,但是场上的活

动纷繁多样,带了一点儿童剧式的灵活

多变的色彩。而且这首歌的节奏十分明

快,曲调流畅,是剧中较有名的曲目之

一。

歌词:

All:

Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat the cat of the railway train

There's a whisper down the line at eleven thirty-nine

When the night mail's ready to depart

Saying, "Skimble, where is Skimble has he gone to hunt the thimble

We must find him or the train can't start"

Skimbleshanks:

All the guards and all the porters and the station master's daughters

Would be searching high and low

Saying "Skimble where is Skimble for unless he's very nimble

Then the night mail just can't go.

At eleven forty-two with the signal overdue

And the passengers all frantic to a man

That's when I would appear and I'd saunter to the rear

I'd been busy in the luggage van!

Then he gave one flash of his glass-green eyes

And the signal went all clear&

They'd be off at last for the northern part of the northern hemisphere!

All:

Skimbleshanks, the Railway Cat the cat of the railway train

Skimbleshanks:

You might say that by and large it was me who was in charge

Of the Sleeping Car Express

From the driver and the guards to the bagmen playing cards

I would supervise them all more or less

Down the corridor he paces and examines all the faces

Of the travellers in the first and the third

He established control by a regular patrol

and he'd know at once if anything occurred.

And he'd watch you without winking and he saw what you were thinking

And it's certain that he didn't approve

Of hilarity and riot so that folks were very quiet

When Skimble was about and on the move

You could play no pranks with Skimbleshanks

He's a cat that couldn't be ignored

So nothing went wrong on the Northern Mail

When Skimbleshanks was aboard

It was very pleasant when they'd found their little den

With their name written up on the door

And the berth was very neat with a newly folded sheet

And not a speck of dust upon the floor

There was every sort of light you could make it dark or bright

And a button you could turn to make a breeze

And a funny little basin you're supposed to wash your face in

And a crank to shut the window should you sneeze

Then the guard looked in politely and would ask you very brightly

Would you like your morning tea weak or strong?

But I was right behind him and was ready to remind him

For Skimble won't let anything go wrong

All:

When they crept into their cosy berth and pulled up the counterpane

They all could reflect that it was very nice

To know that they wouldn't be bothered by mice

They can leave all that to the railway cat

The cat of the railway train

Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat the cat of the railway train

Skimbleshanks:

In the watches of the night I was always fresh and bright

Every now and then I'd have a cup of tea

With perhaps a drop of scotch while I was keeping on the watch

Only stopping here and there to catch a flea

They were fast asleep at Crewe

And so they never knew that I was walking up and down the station

They were sleeping all the while I was busy at Carlisle

Where I met the station master with elation

They might see me at Dumfries if I summoned the police

If there was anything they ought to know about

When they got to Gallowgate there they did not have to wait

For Skimbleshanks would help them to get out

All:

And he gives a wave of his long brown tail

Which says "I'll see you again"

You will meet without fail on the midnight mail

The Cat of the Railway Train

You will meet without fail on the midnight mail

The Cat of the Railway Train

19. 麦克维题:神秘的猫

MACAVITY:THE MYSTERY CAT

演唱:蒂米特,邦姆博

舞蹈:蒂米特,邦姆博

剧情:

这一段的风格急转,由无忧无虑

的旋律直落成神秘阴暗,流利婉

转的爵士乐。许多故事的关键情

节也都发生在这一首歌里。

斯格宝的歌被麦克的到来打断。

这一次,麦克不再隐藏在幕后冷

笑,而是直接闯到场上,带领他

的老鼠爪牙截走了老德特。

全场的猫儿都被这突然的变化惊呆了。在蒙

克斯带领其他猫追赶麦克的时候,两只曾经

与麦克相识的母猫,蒂米特和邦姆博,向躲

在角落里的小猫们讲述麦克这一只神秘的罪

犯猫。

麦克人称隐藏的魔爪

因为他虽然罪大恶极,可是

从没有人抓住过他犯罪的证

据。他看起来总是半睡半醒

,无所事事的样子,其实那

只是他在深思熟虑时的伪装。

无论他做了什么坏事,比如

偷人家的牛奶,打碎暖房的

玻璃,麦克总能抓出一两个

证人证明他不在案发现场。

因此就连苏格兰场也没有他

的犯罪案底。

麦克自在地萧遥于法外,在

幕后操纵着无数恶行。蒂米

特和邦姆博愤怒的称他为

犯罪界的拿破伦

这一段里,两只母猫载歌载

舞,歌声亮丽浑厚,舞蹈柔

韧夭娆,是本剧的经典曲目。

蒙克斯和其他的猫儿没有找到老德特,失望的回来,不想几只老鼠忽然带着老

德特出现。他们解开老德特让他回到猫群之中。在所有的猫兴奋地拥抱老德特

的时候,蒂米特却连连退缩。只有她看出场上的老德特不是老德特本人。最后

,她终于冲上前去揭开老德特的灰皮,原来皮的下藏着的是大犯罪者麦克!

麦克被揭露了面目,放肆地

伸出利爪,在猫群里四下抓

咬,猖狂到极点。可是在他

又一次抓住蒂米特,想要截

持她的时候,蒙克斯和阿兰

兹奥冲上去救下了蒂米特。

然后,蒙克斯和麦克展开一场血淋

淋的大战。最后蒙克斯虽然失败,

但是被激怒的猫群勇敢地站起来,

团团围攻麦克。麦克敌不过这么多

猫,在受伤之后他抓过场边裸露的

电线,使电线造成短路,全场陷入

一片黑暗。麦克也称着黑暗逃跑了。

暗中,受伤的猫儿互相安慰。

歌词:

Demeter:

Macavity!

Macavity's a mystery cat: He's called the Hidden Paw

For he's a master criminal who can defy the law

He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair

For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity

He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity

His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare

And when you reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there

You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air

But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!

Bombalutina:

Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin

You would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in

His brow is deeply lined in thought, his head is highly domed

His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed

He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake

And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity

He is a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity

You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square

But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!

Demeter, Bombalutina:

He's outwardly respectable, I know he cheats at cards

And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's

And when the larder's looted or the jewel cases rifled

Or when the milk is missing or another Peke's been stifled

Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair

There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not there!

and they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known

I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone

Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time

Just controls the operations: The Napoleon of Crime!

Demeter, Bombalutina:

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity

He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity

You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square

But when a crime's discovered then Macavity, Macavity

Macavity, Macavity

When a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!

All:

We have to find Old Deuteronomy

20. 迷斯特弗里斯先生

MRMISTOFFELEES

演唱:塔阁,迷斯特(百老汇版);塔阁

舞蹈:迷斯特

剧情:

猫群在黑暗中惶恐不安,他们急需

要找回老德特,却又不知道该如何

找起。这时候,塔阁从躲避的地方

(他大概是唯一没有参战的成年猫

)走出来,向大家介绍了一只年轻

的猫:迷斯特弗里斯先生(迷斯特

)。

迷斯特是一只有魔力的猫,要说他的魔幻法术,就连

人类的魔术师也甘拜下风。他看起来小巧灵活,年轻

而且有些害羞,可是他的能力不能让人小看。他能穿

过最小的缝隙,也曾在帽子里变出七只小猫,他能使

人在空间里跳跃,大家明明在屋里刚看见他,转眼他

却在房顶上出现。

迷斯特在塔阁的歌声中从天而降。他用魔力引亮了场

上的灯,使破烂堆又现光明。

然后,他选卡珊德拉做助手,用一快红绸变

回了老德特。

所有的猫一起为老德特的归来和迷斯特的魔

力欢呼。小迷斯特自己也因为有机会为猫群

做大事而高兴得连蹦带跳。

这一首歌,在一些版本里是塔阁独唱,但也有一些版本里是塔阁和迷斯特合唱。但是

舞蹈只有剧团里最优秀的舞者--迷斯特独自承担。这首歌的曲调动听,重复的地方多

,因而会给人留下很深的印象。

歌词:

Rum Tum Tugger:

You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees!

The original Conjuring Cat

The greatest magicians have something to learn

From Mr. Mistoffelees conjuring turn

And you'll all say

Oh! Well I never was there ever

A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

He is quiet, he is small, he is black

From the ears to the tip of his tail

He can creep through the tiniest crack

He can walk on the narrowest rail

He can pick any card from a pack

He is equally cunning with dice

He is always decieving you into believing

That he's only hunting for mice

He can play any trick with a cork

Or a spoon and a bit of fish paste

If you look for a knife or a fork

And you think it was merely misplaced

You have seen it one moment and then it is gone!

But you find it next week laying out on the lawn

And we all say

Oh! Well I never was there ever

A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

All:

And we all say

Oh! Well I never was there ever

A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

And we all say

Oh! Well I never was there ever

A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

And we all say

Oh! Well I never was there ever

A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

Mistoffelees/Rum Tum Tugger:

Well! My manner is vague and aloof

You would think there was nobody shyer

But my voice has been heard on the roof

When I was curled up by the fire

And I've sometimes been heard by the fire

When I was about on the roof

At least they all heard that somebody purred

Which is uncontestable proof of my singular magical powers

And I've known the family to call me in from the garden for hours

When I was asleep in the hall

Rum Tum Tugger:

And not long ago this phenomenal cat

Produced seven kittens right out of a hat

And we all say

Oh! Well I never was there ever

A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

Oh! Well I never was there ever

A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

And not long ago this phenomenal cat

Produced seven kittens right out of a hat

And we all say

Oh! Well I never was there ever

A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

Oh! well I never was there ever

A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

Oh! Well I never was there ever

A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

Oh! Well I never was there ever

A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

Oh! Well I never was there ever

A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

Oh! Well I never was there ever

A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

21. 记忆

MEMORY

演唱:格瑞泽,吉美玛,蒙克斯

剧情:

天色渐渐发白,黎明在即。重新回

到猫群里的老德特就要在此刻选出

登上云外之路的幸运猫儿。忽然小

猫吉美玛站起,唱起了格瑞泽的歌。

歌声中格瑞泽再次上场,所有的猫不

愿接收她,但也不再敌对,他们分散

到场地四周,背对着格瑞泽。

格瑞泽悲伤的唱起记忆。记忆使

她回忆起当年的快乐时光,虽然那些

时光不再回来,但她的生命已因它们

而完整。

一只接一只的,场上的猫儿慢慢转过

身来面对格瑞泽。当善良的白猫维多

利亚再一次站起来触摸格瑞泽的时候

,年长的猫们非但没有阻拦,反而示

意她勇敢的上前。

在维多利亚的带领下,所有的

猫都走上前来,用伸出的双手

接纳了当年背叛过他们的同类

。经过了今晚的事件,他们已

经学会了欢乐与谅解的重要。

歌词:

Jemima:

Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower

And a rose that is fading

Roses whither away

Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn

I am waiting for the day

Munkustrap:

Now Old Deuteronomy just before dawn

Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife

Announces the cat who can now be reborn

And come back to a different Jellicle Life

Grizabella:

Memory, turn your face to the moonlight

Let your memory lead you

Open up, enter in

If you find there the meaning of what happiness is

Then a new life will begin

Memory, all alone in the moonlight

I can smile at the old days

I was beautiful then

I remember the time I knew what happiness was

Let the memory live again

Burnt out ends of smokey days

The stale cold smell of morning

The streetlamp dies, another night is over

Another day is dawning

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life

And I musn't give in

When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too

And a new day will begin

Sunlight, through the trees in summer

Endless masquerading

Like a flower as the dawn is breaking

The memory is fading

Touch me, it's so easy to leave me

All alone with the memory

Of my days in the sun

If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is

Look, a new day has begun

22. 踏上云外之路

THE JOURNEY TO THE HEAVYSIDE LAYER

演唱:众猫

剧情:

当蒙克斯把格瑞泽带到老德特面前的时候,老德

特欢迎了这终于归家的游子。他决定,格瑞泽就

是被送上云外之路的猫。

场中具有神奇魔力的轮胎在老德特的召唤下徐徐升起,所有的猫围聚在一起

,用歌声向轮胎上的格瑞泽道别。轮胎升上半空,金色的云彩降落,格瑞泽

在老德特的鼓励下走入了美丽的云彩之中。

这一首歌的篇幅很短,是尾声之前的过渡。

歌词:

All:

Up up up past the Russell Hotel

Up up up up to the Heaviside Layer

Up up up past the Russell Hotel

Up up up up to the Heaviside Layer

Up up up past the Russell Hotel

Up up up up to the Heaviside Layer

Up up up past the Russell Hotel

Up up up up to the Heaviside Layer

Up up up past the Jellicle Moon

Up up up up to the Heaviside Layer

Up up up past the Jellicle Moon

Up up up up to the Heaviside Layer

The mystical divinity of unashamed felinity

Round the cathedral rang "Vivat"

Life to the everlasting cat

23. 对猫儿的态度

THE ADDRESSING OF CATS

演唱:老德特

剧情:

全剧的最后的一首歌是老德特唱给场外听众的。他告诉大家,其实猫和

人类没什么不同。经过了这一晚精彩的演出,人类也看到了各种各样的

猫儿,也知道了他们的特点和喜好。所以,要是你想得到猫儿的尊敬,

就要首先尊重他们。

歌词:

Old Deuteronomy:

You've heard of several kinds of cat

And my opinion now is that

You should need no interpreter to understand our character

You've learned enough to take the view

That cats are very much like you

You've seen us both at work and play

And learnt about our proper names

Our habits and our habitat

But how would you ad-dress a cat

So first, your memory I'll jog

And say: A cat is not a dog

So first, your memory I'll jog

And say: A cat is not a dog

With cats, some say one rule is true

Don't speak til you are spoken to

Myself I do not hold with that

I say you should ad-dress a cat

But always bear in mind that he resents familiarity

You bow, and taking off your hat, ad-dress him in this form: "O cat"!

Before a cat will condescend

To treat you as a trusted friend

Some little token of esteem is needed, like a dish of cream

And you might now and then supply

Some caviar or strassburg pie

Some potted grouse or salmon paste

He's sure to have his personal taste

And so in time you reach your aim

And call him by his name

All:

A cat's entitled to expect

These evidences of respect

So this is this and that is that

And there's how you ad-dress a cat

A cat's entitled to expect these evidences of respect

So this is this, and that is that

And there's how you ad-dress a cat
