Marry Me A Little - Company

為了避免這個部落格乾枯，決定偷吃步一下。儘量多PO些自己喜歡的音樂劇相關影片上來。

老實說，我還滿愛逛youtube的，尤其是音樂劇板上經常有喜歡音樂劇的前輩把精彩的影片轉錄，加上youtube會把相關的影片都放在旁邊，經常讓我ㄧ逛就一兩個小時....

今天的這段是 Raúl Esparza 在新版 company 的演出，這首歌也是新版才加入的，(應該)是從Stephen Sondheim的另一個同名音樂劇拿來這齣戲用。

新版的company演出方式是演員兼樂團的形式，這個導演很喜歡這樣，連續把Stephen Sondheim的sweeny todd跟compeny都拿來這樣玩，也都獲得不錯的評價，很有趣也很考驗演員的演出功力吧!?

新版的company在美國已經發行DVD了，誠心希望台灣有代理商引進，花大錢買沒字幕的，對我這種菜英文的人來說很傷(而且youtube上已經有了...>.<)

我很喜歡這首歌，從表演、歌詞到旋律都很棒。

跟我一樣英文不好，請參考歌詞如下：

Marry me a little,
Love me just enough.
Cry, but not too often,
Play, but not too rough.
Keep a tender distance
so we'll both be free.
That's the way it ought to be.
I'm ready!
Marry me a little,
Do it with a will.
Make a few demands
I'm able to fulfill.
Want me more than others,
Not exclusively.
That's the way it ought to be.
I'm ready!
I'm ready now!

You can be my best friend,
I can be your right arm.
We'll go through a fight or two--
No harm, no harm.
We'll look not too deep,
We'll go not too far.
We won't have to give up a thing,
We'll stay who we are.
Right?
Okay, then.
I'm ready!
I'm ready now!

Someone--
Marry me a little,
Love me just enough.
Warm and sweet and easy,
Just the simple stuff.
Keep a tender distance
So we'll both be free.
That's the way it ought to be.
I'm ready!

Marry me a little,
Body, heart, and soul.
Passionate as hell
But always in control.
Want me first and foremost,
Keep me company.
That's the way it ought to be.
I'm ready!
I'm ready now!

Oh, how gently we'll talk,
Oh, how softly we'll tread.
All the stings,
The ugly things
We'll keep unsaid.
We'll build a cocoon
Of love and respect.
You promise whatever you like,
I'll never collect.
Right?
Okay, then.
I'm ready.
I'm ready now.
Someone--

I'm ready!
