혼자 뿌듯했던 노래

노래가 안외워진다고 혼자 투덜댔던 이 노래

"CATS" 중에서 나오는 "MEMORY"

다 외워 혼자 부르면서 어찌나 뿌듯하던지.....

가수에 따라 가사가 약간씩 틀리기도 한다.

어쨌든 가사를 음미하면서 부를때 감동이 더해지는 노래다.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

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

Every streetlamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp splutters
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

(Music interlude)

Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A streetlamp dies; another night is over
Another day is dawning...

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.
