Tango Ballad

Weill/Brecht,  Arr. Talbot

There was a time now very far away
When we set up together I and she
I got the brain and she supplied the breast
I saw her right and she looked after me
A way of life then if not quite the best

*And when a client came I'd slide out of our bed
And treat him and go and have a drink instead
And when he paid up I'd address him "sir
Come any night you feel you fancy her"

**That time's long past but what would I not give
To see that whore house where we used to live

That was the time now very far away
He was so sweet and bashed me where it hurt
And when the cash ran out the feathers really flew
He'd up and say I'm going to pawn your skirt
A skirt is nicer but no skirt will do

Just like his cheek he had me fairly stewing
I'd asked him straight to say what he thought he was doing
Then he'd lash out and knock me headlong down the stairs
I had the bruises off and on for years

Repeat**

That was the time now very far away
Not that the bloody times seem to have looked up
When afternoons were all I had for you
I tod you she was generally booked up
The night's more normal in the day time will do

Repeat*

Repeat**

    出自魏尔名作《三分钱歌剧》的Tango Ballad，在这里被Ute Lemper和Neil Hannon演绎得更加谐谑。虽然我对Neil的声音并不十分满意，但整体来看还是说的过去的。至于Ute Lemper，这个女人的声线真叫妖冶啊~哈哈哈。其实说妖冶并非很确切，因为她咬字相当的硬，颇有点咬牙切齿的味道--和她的德国出身大概脱不开干系--即便如此却仍旧撩人心扉。相比之下，Neil的声音总让人觉得有些单薄，发声也不如她轻松自如，不过......我很喜欢他在第一段歌词中breast的发音--那个"r"的小舌音简直太sexy了--I fall for it>.<
    这首歌同整出歌剧的氛围是一致的，我寻思着这也算是黑色幽默吧。看看歌词————一对夫妻，一个是妓女一个是皮条客，心满意足地在一起回忆过去的生活。想象一下这个场景，令人忍俊不禁。Ute Lemper这几段的唱词更是将这描绘得淋漓尽致，大爱！！！
