[The Phantom Of The Opera 歌劇魅影]
第二幕第七景 曲目---The Point Of No Return---
除了" The Music Of The Night "之外,
就是這首" The Point Of No Return "最催淚了!
記得去年在兩廳院看歌劇魅影時
劇情進行到這裡時, 我已經飆淚了!
這首是魅影強迫克莉絲汀演出他所作的歌劇" 唐璜 "之後,
殺了男主角自己登台和克莉絲汀對唱的歌曲,
目的在測試克莉絲汀對他的心意.
曲名The Point Of No Return的意思有臨界點,極限的意思,
我比較喜歡" 踏上不歸路 "這個翻譯.
魅影藉這首歌表明自己的立場,他已經沒有回頭路了,
他教導克莉絲汀歌唱,
以他的方式 暗中協助克莉絲汀成為劇院的第一女高音,
他給予愛情,信任和希望(反過來這也是他想得到的),
魅影偏激的愛情驅使他寫下這齣歌劇!
走到這一步,心愛的克莉絲汀卻偷偷和子爵訂婚了,
他必須要求克莉絲汀做出抉擇, 克莉絲汀也沒有回頭路了!
一開始魅影低聲唱出 "妳已經到達妳渴望的境界, 我已經帶給你一切,
我們的激情會融化結合,在你心中,你早已臣服於我,
拋開所有的防備,徹底的臣服於我,
現在的你和我在一起,沒有二心,
你已選擇,已決定",
聽起來像是要對克莉絲汀催眠一般,
雖然聽起來是魅影自欺欺人,
因為克莉絲汀早已經琵琶別抱了!
但是魅影仍然抱著最後一絲的希望,
即使這一丁點的希望微弱有如風中之燭,
但魅影仍努力向克莉絲汀勸說著.
他沒有之前的霸氣和狂傲了,
雖然歌詞里充滿絕對,但是從魅影口中唱出來,
可以聽出他的懇求和不安.
最後魅影唱出" All I Ask Of You ",
這首是克莉絲汀和子爵在屋頂互訴情衷唱的歌,
由魅影唱出, 盡是哀戚痛苦.......

The Point Of No Return
PHANTOM
Passarino - go away!
For the trap is set and waits for its prey!
You have come here in pursuit of
your deepest urge,
in pursuit of that wish,
which till now has been silent,
slient ...
I have brought you,
that our passions may fuse and merge
in your mind you've already succumbed to me,
dropped all defences,
completely succumbed to me
now you are here with me:
no second thoughts,you've decided,
decided ...
Past the point of no return
no backward glances:
the games we've played till now are at an end ...
Past all thought of "if" or "when"
no use resisting:
abandon thought, and let the dream descend ...
What raging fire shall flood the soul?
What rich desire unlocks its door?
What sweet seduction lies before us ...?
Past the point of no return,
the final threshold
what warm, unspoken secrets will we learn?
Beyond the point of no return ...
CHRISTINE
You have brought me to that moment
where words run dry,
to that moment where speech disappears into silence,
silence ...
I have come here,
hardly knowing the reason why ...
In my mind, I've already
imagined our bodies entwining,
defenceless and silent
and now I am here with you:
no second thoughts,I've decided,
decided ..
Past the point of no return
no going back now:
our passion-play has now,at last,begun ...
Past all thought of right or wrong
one final question:
how long should we two wait,
before we're one ...?
When will the blood begin to race,
the sleeping bud burst into bloom?
When will the flames, at last, consume us ...?
BOTH
Past the point of no return,
the final threshold
the bridge is crossed,
so stand and watch it burn ...
We've passed the point of no return ...
PHANTOM
Say you'll share with me
one love, one lifetime ...
Lead me, save me from my solitude ...
Say you want me with you, here beside you ...
Anywhere you go let me go too
Christine,
that's all I ask of ...
