一部傳記電影,改編自知名的音樂劇,講述阿根廷的前第一夫人伊娃.裴隆(María Eva Duarte de Perón,1919~1952年,另譯貝隆夫人)、民眾暱稱為Evita(艾薇塔)的一生。同時,也從這位貧窮女子力爭出頭的野心中展現一個時代。
請聽這段主題曲,旋律優美,歌詞更是傳神:
It won’t be easy | 一言難盡。 |
You’ll think it strange | 我講出這些心底話, |
When I try to explain how I feel | 大家一定會驚訝: |
that I still need your love after all that I’ve done | 在是是非非之後,我仍然需要大家的愛。 |
You won’t believe me | 你未必肯信: |
All you will see is a girl you once knew | 你眼前所見,仍是你以前認識的女孩, |
Although she’s dressed up to the nines | 雖然衣服變得體面, |
At sixes and sevens with you | 雖然地位變得崇高。 |
I had to let it happen | 我不得已, |
I had to change | 我必須改變。 |
Couldn’t stay all my life down at heels | 我不要一生爬不起來。 |
Looking out of the window | 當年看著窗外, |
Staying out of the sun | 卻看不到陽光。 |
So I chose freedom | 所以我要自由, |
Running around trying everything new | 衝衝衝,奮鬥突破。 |
But nothing impressed me at all | 我一事無成, |
I never expected it to | 但也沒有非分之想。 |
Don’t cry for me, Argentina | 阿根廷,別為我哭泣! |
The truth is I never left you | 說真的:我從未離開大家, |
All through my wild days | 即使日子飄泊, |
My mad existence | 即使任性墮落。 |
I kept my promise | 我守了承諾, |
Don’t keep your distance | 也請你別離開我。 |
And as for fortune and as for fame | 名名利利, |
I never invited them in | 我一向隨緣。 |
Though it seemed to the world | 但世人看我, |
They were all I desired | 卻是熱衷名利。 |
They are illusions | 名利水中月, |
They are not the solutions | 那並非答案, |
They promise to be | 那似是而非。 |
The answer was here all the time | 解決之道,老早在各位眼前: |
I love you and hope you love me | 我愛大家,也希望大家愛我。 |
Don’t cry for me, Argentina | 阿根廷,別為我哭泣! |
Don’t cry for me, Argentina | 阿根廷,別為我哭泣! |
The truth is I never left you | 說真的:我從未離開大家, |
All through my wild days | 即使日子飄泊, |
My mad existence | 即使任性墮落。 |
I kept my promise | 我守了承諾, |
Don’t keep your distance | 也請你別離開我。 |
Have I said too much | 我話太多了嗎? |
There is nothing more I can think of say to you | 我言不盡意。 |
But all you have to do | 你們只要看著我, |
Is look at me to know that every word is true……… | 就明白我句句真心! |
那樣軍事動盪、那樣國族求存、那樣時勢英雄、那樣永懷領袖的時代,台灣畢竟是走過了。可是,又將走向哪裡?
