MOVIE 電 影
1977年, 電影 "A Little Night Music" 女星: 依莉莎伯 泰萊 Elizabeth Taylor, 可惜在網上平台找不到在香港上影的記錄, 祇有它的中文名字《小夜曲》, 還好仍找到 "玉婆"在影片中罕有親自獻唱一曲。
A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC - Elizabeth Taylor
Isn't it rich? Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air..
Where are the clowns?
Isn't it rich? Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air..
Where are the clowns?
Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move...
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.
Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours.
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines...
No one is there.
Don't you love farce? My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want...
Sorry, my dear!
And where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here.
Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career.
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns...
Well, maybe next year.

"Send in the Clowns"
在舞台上由 Glynis Johns 親自演譯, 唱片亦同時面世, 在樂壇未被關注, Stephen Sondheim 認為她的版本祇被音樂劇觀眾喜愛。音樂劇上演後, 同年九月交由 Frank Sinatra 演譯, 繼而有不同歌手翻唱, 包括其他語言版本達兩百個。
"Send In The Clowns" - Frank Sinatra
Spoken intro
This is a song about a couple of adult people who have spent,
oh, quite a long time together, till one day one of 'em gets restless and decides to leave.
Whether it's the man or woman who left is unimportant.
It's a breakup.
It's a lovely marriage of words and music, written by Stephen Sondheim.
