英语影视原声歌曲：王尔德的经典之作 Lady Come Down

王尔德的经典之作：Lady Come Down

不知道大家有没有看过王尔德的经典剧作The Importance Of Being Earnest，以此改编的同名电影由科林·费尔斯主演，女主角之一还是《律政俏佳人》中的金发美女Reese Witherspoon。这首Lady Come Down就是当时剧中的插曲，由王尔德作词。不过公平来说，两大男主角的唱功真不咋地，唱成这样，Lady是不会下来见你们的哦。

Artist：Rupert & Colin
Song：Lady Come Down

Rupert (as Algy): After you dear boy.
Colin (as Jack¹): Oh no after you.
Rupert: No, no, no, do go first Im not really good at the high bits. Im much better low
Colin: Oh well see...
Hm hm hm hmm
Rupert: 1 2. and!


Colin: The western wind is blowing fair
Across the dark Aegean Sea
Rupert: And at the secret marble stair
My Tyrian galley² waits for thee

Together: Come down, the purple sail is spread
The watchman sleeps within the town
Oh leave thy lily flowerbed
Oh lady mine, come down

Chorus³: Come down
Lady come down
Come down
Lady come down,
Oh Lady come down

She will not come I know her well
Of lover's vows⁴ she hath no care
And little good a man can tell
Of one so cruel and so fair

Colin: True love is but a womans toy
They never know their lover's pain
Rupert: And I who loved as loves a boy
Must love in vain
Together: Must love in vain

Come down
Lady come down
Come down
Lady come down

Colin: I think your high notes may have damaged our chances old boy. You do want them to come down dont you?
Rupert: well she is never gonna come down if you're singing like that. Youre completely out of tune⁵
Colin: How dare you
Rupert: Ill take this bit
Colin: you leave this to me. You go lie down around
Rupert: no Ill take this bit
Colin: out of my way Im coming through
Rupert: go easy, my dear fellow
Colin: COME DOOOOOWWWNNN

Come down
Lady come down (Rupert: Jack (Colin), youre messing it more) __
Come down
Lady come down

Colin: That wasnt so bad, was it?
