こんにちは、茅野です。
今回は、ほぼ自分用に、英語歌唱版のオペラ『エヴゲーニー・オネーギン』の歌詞を打ち出していこうとおもいます。
リブレットから手動で打ち出しているので、多分タイピングミスが結構あるとおもいます。すみません。何か見つけたら教えて下さい。
基本的に自分用ですが、なにかお役に立てていれば幸い。それでは宜しくお願いします。
No. 1 Duet and Quartet
Tatiana and Olga
"Oh, did you hear the lovesisk shepherd boy
who sings of woe and sadness never-ending?
The morning silence with him softly blending,
as he pours out his plaintive song of love.
Oh, did you hear the shepherd boy
as he pours out his silent love?
Within the grove each day
the shepherd sings his plaintive song of love.
Oh, did you hear at break of day the shepherd boy
who sings of love?"
Madame Larina
I know that song and I remember
how in those long-forgotten days
when I was young, I also sang it.
Filippievna
Ah, that was many years ago.
Tatiana and Olga
"And did you sigh to thear its melody,
his song of love and sadness never-ending,
and see his grief, all other grief transcending,
as in distress he vowed that he would die?"
And did you sigh to hear him vow that he would die?
In his distress the shepherd boy
looked down and vowed that he would die.
Madame Larina
How I adored those English novels!
Filippievna
Yes, that was many years ago.
Madame Larina
Not that I read them for myself.
No, it was just because my cousin -
Princesse Aline who lived in Moscow -
would talk of Richardson all day.
Ah, Grandison! Ah, Richardson!
Filippievna
Yes, I remember.
You'd only just become engaged!
But I knew it wasn't a love-match!
For you had see your heart on someone
more remantically inclined, and dreamt you might elope together.
Madame Larina
Ah, so I had! Ah, so I had!
He took my heart away, that dashing ensign in the Guards!
Filippievna
All that seems many years ago.
Madame Larina
I was so elegant in those days...
Filippievna
Yes, you looked lovely...
Madame Larina
... And wore each fachion à la mode.
Filippievna
... And wore each fashion of the day.
Madame Larina
But father chose a husband for me.
Filippievna
Then you were married straght away;
no wonder you were so unhappy.
But soon you said goodby to Moscow;
your noble master brought you here, and when your household duties started you grew contented.
Madame Larina
At first I woke each morning crying, and even longed to run away.
But householf duties soon began and gradually I grew contented.
Madame Larina and Filippievna
God sends us habit from abode in place of happiness and love.
The proverb's true!
Madame Larina
And so romance, Princess Aline,
and books of sentimental verse erte all forgotten.
Filippievna
And you soon preferred to dress in something simpler;
instead of crinoline and wrap...
Madame Larina and Filippievna
Ah! I/You wear a quilted gown and cap.
God sends us habit from adove in place of happiness and love.
The proverb's true!
Madame Larina
And yet my husband loved me blindly and always treated me so kindly.
Filippievna
And yet the master loved you blindly and always treated you so kindly.
Madame Larina
Yes, God is good, he knows what's best, and all who trust in him surely will find rest.
No. 2 Chorus and Dance of the Peasants
Leader
My legs ache and can no longer run, now the day is done.
Peasants
My poor legs are aching and cannot run.
Leader
My hands both are sore from binding corn since the break of morn.
Peasants
My sore hands are aching from binding corn.
My heart is grieving from bitter sorrow and neber-ending care;
my spirit is sore for I'll see my love no more.
My legs ache and can no longer run, now the day is done.
My poor legs are aching and cannot run.
My hands both are sore from binding corn since the break of morn.
Health and wealth to your ladyship, years of plenty and fellowship!
Doubtless you know why we come to you bearing a sheaf as we always do;
harvest is finished at last!
Madame Larina
Thank you, good people, I'm delighted.
You're welcome here.
Let's celebrate the harvest with a song!
Peasants
Why, that's a pleasure ma'am.
Sing for her ladyship, and take your places, dancers.
Come on now, are you ready?
In a cottage by the water lived a miller with his daughter.
Fa la la la,
lived a miller with his daughter.
Came a farmer on the ferry,
rich and ruddy as a cherry.
Fa la la la,
ruch and ryuddy as a cherry.
Saw the miller's pretty daughter,
started then and there to court her.
Fa la la la,
started then and there to court her.
Thought he'd manage to persuade her if he came to serenade her.
Fa la la la,
if he came to serenade her.
"Won't you listen to my pleading?
I'm a genteleman of breeding."
Fa, la la la,
"I'm a gentleman of breeding."
"You have said the same to Sasha;
broke your promise to Parasha!"
Fa la la la,
"broke your promies to Parasha!"
"Don't believe that harridan Parasha,
when I see her next I swear I'll thrash her!"
Don't believe Parasha,
sho's been gossiping with Masha;
if we meet again I'll thrash her!"
But the miller's pretty daughter
shouted back across the water,
Fa la la la,
shouted back across the water.
"Thought you've got your fascination,
I must keep my reputation,
so I'll be at your disposal
when you make me a proposal!"
Fa la la la !
No.3 Scene and Aria
Tatiana
Oh, how I love to hear the people singing,
for music makes me lose myself in endless dreaming and yearning far away.
Olga
Ah, Tanya, Tanya, you fream the whole day long!
I'm not like you at all; when I hear songs they always set me dancing.
"In a cottage by the water lived a miller with his daughter."
I'm not the sort to sit in silence,
at night I never stay awake
and mwatch the moonkight at my window,
or sight and sigh and sigh
as if my hear would break!
So why be sad? Behave as I do
and lead a life that's always gay;
for when you're cheeful and fond of laughter
the heart grows younger every day.
Never give way to sorrow or despaire;
each morning calls anew to pleasure!
My love of life is past all measure,
that's why my heart is free from care!
No. 4 Scene
Madame Larina
Come here, my darling Olga!
I love to see you happy and contented.
You'd really like to spend the whole day dancing, I'm sure of it!
Filippievna
Tanyusha, what's the matter?
Tell me, child; oerhaps you're feeling ill.
Tatiana
No, Nanny, please don't worry.
Madame Larina
Good people, let me thank you for your singing.
You must be thirsty now.
Filippievna, arrange for wine before they leave.
My friends, God bless you!
Peasants
Goodbye, and thank you, ma'am!
Olga
Oh, mother, what's the matter with Tatiana?
Madame Larina
Dear, dear! Indeed, you look quite pale, my darling.
Tatiana
But no more than usual.
You're far too anxious, mother!
Can't you see I'm byst reading my novel?
Madame Larina
Ah, clearly that's the reason!
Tatiana
It's such a moving tale of two young people;
they're both in love yet so unhappy,
and I'm sorry for them.
Oh, how they had to suffer!
Madame Larina
Tanya darling, when I was young, I, too,
would get upset from reading there romances.
They're all made up, my child!
As time went by I came to realise that in life there are no heroes or hiroines.
Olga
You try to sound so worldly, but all the time forget you're in your apron!
Think what a sight you'd look if Lensky came!
Hush, there's a carriage coming!
Here he is!
Madame Larina
He's very early!
Tatiana
He's not alone.
Madame Larina
Who can it be?
Filippievna
Your ladyship, he says it's Mister Lensky;
Mister Onegin's with him.
Tatiana
Oh, in that case I must go!
Madame Larina
What nonsense, Tanya! They'll be offended.
Heavens above! My cap is on all askew!
Olga
Why don't you ask them in?
Madame Larina
Invite them to come in!
No. 5 Scene and Quartet
Lensky
Medames, I hope that you'll excuse me,
I've brought a visitor. This is Onegin,
my neighbour and my friend.
Onegin
I'm greatly honoured.
Madame Larina
No, really, sir, it's we who are honored.
Be seated and meet my daughters.
Onegin
I find them charming, ma'am.
Madame Larina
Let's go inside to talk,
or, if you would preher it,
we could remain here in the garden.
I beg you, don't stand on ceremony;
we are neighbours, so do exactly as you please.
Lensky
I love it here! There's nowhere else that's wuite so peaceful
or secluded. It's just delightful!
Madame Larina
Stay here then!
But I must go indoors to see about the supper.
My girls will entertain you. A bientôt!
Onegin
Now tell me, which of them's Tatiana?
I'm really interested to know.
Lensky
The older one who's looking sad,
with eyes cast downwards so demurely.
Onegin
I'm most surprised you've chosen Olga.
Lensky
And why?
Onegin
For I'd prefer the other
were I a poet just like you.
Your Olga's features have no life,
no special character or poetry.
I'll grant she has a pretty face,
but like the moon it lacks all grace;
yes, like the moon it's vacent and prosaic.
Lensky
Clearly there is a gulf betwwen us;
for prose and verse
or fire and water
aren't more unlike than you and I!
Ah, yes! There is a gulf between us;
for prose and verse
or fire and water
aren't more unlike than you and I!
...Are not more different then you and I!
Tatiana
Now, now at last my eyes are open,
my heart assures me it is he!
And now I know his precious image
will haunt me for the rest of life.
I'll dream each night of my beloved.
His coming has aroused within me
the magic feeling of desire,
and set my loving soulon fire.
His coming's filled we with desire,
and straightway set my soul on fire!
Olga
I always knews that when Onegin came here
his elegance and easy social grace
would make a deep impression.
The gossips will begin to talk
and make their scandalous conclusions.
Slylym they'll call him eligible
though also hint that he's depraved.
I knew that when Onegin came here
his charm would make a deep impression.
The cillage gossips now will start to whisper
and link Tatiana's name with his.
The people here will start to gossip and whisper,
linking Tatiana's name with his.
No. 6 Scene and Arioso
Lensky
How perfect, how wonderful,
to be onve more together!
Olga
I thought we met here only yesterday.
Lensky
I know, but that is ages.
One whole day of separation -
it seemed endless!
Olga
Endless! You make it sound so terrible!
Don't exaggerate!
Lensky
The word was strong, Olga,
even as my love for you!
Onegin
But tell me, though,
do you not find it rather boring
livint so cut off?
It's very quaint but somewhat rustic;
there's noghing here to offer you
distraction or give amusement.
Tatiana
Well, I'm fond of reading.
Onegin
Really! It's true tha books can give us pleasure;
I enjoy them also,
but even reading surely has its limits!
Tatiana
I daydream as I wander through the garden.
Onegin
What is it that you deam about?
Tatiana
My greatest joy is meditation,
and has been since I was a child.
Onegin
I see that you're incurably romantic;
I, too, once used to be the same.
Lensky
How I love you, I adore you, Olga,
with the hopeless longing of a poet's fervour,
as onky he is doomed to love!
My heart is ruled by one emotion,
for you're my goddess and my muse.
While still a boy my heart was captured;
your voice would haunt me night and day.
I watched your innocence, enraptured,
and heard you laughing at your play.
We lived not caring for the morrow,
sharing each childish koy and sorrow.
Ah!
How I worshiop you, how I worship you,
with the hopeless love known only to a poet!
You are all my inspiration,
you alone are all my gladness,
all my happiness and sadness!
How I love you, I adore you,
and there's no power on earth,
no time or distance that could keep us both apart,
or ever cool the ardour
of my pure desire,
for love has warmed it with eternal fire!
Olga
Our days of childhood were serene
amid this quiet rural scene.
Lensky
For I worship you!
Olga
Our parents watched us as we grew
and knew that I would marry you.
Lensky
Yes, I worship you and only you!
No. 7 Closing Scene
Madame Larina
Ah, here you are! But what's become of Tanya?
Filippievna
I saw her with your guest down by the lakeside.
I'll go at onve and call her.
Madame Larina
Yes, and say to her
she should be in by now. Our guests are hungry,
and soon it will be supper-time.
So meanwhile, let's go indoors.
Lensky
We'll follow you, ma'am.
Onegin
My uncle wrote that he was ailing
and so I called on him down here.
Thank Gof, he died a few weekd later
and earned my gratitude, I fear,
for he had left me quite a forture!
But, Lord above, I found it tedious
to sit beside him night and day,
just waiting till he passed away!
Filippievna
My ppor Tanyusha! She looks so timid,
her eyes cast meekly down, and never speaking.
How pale she's looking and how shy!
Can that young gentleman have caught my darling's fancy?
