后妈茶话会歌词笔记
在《声临其境》的舞台上,迪士尼反传统曲目"后妈茶话会"(Tough Love)因其独特的魅力大放异彩。这首歌,原为PattyCake团队创作的Villains Liar系列,歌词中的智慧和深度值得我们深入探讨。故事围绕灰姑娘的后妈Lady Tremaine展开,她的话语里隐藏着对现实的犀利洞察和对教育的独特见解。
Lady Tremaine从一开始就展现了她的转变策略。早年,她母亲期望她通过婚姻来提升社会地位,先是出于爱,而后是追求贵族的身份。歌词中,“noble brow”这一词,巧妙地描绘了贵族阶层的象征。她对待灰姑娘的教育方式,尽管看似冷酷,实则深思熟虑,如歌词所言:“我将她藏于阁楼,以免视线触及,免于心生怜悯。本可弃之,但我选择了宽容,因为我知道,教育棘手的孩子,需要巧妙的引导。”
歌词中,灰姑娘的天真被用“Doe-eyed Beauty”形容,而她的成长过程则被比喻为从温室花朵到独立自主的转变。通过这样的母女合唱,歌词巧妙地传达了教育的深意,那就是教会孩子面对现实,而非简单粗暴的对待。
Gothel,这位不太为人知的迪士尼公主,歌词中揭示了她为了维持青春,不惜采用操纵手段,如“借走”Rapunzel并藏于塔中。她的育儿方式充满了控制、欺骗和强迫,歌词中描述的“吃掉她的幼崽”形象地表达了她对权力的追求和对依赖的掌控。
这首歌以“Highway”为象征,女王的形象体现了她对权力的渴望,以及对白雪公主的严苛统治,暗含着牺牲和命运的隐喻。然而,白雪公主的乐观和歌曲中的“Seal one's fate”揭示了命运的不可预知和坚持自我梦想的力量。尽管被贴上“邪恶”标签,但歌词中“强硬的爱”揭示了教育者背后的深刻关怀,以及对成长之路的严厉与呵护。
三位女主角的合唱,以“一切在之间”暗示了复杂的情感与评价,她们共同认可,黑暗和挑战是生活的真谛。即使在看似残酷的教育背后,隐藏的也是对成功的女性角色的深深关爱。这首歌的故事和歌词,不仅是一次音乐的盛宴,也是对人性与爱的深刻剖析。让我们一同品味这杯名为“后妈茶话会”的韵味,感受其中隐藏的智慧与情感。
具体如下:
灰姑娘的后妈:
Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed(起誓)
I must find the way to power through a noble brow顶级贵族
I married once for love, then my senses came
I must marry for the stature名望 of my husband's name
Onto marriage number two
I knew what I had to do
my poor husband fell ill in a year or two
Solved problem number one, now to problem number two
His doe-eyed天真无邪的 little girl with gentle point of view
Would I ship her off to school?
No! I told her if she stayed that she’d have
To earn her keep and so she became the maid女仆
后妈女儿:
She was lazy!she was crazy!
She was talking to the mice!
She was hopelessly naïve, so she had to pay the price
I moved her to the attic阁楼 out of sight and out of mind
I could have thrown her out, but I am benevolent仁慈的 and kind
后妈女儿:
Mother, your heart’s too big for you
I knew what I had to do~
After all, difficult children will take advantage of your good nature
So you lock them up, throw away the key
There’s one on every family tree
后妈女儿:
Ungrateful
Hateful
Vile邪恶的 too, the things she put you through!
Break their spirit so they obey
Now they’ll do anything you say
Maybe you’d call it cruel but others would call it love
Tough love
I ask you, is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things?
长发公主的后妈:
Oh no, they’re so cute when they’re little but
Then they grow up and just ruin everything
I never wanted children, life was better on my own
All the screaming, nagging喋喋不休 chilled寒冷 me to the bone
But then one day I came across a flower growing free
Its magic kept me young, so I kept it all for me
But someone dug it up, now a baby held the power
So I“borrowed” her, locked her up and hid her in a tower
Years went by, Oh! the sacrifice!
And against my better judgement, I fed her once or twice
Teenagers now I know I wild eat their young
But that’s messy
Manipulation’s easily more fun
A little guilt, a lot of force, of course you have to lie
Remind them that without you, they’d shrivel up枯萎and die
They only have themselves to blame
If you’d been there, you’d do the same
主要内容:
《后妈茶话会》就是讲述了三个优雅婆娘喝着茶谈论着自己的育儿经验。三个婆娘的地位阶级不同,在当时那个年代,地位阶级决定着你以什么方式生活。像灰姑娘的后妈是一个受过教育的贵妇,所以她的动作幅度不大,除了和女儿们的互动之外,她的手一直是放在腿上的,更多的是眼神交流。
白雪公主的后妈是皇后,拥有至高无上的权力,统领着一个王国,手大部分是放在椅子的扶手上,最激动的时候也只是挥挥小拳头,而且对于其他两个人一直有一种“啊,不过如此”的感觉。
相较于前两个人,长发姑娘的葛朵妈妈就显得没那么有教养,毕竟是一个巫婆,无拘无束惯了,不受那些繁文缛节束缚。所以她的动作幅度是最大的,激动的时候还会手舞足蹈。
