《嘿,小鸣鸟-Hey Little Songbird》取自于2018年获得8项托尼大奖的音乐剧《冥界Hadestown》,目前正在纽约百老汇上演,这个音乐剧用现代的艺术手法描写了希腊神话里一段爱情悲剧,音乐家俄耳甫斯Orpheus是太阳神和缪斯女神的儿子,他经过千苦万难去冥界,欲救回死去的妻子欧律狄克EURYDICE,好不容易用他优美的琴声打动了冥王Hades放人,也答应了冥王的一个条件,就是在出冥界之前,不能看妻子一眼。他一路在前走,妻子一路紧跟,就在出冥界的那一刻,妻子抱怨他的冷落,他情不自禁一回头,妻子又被抓了回去。受这个打击,他一直放浪形骸,浪迹天崖,最后被一帮女人砍了头。天神宙斯见他凄惨,便把他的七弦琴挂在了天空,这便是天琴星座的来历。 这首歌是冥王Hades和变身为小鸣鸟的Eurydice的对唱,歌词有趣。
[HADES] Hey, little songbird, give me a song I'm a busy man and I can't stay long I got clients to call, I got orders to fill I got walls to build, I got riots to quell And they're giving me hell back in Hades
Hey, little songbird, cat got your tongue? Always a pity for one so pretty and young When poverty comes to clip your wings And knock the wind right out of your lungs Hey, nobody sings on empty
[EURYDICE] Strange is the call of this strange man I wanna fly down and feed at his hand I want a nice, soft place to land I wanna lie down forever
[HADES] Hey, little songbird, you've got something fine You'd shine like a diamond down in the mine And the choice is yours if you're willing to choose Seeing as you've got nothing to lose And I could use a canary
[EURYDICE] Suddenly nothing is as it was Where are you now, Orpheus? Wasn't it gonna be the two of us? Weren't we birds of a feather?
[HADES] Hey, little songbird, let me guess He's some kind of poet and he's penniless Give him your hand, he'll give you his hand-to-mouth He'll write you a poem when the power is out Hey, why not fly south for the winter?
Hey, little songbird, look all around you See how the vipers and vultures surround you And they'll take you down, they'll pick you clean If you stick around such a desperate scene See, people get mean when the chips are down。

I got walls to build, I got riots to quell
And they're giving me hell back in Hades

Always a pity for one so pretty and young
When poverty comes to clip your wings
And knock the wind right out of your lungs
Hey, nobody sings on empty

You'd shine like a diamond down in the mine
And the choice is yours if you're willing to choose
Seeing as you've got nothing to lose
And I could use a canary

Where are you now, Orpheus?
Wasn't it gonna be the two of us?

He's some kind of poet and he's penniless
Give him your hand, he'll give you his hand-to-mouth
He'll write you a poem when the power is out

Hey, little songbird, look all around you
See how the vipers and vultures surround you
And they'll take you down, they'll pick you clean
If you stick around such a desperate scene
See, people get mean when the chips are down。
