Empty Chairs at Empty Tables From Les Miserables There's a grief that can't be spoken There's a pain goes on and on Empty chairs at empty tables Now my friends are dead and gone Here they talked of revolution Here it was they lit the flame Here they sang about tomorrow And tomorrow never came From the table in the corner They could see a world reborn And they rose with voices ringing And I can hear them now! The very words that they had sung Became their last communion On this lonely barricade At dawn Oh my friends, my friends forgive me That I live and you are gone There's a grief that can't be spoken There's a pain goes on and on Phantom faces at the window Phantom shadows on the floor Empty chairs at empty tables Where my friends will meet no more Oh my friends, my friends Don't ask me what your sacrifice was for Empty chairs at empty tables Where my friends will sing no more
看昨天AP坛友发了这首歌，这也是悲惨世界音乐剧里我很喜欢的一首歌，以前唱过挺多次的，找个过去的录音也来发一下。这首歌为全剧中男声独唱的主要唱段之一，感情充沛，是次男主Marius在革命失败后回到以前和朋友们聚会的酒馆时演唱的，他哀叹朋友们在革命中牺牲逝去，在他们曾经指点江山的酒馆中现在只余下了空的桌椅。
伴奏是用的Ramin Karimloo专辑里的版本，但我最喜欢的演绎是十周年纪念演唱会中Michael Ball演唱的那一版。
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables From Les Miserables There's a grief that can't be spokenThere's a pain goes on and on
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone Here they talked of revolution
Here it was they lit the flame
Here they sang about tomorrow
And tomorrow never came From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
And I can hear them now! The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On this lonely barricade
At dawn Oh my friends, my friends forgive me
That I live and you are gone
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on Phantom faces at the window
Phantom shadows on the floor
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will meet no more Oh my friends, my friends
Don't ask me what your sacrifice was for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will sing no more
