Britains Got Talent 2009に、”Susan Boyle”というファニーな
おばちゃんが登場。やや怪訝そうな審査員を尻目に、おばちゃん
が歌い出すと、その美声に審査員はびっくり！会場も騒然。
Amazing!!!
歌は[Les Miserables]の挿入歌 「I dreamed a dream」。
いやぁ～すごいね。感動しました。「歌を習いたい。」という
おばちゃんの素朴な夢はきっと叶うでしょう。優勝だね！
"God Bless America"を歌うKate Smithを思い出しましたが、
声のトーンはもっと高く、のびやかで心地いい美声でした。
47歳の歌声には聞こえませんでしたね。
歌っている歌詞を下記に記載しておきます。いい歌ですね。
全く知りませんでした。New York留学時代にミュージカル
行っておくべきでしたよ。
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
when hope was high and life worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die.
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid
when dreams were made and used and wasted.
There was no ransom to be paid.
No song unsung, no wine untasted.
But the tigers come at night
with their voices soft as thunder
as they tear your hope apart,
as they turn your dream to shame.
He slept a summer by my side.
He filled my days with endless wonder.
He took my childhood in his stride
but he was gone when autumn came.
And still I dream he’ll come to me.
That we will live the years together.
But there are dreams that cannot be.
And there are storms we cannot weather.
I had a dream my life would be so different
form this he’ll I’m living.
So different now from what is seemed.
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
