(reading from his lyrics)
"Who wants to live in New York?
Who wants the worry, the noise, the dirt, the heat?
Who wants the garbage cans clanging in the street?
Suddenly I do.
(They are now auditioning for Joe Josephson.)
They're always popping the cork ? "
I hate that line ?
"The cops, the cabbies, the salesgirls up at Saks,
You gotta have a real taste for maniacs ?
Suddenly I do!"
你先唱吧
好
誰想要住在紐約
誰喜歡噪音塵土和熱氣煩惱
誰喜歡街上作響的垃圾桶
我卻愛上這裡
他們總在開酒慶祝(我討厭這句)
不管是警察司機或百貨公司的業務女郎
你得懂得品味這些肖人
但突然間我可以
JOE
That's great. That's swell.
The other stuff as well.
It isn't every day
I hear a score this strong
But fellas, if I may,
There's only one thing wrong:
不賴，很棒
其他聽來也不錯
我不會每天都聽到
那麼強的旋律
但朋友，請容我說一句
只有一個地方有問題
There's not a tune you can hum.
There's not a tune you go bum-bum-bum-di-dum.
You need a tune you can bum-bum-bum-di-dum ?
Give me a melody!
這些旋律你都唱不了
這些旋律你都無法跟著哼幫幫幫低幫
你需要旋律讓人跟著哼幫幫幫低幫
給我點旋律
Why can't you throw 'em a crumb?
What's wrong with letting 'em tap their toes a bit?
I'll let you know when Stravinsky has a hit ?
Give me some melody!
為什麼不讓觀眾嘗點甜
讓他們打點節拍有甚麼不好
史特拉文斯基也賣不了錢
給我點旋律
Oh sure, I know,
It's not that kind of show.
But can't you have a score
That's sort of in between?
Look, play a little more,
I'll show you what I mean ?
對我知道
你們想寫的不是那種戲
但你們能不能在中間
安差點好聽的譜曲
來，在彈一小段
我會解釋給你聽
CHARLEY
"Who wants to live in New York?
I always hated the dirt, the heat, the noise.
But ever since I met you, I ? "
誰想要住在紐約
誰喜歡噪音塵土和熱氣煩惱
但自從遇見你
我－
JOE
Listen, boys,
Maybe it's me,
But that's just not a hummmmmmmmmmmmmable melody!
(as he leaves)
Write more, work hard ?
Leave your name with the girl.
Less avant-garde ?
Leave your name with the girl.
Just write a plain old melodee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee ?
Dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee ?
聽著小夥子
或許是我的問題
但這就不是能哼哼哼哼的旋律
繼續寫，努力幹
把你們的名字留給那個女生
別太前衛
把你們名字留給那個女生
就寫點簡單傳統的旋律律律律律

Singing, "Go away!"
It's less of a sail
Than a climb.
That faraway shore's
Farther every day.
We're learning to ricochet ?
We still have a lot to say ?
我們週日聚再一起
挨門挨戶地被拒
唱著「滾一邊去」
這根本不像航行
而是徒手攀岩壁
那遙遠的彼岸
每天都多點距離
我們學會被踢皮球
但還有壯志未聲明
FRANK
You know what we'll do?
你知道我們該怎做甚麼嗎

Synanon song or the Kennedy number ?

You don't have to, we'll segue the
End of it into the dance we cut out ?
-好但我得有所有歌而且週六我得唱婚禮
噢天啊妳們有跳舞嗎，因為我不會
-更別提我還有兩首歌沒寫完
-你不用寫完，把它縫進我們刪掉的歌舞結局里？
CHARLEY
? And what'll we do about getting publicity,
Run around town putting stickers on windows ? ?
MARY
And have we decided or not on the restaurant sketch?
I need two or three days to replace it ?
FRANK
No, we'll use it but not with the long introduction ?
-我們的公關宣傳怎麼辦還得跑遍城市貼傳單
-還有我們決定餐廳的戲了嗎？要改得花我兩三天光景
-還沒，我們先演但不要那麼長的前言交代故事背景？
ALL
We'll worry about it on Sunday!

That faraway shore's looking not too far.
We're following every star ?
There's not enough time!
我們都在週日焦頭爛額
我們挨門挨戶拜訪
唱著「我們在這」
我們充實每一天
僅靠著十分錢
那對岸看來
並沒太遙遠
我們跟隨每顆星
時間快要不夠了
We're banging on doors, shouting, "Here again!"
We're risking it all on a dime.
That faraway shore's looking near again,
The only thing left is when,
We know we should count to ten ?
We haven't got time!
We haven't got time!
我們撞著每一扇門
大叫「又來了」
我們賭上僅有的十分錢
那對岸看來再度接近
只剩一件事
我們怎知何時要為了抵岸倒數
我們沒有時間
也還不知歲月
