Me vais a perdonar, pero entre que estoy vago y estamos de fiestas...
Hoy sólo colgaré una pista.
Think of me
Carlotta comienza a cantar el aria de su personaje (la letra la pondré más adeate), cuando es interrumpida:
Meg, bailarinas del ballet y coro
He's here: the phantom of the opera...
He is with us...
It's the gost...
André
Good heavens!
Will yoy show a little courtesy?
(aviso: los diálogos no aparecen en las pistas, y por eso no los voy a copiar, que s no acabaré par el 3.115 o así... por lo que el hilo no se va a seguir del todo bien...)
Firmin
A Meg y las demás)
Mademoiselle, please!
André
A Carlotta
These things do happen.
Carlotta
Si! These yhings do happen. Well, until you stop these yhings happening, this thing does not happen!
Carlotta se ha enfadado por la intromisión y por los estúpidos cuentos del fantasma, y abandona el teatro (seguida por su marido Ubaldo), por lo que... quién va a cantar ahora su papel? Alguien tiene una idea:
Meg
Christine Daaé could sing it, sir.
Firmin
The chorus girl?
Giry
Let her sing for you, Monsieur. She has been well taught.
Le dan una oportunidad, y quedan convencidos.
Christine
Think of me,
Think of me fondly,
When we've said
Goodbye.
Remenber me
Once in a while-
Please promise
me you'll try.
When you find
that, once
again, you long
to take your heart back
and be free-
if you ever fing
a moment,
spere a thought
for me...
(Cambia la escena: estamos en la noche del estreno)
We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea-
but if
you can still
remember,
stop and think
of me...
Think of all the things
we've shared and seen-
don't think about the things
wich might have been...
Think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and
resigned.
Imagine me,
trying too hard
to put you
from my mind.
Recall those days,
look back
on all those times,
think of all the things
we'll never do-
there will
never be
a day, when
I won't think
of you...
(Aplausos y bravos. Destaca entre ellos los del jove Raoul, que está en el palco de los managers)
Raoul
Can it be?
Can it be Chrisine?
Bravo!
What a change!
You're really
not a bit the gawkish girl
that once you were...
She may
not remember
me, but
I remember
her...
Christine
We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or was uncharging
as the sea-
but please
promise me,
tha sometimes
you will think
of me!
La melodía de este aria va a volver a emplearse a lo largo del musical en varias ocasiones, en general en escenas de amor.
La estructira del aria recuerda mucho a la que usaba Bellini, a saber, las 4 estrofas musicalmente tienen la estructura A1, A2, B y A3. Es decir, la segunda estrofa repite la melodia de la primera. La Tercera es completamente distinta, y la 4 vuelve a retomar la primera melodía. Si es necesario explicarlo mejor, decidlo.
