哈姆雷特 (Hamlet) - Ophelia's song

哈姆雷特 (Hamlet) - Ophelia's song

近日認識了一首新歌, 'Ophelia's song' 。  它是丁丁以前介紹過莎士比亞話劇哈姆雷特(Hamlet )第四幕中歐菲莉亞(Ophelia)哼著的小曲 。記得曾經有朋友提及過歐菲莉亞是一位很漂亮很漂亮的少女。聽到這首有點像悲傷情歌的時候， 就想著去找尋它的由來， 原來它是一個很傷心的故事 。


《哈姆雷特》（英語：Hamlet）又名《王子復仇記》，是莎士比亞於1599年至1602年間的一部悲劇作品，是他最負盛名和被人引用最多的劇本。習慣上將本劇與《馬克白》、《李爾王》和《奧賽羅》一起，並稱為莎士比亞的“四大悲劇”。


歐菲莉亞 （Ophelia）— 波隆尼爾的女兒。她與哈姆雷特墜入愛河，但種種阻力警告王子，政治地位使他們無望結合。作為哈姆雷特瘋狂復仇計劃的一部分，她被他無情拋棄，加上父親的死讓她精神錯亂，最終失足落水溺斃。

歐菲莉亞因遭受哈姆雷特拒絕及父親過世的雙重打擊而徹底發狂了，不停地哼著小曲 "Ophelia's song'（這些小曲莎士比亞可能取材自英國傳統民間音樂）。不知自殺還是意外，她最後失足落水因而溺斃。

Ophelia's song composed by Elizabeth Maconchy



Ophelia's song 
How should I your true love know
From another one?
By his cockle hat and staff,
And his sandal shoon.

He is dead and gone, lady,
He is dead and gone;
At his head a grass green turf,
At his heels a stone.

White his shroud as the mountain snow,
Larded with sweet [flowers]1;
Which bewept to the grave did go
With true-love [showers]2.

And will he not come again?
And will he not come again?
No, no, he is dead:
Go to thy deathbed.
He never, never will come again,
He never will come again.

His beard was as white as snow,
All flaxen was his poll;
He is gone,
And we cast away moan:

God ha' mercy on his soul.
