英國威爾斯非裔歌姬[雪莉貝西]──音樂劇/傳統流行情歌──Tonight/今晚

 

The Jets are gonna have their day
Tonight.

The Sharks are gonna have their way
Tonight.

The Puerto Ricans grumble: "Fair fight."
But if they start a rumble,
Well rumble em right.
Were gonna hand em a surprise
Tonight.
Were gonna cut em down to size
Tonight.
We said, "O.K., no rumpus,
No tricks."
But just in case they jump us,
Were ready to mix
Tonight.
Were gonna rock it tonight,
Were gonna jazz it up and have us a ball!
Theyre gonna get it tonight;
The more they turn it on the harder theyll fall!

Well, they began it!

Well, they began it!

And were the ones to stop em once and for all,
Tonight!
Anitas gonna get her kicks
Tonight.
Well have our private little mix
Tonight.
Hell walk in hot and tired,
So what?
Dont matter if hes tired,
As long as hes hot
Tonight!
Tonight, tonight,
Wont be just any night,
Tonight there will be no morning star.
Tonight, tonight, Ill see my love tonight.
And for us, stars will stop where they are.
Today
The minutes seem like hours,
The hours go so slowly,
And still the sky is light . . .
Oh moon, grow bright,
And make this endless day endless night!
Im counting on you to be there
Tonight.
When Diesel wins it fair and square
Tonight.
That Puerto Rican punkll
Go down.
And when hes hollered "Uncle"
Well tear up the town!
So I can count on you, boy?

All right.

Were gonna have us a ball.

All right.

Womb to tomb!

Sperm to worm!

Ill see you there about eight.
Tonight . . .
Tonight, tonight
Wont be just any night,
Tonight there will be no morning star,

Were gonna rock it tonight!
Theyre gonna get it tonight,
They began it,
They began it,
The began it.
Well stop em once and for all.
The Sharks are gonna have their way,
The Sharks are gonna have their day,
Were gonna rock it tonight.
Tonight!

Were gonna jazz it tonight!
Tonight!
They began it,
And were the ones to stop em once and for all!
The Jets are gonna have their way,
The Jets are gonna have their day.
Were gonna rock it tonight.
Tonight!

Tonight, tonight,
Late tonight,
Were gonna mix it tonight.
Anitas gonna have her day,
Anitas gonna have her day,
Bernardos gonna have his way
Tonight, tonight,
Tonight, this very night,
Were gonna rock it tonight!
Tonight, tonight,
Ill see my love tonight.
And for us, stars will stop where they are.

Today the minutes seem like hours.
The hours go so slowly,
And still the skiy is light.
Oh moon, grow bright,
And make this endless day endless night,

Tonight!

 

 

 

1962年,25歲的英國威爾斯非裔歌姬雪莉貝西(Shirley Bassey)發行單曲[Tonight/今晚](Columbia唱片出版)

這是翻唱1957年美國音樂劇《西城故事/West Side Story》中的歌曲,

由Leonard Bernstein作曲, Stephen Sondheim作詞.

歌曲於1956年出版.

這首歌是主角東尼和瑪麗亞之間的愛情二重唱,東尼在公寓外的防火梯探望瑪麗亞時演唱。

在1957年百老匯原版《西城故事》中,[Tonight]由Larry Kert和Carol Lawrence介紹給大眾。

 

雪莉版被製作成一首傳統流行情歌,在優美的絃樂聲中,

貝西以其寬廣音域營造出星空下的浪漫氛圍.

並有Rita Williams Singers and Geoff Love and his orchestra搭配.

 

Tonight]登上英國單曲榜#21

此曲未收在雪莉錄音室大碟,但收錄在貝西眾多精選輯中.
