- I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM
MARY MAGDALENE
I don't know how to love him.
What to do, how to move him.
I've been changed, yes really changed.
In these past few days, when I've seen myself,
I seem like someone else.
I don't know how to take this.
I don't see why he moves me.
He's a man. He's just a man.
And I've had so many men before,
In very many ways,
He's just one more.
Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love,
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Don't you think it's rather funny,
I should be in this position.
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool,
Running every show.
He scares me so.
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Yet, if he said he loved me,
I'd be lost. I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my head. I'd back away.
I wouldn't want to know.
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him so.

"The Phantom of the Opera"
Denk an mich (Think of me)
Denk an mich, denk an mich zärtlich,
wie in einem Traum.
Erinn're Dich, keine Macht trennt uns ausser Zeit und Raum.
An dem Tag, wann er auch kommen mag,
an dem du Abschied nimmst von mir,
lass das Gestern weiterleben, schliess es ein in Dir.
Denk an unsre Zeit im Sonnenschein
Denk nicht daran, was nicht hat sollen sein
Denk an mich, sieh meine Zeichen, wenn du mich vermisst
Versuch' wie ich Stärke zu zeigen, wenn du müde bist.
Denk an mich und quälen Sorgen dich,
dann komm beständig her zu mir,
lass das Gestern weiterleben
such mein Bild in Dir!
I don't know how to love him
I don't know how to love him.
What to do, how to move him.
I've been changed, yes really changed.
In these past few days, when I've seen myself.
I seem like someone else.
I don't know how to take this.
I don't see, why he moves me.
He's a man, he's just a man.
And I had so many men before,
in very many ways.
He's just one more.

I'm the one, who's always been.
So calm, so cool.
No lovers fool.
I running every show.

I love him so!
| Könntest Du doch wieder bei mir sein |
|
Du allein warst mein Beschützer
Inhalt meines Lebens.
Du warst mir ein Freund und Vater,
jetzt ruf ich vergebens.
Könntest du doch wieder, bei mir sein
seit du fort bist leb ich kaum.
Oft schien es mir, ich wär bei dir
doch es war nur ein Traum.
Könnte ich doch deine Stimme hören,
wärst du noch einmal ganz nah.
träumen allein hilft mir nicht zu sein,
wie mich dein Ehrgeiz sah.
Kreuze, Moos und Friedhofsengel,
steinern, stumm und schmerzlich.
Wie bist du hierher geraten? Du
warst weich und herzlich-
wie lang muß ich, weinen um dich?
Kann ich mich nie befrein?
Könntest du doch wieder bei mir sein
mich verstehn und mich befrein ...
nimm was zerann und gib mir dann
Stärke allein zu sein.
Keine Tränen mehr, keine Bitterkeit,
keine Trauer um längst verlor'ne Zeit.
Hilf mir stark zu sein!

Nachts erwachen alle Deine Sinne
Träume wachsen, Zweifel halten inne
Frei von Ängsten steigen
Gefühle aus dem Schweigen
Fühl´ den dunklen Schleier der Dich streichelt
Fass ihn, spür´ ihn, wie er Dich umschmeichelt
Schütze Dein Gesicht
vor dem grellen Tageslicht
Denk an nichts mehr was die Seele traurig macht
Und höre nur noch die Musik der Nacht
Schließ die Augen und gib Dich Deiner Sehnsucht hin
Flieh weit fort vor dem Zweifel und dem Tag
Schließ die Augen und schweb im Geist davon
Und verlier Dich im Reich der Illusion
Leise wird die Musik in Dir erklingen
Hör´ sie, lass sie zärtlich Dich durchdringen
Lös´ Dich von der Welt,
Die Dein Herz gefangen hält
Wiederstrebe nicht der unbekannten Macht
Den dunklen drängen der Musik der Nacht
Wir reisen in eine andre Wirklichkeit
Wo die Seele sich reinigt und befreit
Lass Dich treiben, lass alles hinter Dir
Denn erst dann, wirst Du ein Teil von mir
Komm und spüre den süßen Rausch des Schwebens
Komm und berühr mich, trink vom Quell des Lebens
Lass den Traum geschehen
Versuche zu verstehen
Welch zärtliche Musik in mir erwacht
Und such mit mir nach der Musik der Nacht
Nur allein mit Dir wird es vollbracht
Mach aus meinem Lied Musik der Nacht

(Christine)
Denk an mich!
Denk an mich zärtlich,
wie an einen Traum.
Erinn're dich,
keine Macht trennt uns
außer Zeit und Raum!
An dem Tag,
wann er auch kommen mag
an dem du Abschied nimmst von mir
laß das Gestern weiterleben,
schließ es ein in dir!
Natürlich war von allem Anfang klar
daß ich dich irgendwann verlier,
aber wenn du dich zurücksehnst
such mein Bild in dir!
Denk an uns're Zeit im Sonnenschein,
denk nicht an das was nicht hat sollen sein!
Denk an mich,
sieh meine Zeichen
wenn du dich verirrst
Versuch wie ich,
Stärke zu zeigen
wenn du müde wirst.
Denk an mich
und quälen Sorgen dich
dann träum dich heimlich her zu mir
und wo immer du auch sein magst
such mein Bild in dir!
(Raoul)
Täusch ich mich,
kann das Christine sein?
Bravo!!
Lange her, es scheint so lange her
wie jung und scheu war'n ich und sie
möglich das sie mich vergaß
doch ich vergaß sie nie!
(Christine)
Was entsteht, auf dieser Welt, vergeht
und eines Tages geh'n auch wir,
doch Gefühle sind unsterblich,
ich bleib nah
(ahahahaa ahahahaa ahahahahahaaa ah haaa)
bei dir!
(CHRISTINE)
Think of me,
think of me, fondly,
when we say goodby.
Remember 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 find
a moment,
spare a thought
for me...
We ever 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
which 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 time,
think of the things
we'll never do-
there will
never be
a day, when
i won't think
of you...
(RAOUL)
Can it be?
can it be Christine?
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 as unchanging
as the sea-
but please
promise me,
theat sometimes,
you will think
of me!
Beneath the opera-house
you know he's there.
He's with you on the stage,
he's everywhere.
And when your song begins,
you'll always find:
The Phantom of the Opera is there
inside your mind.
Sing once again with him
your strange duet.
His power over you,
grows stronger yet.
You give your love to him
for love is blind.
The Phanton of the Opera is loud
your mastermind.
Those, who have seen his face
draw back in fear.
He is the mask you wear,
its him, they hear.
Your spirit and your voice
in one combined.
The Phantom of the Opera is there
inside your mind. (7x)
[fade out beim 8. Mal]
Christine: You were once my one companion,
you were all that mattered...
You were once a friend and father -
Then my world was shattered!
Wishing you were somehow here again,
wishing you were somehow near...
Sometimes it seemed
if I just dreamed -
Somehow you would be here...
Wishing I could here your voice again,
knowing that I never would.
Dreaming of you
won't help me to do
all that you dreamed I could!
Passing bells and sculpted angels,
cold and monumental,
seem for you the wrong companions:
You were warm and gentle...
Too many years
fighting back tears -
Why can't the past just die?
Wishing you were somehow here again,
knowing we must say Goodbye!
Try to forgive,
teach me to live,
give me the strength to try!
No more memories,
no more silent tears,
no more gazing across the wasted years -
Help me say
Goodbye!

CHRISTINE
Er sang sobald ich schlief,
und kam mir nach...
mir schien, dass er mich rief
und mit mir sprach...
Träum ich denn immer noch?
Ich fühl es hier.
Phantom der Oper.
Du bist mir ganz nah,
Du lebst in mir.
PHANTOM
Komm, sing mit mir heut Nacht
bei Kerzenschein...
dann fängt Dich meine Macht
noch stärker ein.
Und wendest Du den Blick
auch ab von mir-
Phantom der Oper,
das noch keiner sah,
es lebt in Dir.
CHRISTINE
Wer Dein Gesicht je sah,
der fürchtet Dich.
Ich dien als Maske Dir.
PHANTOM
Doch hört man mich...
CHRISTINE & PHANTOM
Dein/Mein Geist
und mein/Dein Gesang-
so wirken wir.
Phantom der Oper,
das noch keiner sah,
es lebt in Dir/mir.
PHANTOM
Du ahnst als Medium
was ist und scheint.
Mensch und Mysterium
CHRISTINE
...in Dir vereint...
CHRISTINE & PHANTOM
Im Labyrinth der Nacht
liegt Dein/mein Revier.
Phantom der Oper,
das noch keiner sah,
es lebt in Dir/mir.
PHANTOM
Sing, mein Engel der Muse!
CHRISTINE
Ganz nah
ist das
Phantom der Oper.
PHANTOM
Sing!
Sing für mich!..
Sing, mein Engel, sing.
Sing für mich!....

Phantom: You have come her,
in pursuit of your deepest urge,
in pursuit of that wish,
which till now has been silent...
Silent...
I have brought you
that our passions may fuse and merge...
In your mind you've already succumbed to me,
dropped all defences, completely succumbed to me,
now you are here with me,
no second thoughts,
you've decided...
Decided...
Past the point of no return -
No backward glances!
The games we've played till now
are at an end...
Past all thought of "if" or "when" -
no use resisting!
Abandon thought and let the dream descend...
What raging fire shall flood the soul,
what rich desire unlocks its door?
What sweet seduction lies before us?
Past the point of no return,
the final threshold...
What warm, unspoken secrets will we learn,
beyond the point of no return?
Christine: You have brought me
to that moment, where words run dry...
To that moment, where speech disappears into silence...
Silence...
I have come here,
hardly knowing ther reason why -
In my mind I've already imagined
our bodies entwining, defenceless and silent,
and now I am here with you,
no second thoughts,
I've decided...
Decided...
Past the point of no return -
No going back now...
Our passion-play has now, at last, begun...
Past all thought of "right" or "wrong" -
One final question:
How long should we two wait, before we're one?
When will the blood begin to race,
the sleeping bud burst into bloom?
When will the flames, at last, consume us?
Phantom and Christine: Past the point of no return,
the final threshold...
The bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn!
We've passed the point of no return!

(PHANTOM)
Bravi, bravi, bravissimi
(MEG)
Where in the world
have you been hiding?
Really, you were
Perfect!
I only wish
I knew your secret!
Who is this new
tutor?
(CHRISTINE)
Father once spoke
of an angel...
I used to dream he'd
appear...
Now as i sing,
I can sense him...
And i know
he's here...
Here in this room
he calls me softly...
somewhere inside...
hiding...
Somehow I know
he's always with me...
he- the unseen
genius...
(MEG)
Christine, you must have
been dreaming...
stories like this can't
come true...
Christine, you're talking
in riddles...
and it's not
like you...
(CHRISTINE)
Angel of Musik!
Guide
and guardian!
Grant ti me your
glory!
(MEG)
Who is this angel?
This...
(BOTH)
Angel of Musik!
Hide
no longer!
Secret and strange
angel...
(CHRISTINE)
He's with me,
even now...
(MEG)
Your hands are cold...
(CHRISTINE)
All around me...
(MEG)
Your face, Christine,
it's white...
(CHRISTINE)
It frightens me...
(MEG)
Don't be frightens...
