剧本歌词：
The Lonely Goatherd - Maria and the Children 孤独的牧羊人
MARIA (sings)
High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Above the stage, the children work the puppet strings. On stage, goats dance alongside the shepherd.
CHILDREN (singing)
O ho lay dee odl lee o, o ho lay dee odl ay
O ho lay dee odl lee o, lay dee odl lee o lay
MARIA (whispers) Marta! Marta!
Marta unrolls a new backdrop: a castle.
MARIA (whispers) Gretl! The prince!
Gretl shoves a prince puppet onstage.
MARIA (sings)
A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Two bearded male puppets with backpacks walk on.
THE BOYS (singing)
Men on a road with a load to tote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
A curtain rises to show: A beer hall. A puppet carrying many mugs of beer to two men sitting at a table with forks and knives at the ready. Marionette musicians play while marionette customers drink mugs of marionette beer.
THE CHILDREN (singing)
Men in the midst of a table d'hote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
MARIA (sings)
Men drinking beer with the foam afloat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Marta blows the foam from a beer and splashes Maria who coughs. A girl puppet with blonde braids appears to join the shepherd.
MARIA (sings)
One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
BRIGITTA (sings)
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
The blonde girl's bosomy mother appears and pushes the girl to the shepherd.
MARIA (sings)
Soon her Mama with a gleaming gloat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
What a duet for a girl and goatherd
MARIA AND THE CHILDREN (singing)
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Mother and daughter dance with the shepherd. Three couples dance the polka as the band continues to play. Above them, Maria and the children manipulate the puppets with all the consummate skill of professional puppeteers like, oh, for example, Bill and Cora Baird. Max, the Baroness, and the Captain laugh with delight.
MARIA AND THE CHILDREN (singing)
Ummm (ummm) ...
Odl lay ee (odl lay ee)
Odl lay hee hee (odl lay hee hee)
Odl lay ee ...
Maria breaks out into a serious case of yodeling. She sighs, wipes her brow, and signals to Marta for the next backdrop. Onstage, a boy and girl goat replace the shepherd and his girlfriend.
BRIGITTA (sings)
One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
MARIA (sings)
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hoo hoo
BRIGITTA (sings)
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd
LIESL (sings)
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
The girl goat's mother appears and bucks her daughter into the boy goat.
MARIA (sings)
Soon her Mama with a gleaming gloat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hmm hmm
What a duet for a girl and goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
The two goats snuggle and that's all it takes for a baby goat to appear and dance with them. Apparently, the Austrian mountain goat is equipped with some very advanced biological mechanisms.
MARIA AND THE CHILDREN (singing)
Happy are they lay dee olay dee lee o ...
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Soon the duet will become a trio
MARIA (sings)
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
MARIA AND THE CHILDREN (singing)
Odl lay ee, odl lay ee (odl lay ee)
Odl lay hee hee (odl lay hee hee),
Odl lay ee (odl lay ee)
Odl lay odl lay (odl lay odl lay),
Odl lay odl lee (odl lay odl lee)
Odl lay odl lee (odl lay odl lee)
Odl lay odl lay odl lay
THE CHILDREN
Whoo!

这是很多年前就令人沉迷不已的经典音乐，德国轻音乐泰斗詹姆斯拉斯特作曲，罗马尼亚排箫大师Gheorghe Zamfir 演奏。每一次我听它的时候会有一种空灵和孤寂的感觉,不知道您是否会有同感
