'A Countess from Hong Kong' 香港女伯爵

這位女伯爵並非鄧蓮如,而是蘇菲阿羅蘭。在上個世紀50、60年代,被中國驅逐出境的白俄羅斯政治難民,大多滯留在九龍城的太子酒店,多國都拒絕接收,後來大部份被澳洲收容。如電影中的女主角,能登上了郵船,成功偷渡到美國的,應該就只有由蘇菲阿羅蘭所飾演的這一位女伯爵了。差理卓別靈除了演戲外,還能做導演、作曲兼填詞,不過這部《香港女伯爵》,雖然以香港作為電影的背景提材,對香港人來說,還有印象的,應該算是不太多了。

'This is My Song'
Charles Chaplin's Theme Music for 'A Countess from Hong Kong' 香港女伯爵
Lyrics by Charles Chaplin
Recorded by Petula Clark in 1967

Why is my heart so light,
Why are the stars so bright,
Why is the sky so blue,
Since the hour I met you,

Flowers are smiling bright
Smiling for our delight,
Smiling so tenderly,
For the world, you and me,

I know why the world is smiling,
Smiling so tenderly,
It hears the same old story,
Through all eternity

Love, this is my song,
Here is a song, a serenade to you,
The world cannot be wrong,
If in this world there is you

I care not what the world may say,
Without your love there is no day,
So, love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you

(instrumental interlude and repeat last verse)
