Wuthering Heights

Die Anzahl der Versionen des musikalischen Originals (Kate Bush) dieses Monologs, welchen Cathy aus der gleichnamigen literarischen Vorlage von Emily Brontë an ihren Heathcliff richtet, steht der Anzahl der existierenden filmischen Versionen wahrscheinlich in nichts nach.

Zwei der Varianten sollen hier gezeigt werden.
Die erste, ziemlich originalgetreue Kopie kommt von der grossartigen, mittlerweile ihrer angenehmen Schuechternheit etwas entwachsenen neuseelaendischen Saengerin Hayley Westenra (Live, 2004):



Und auch das Ukulele Orchestra of GB stellte eine eigene, wesentlich froehlichere Fassung zur Verfuegung:



Lyrics "Wuthering Heights"

Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.

Bad dreams in the night
You told me I was going to lose the fight,
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights.

Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I´m so cold,
let me in-a-your window

Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I´m so cold,
let me in-a-your window.

Ooh, it gets dark! It gets lonely,
On the other side from you.
I pine a lot. I find the lot
Falls through without you.
I'm coming back, love,
Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream,
My only master.

Too long I roamed in the night.
I'm coming back to his side, to put it right.
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering,
Wuthering Heights,

Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold,
let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold,
let me in-a-your window.

Ooh! Let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
Ooh! Let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
You know it's me--Cathy!

Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I´m so cold,
let me in-a-your window
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home. I´m so cold,
let me in-a-your window.

Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold.
