나의 장부, 나의 눈물 (My Ledger, My Tears)
A dramatic and theatrical soprano aria depicting a character with a split personality. The music sharply alternates between two contrasting styles: a slow, sorrowful, and lyrical lament featuring a weeping solo viola, and a fast, manic, and rhythmic section with staccato woodwinds, representing a cold business calculation. The aria builds to a frantic climax where both themes collide. Music for a scene of intense psychological conflict. A female soprano sings about her lost love with genuine sadness, but is constantly interrupted by her own cold, ambitious thoughts, which manifest as a rapid, precise, coloratura-like business report. The aria explores the theme of love versus ambition, grief versus pragmatism.

Production Notes
Bertolt Brecht's "The Threepenny Opera" is a landmark of 20th century theatre, a sharp musical satire on bourgeois hypocrisy and capitalist society. The aria "My Ledger, My Tears" is placed in the middle of the story, after the anti-hero Macheath has been arrested and his new wife, Polly, has taken command of his criminal gang. The song itself is a dramatic showcase of her transformation, as two conflicting melodies a sorrowful lament for her husband and a rapid-fire business report on the gang's profits collide to reveal her internal schism between love and ambition, culminating in a chilling synthesis of her father's cold capitalism and her husband's criminality.
베르톨트 브레히트의 '서푼짜리 오페라'는 부르주아 사회의 위선을 신랄하게 풍자한 20세기 독일의 기념비적인 음악극입니다. 아리아 "나의 장부, 나의 눈물"은 주인공 매키 매서가 체포된 후, 그의 아내 폴리가 범죄 조직을 이끌게 되는 극의 중반부에 위치합니다. 이 노래는 남편을 향한 슬픔을 노래하는 서정적인 멜로디와 갱단의 수익을 계산하는 빠르고 냉정한 비즈니스 보고가 충돌하며, 사랑과 야망 사이에서 벌어지는 폴리의 내적 분열을 극적으로 보여주고, 결국 아버지의 냉혹한 자본주의와 남편의 범죄성을 결합한 소름 끼치는 인물로 변모하는 과정을 담아냅니다.
한국어
오, 나의 매키, 나의 사랑
차가운 감옥 벽 너머로
내 노래가 들리나요
그리움에 잠 못 드는 이 밤
당신의 빈자리는 이리도 큰데
세상은 멈추지 않고 돌아가네요
우리의 짧았던 맹세, 그 뜨거웠던 입맞춤
모두 한낱 꿈이었나요
화요일엔 선박 강도, 수입은 200 파운드
목요일엔 은행 습격, 예상 수익 500 파운드
매튜는 배신 가능성, 제거 비용 10 파운드
경찰청장 뇌물 지급, 지출 총액 50 파운드
수익률은 15% 상승, 아주 훌륭해
모든 것이 당신의 계획대로, 차질은 없어요, 자기.
아, 보고 싶어요, 당신의 그 미소…
다음 주 목표는 보석상!
나의 사랑!…수익은 800!
나의 운명!…비용은 20!
어떻게든 당신을 꺼낼게요!
그 편이 사업에 이로우니까.
그 편이 사업에 이로우니까.

Oh, my Mackie, my love,
Beyond the cold prison walls,
Can you hear my song?
On this night, sleepless with longing.
Your absence is so vast,
And yet, the world keeps turning.
Our fleeting vows, that passionate kiss…
Was it all merely a dream?
Tuesday, a ship robbery, income: two hundred pounds.
Thursday, a bank raid, projected profit: five hundred pounds.
Matthew, a potential traitor, elimination cost: ten pounds.
Bribe paid to the Chief of Police, total expenditure: fifty pounds.
The profit margin is up fifteen percent, simply excellent.
Everything is according to your plan, no setbacks, my dear.
Ah, I miss your smile…
Next week's target: the jewelers!
My love!... Profit: eight hundred!
My destiny!... Expenses: twenty!
I will get you out of there, no matter what!
Because it would be better for business.
Because it would be better for business.
