《Glitter and be gay》歌词

[00:00:00] Candide: Glitter And Be Gay - London Philharmonic Orchestra (伦敦爱乐乐团)

[00:00:14] Glitter and be gay

[00:00:18] That's the part I play

[00:00:22] Here I am in Paris France

[00:00:30] Forced to bend my soul

[00:00:34] To a sordid role

[00:00:38] Victimized by bitter bitter circumstance

[00:00:46] Alas for me had I remained

[00:00:51] Beside my lady mother

[00:00:53] My virtue had remained unstained

[00:00:59] Until my maiden hand was gained

[00:01:04] By some Grand Duke or other

[00:01:15] It was not to be

[00:01:19] Harsh necessity

[00:01:24] Brought me to this gilded cage

[00:01:32] Born to higher things

[00:01:37] Here I droop my wings

[00:01:40] Ah singing of a sorrow nothing can assuage

[00:01:52] And yet of course I rather like to revel

[00:01:55] Ha ha

[00:01:56] I have no strong objection to champagne

[00:01:59] Ha ha

[00:01:59] My wardrobe is expensive as the devil

[00:02:02] Ha ha

[00:02:03] Perhaps it is ignoble to complain

[00:02:08] Enough enough

[00:02:10] Of being basely tearful

[00:02:12] I'll show my noble stuff

[00:02:15] By being bright and cheerful

[00:03:06] Pearls and ruby rings

[00:03:09] Ah how can worldly things

[00:03:12] Take the place of honor lost

[00:03:15] Can they compensate

[00:03:16] For my fallen state

[00:03:18] Purchased as they were at such an awful cost

[00:03:25] Braceletslavalieres

[00:03:27] Can they dry my tears

[00:03:30] Can they blind my eyes to shame

[00:03:32] Can the brightest brooch

[00:03:34] Shield me from reproach

[00:03:36] Can the purest diamond purify my name

[00:03:41] And yet of course these trinkets are endearing

[00:03:44] Ha ha

[00:03:45] I'm oh so glad my sapphire is a star

[00:03:47] Ha ha

[00:03:48] I rather like a twenty-carat earring

[00:03:51] Ha ha

[00:03:52] If I'm not pure at least my jewels are

[00:03:56] Enough

[00:03:57] Enough

[00:03:58] I'll take their diamond necklace

[00:04:01] And show my noble stuff

[00:04:03] By being gay and reckless

[00:04:34] Observe how bravely I conceal

[00:04:37] The dreadful great shame I feel
