《Bernstein: Symphony No. 3 ”Kaddish”: IIIa. Kaddish 3. Scherzo – Presto scherzando， sempre pianissimo》歌词

[00:04:36] 作词 : Leonard Bernstein

[00:04:36] 作曲 : Leonard Bernstein

[00:04:36] I'll take You to Your favorite star.

[00:04:36] A world most worthy of Your creation.

[00:04:36] And hand in hand we'll watch in wonde

[00:04:36] The workings of perfectedness.

[00:04:36] This is Your Kingdom of Heaven, Father,

[00:04:36] Just as You planned it.

[00:04:36] Every immortal cliché intact.

[00:04:36] Lambs frisk. Wheat ripples.

[00:04:36] Sunbeams dance. Something is wrong.

[00:04:36] The light: flat. The air: sterile.

[00:04:36] Do You know what is wrong? There is nothing

[00:04:36] to dream.

[00:04:36] Nowhere to go. Nothing to know.

[00:04:36] And these, the creatures of Your Kingdom,

[00:04:36] These smiling, serene and painless people—

[00:04:36] Are they, too, created in Your image?

[00:04:36] You are serenity, but rage

[00:04:36] As well. I know. I have borne it.

[00:04:36] You are hope, but also regret.

[00:04:36] I know. You have regretted me.

[00:04:36] But not these—the perfected ones:

[00:04:36] They are beyond regret, or hope.

[00:04:36] They do not exist, Father, not even

[00:04:36] In the light-years of our dream.

[00:04:36] Now let me show You a dream to remember!

[00:04:36] Come back with me, to the Star of Regret:

[00:04:36] Come back, Father, where dreaming is real,

[00:04:36] And pain is possible—so possible

[00:04:36] You will have to believe it. And in pain

[00:04:36] You will recognize Your image at last.

[00:04:36] Now behold my Kingdom of Earth!

[00:04:36] Real-life marvels! Genuine wonders!

[00:04:36] Dazzling miracles! ...

[00:04:36] Look, a Burning Bush!

[00:04:36] Look, a Fiery Wheel!

[00:04:36] A Ram! A Rock! Shall I smite it? There!

[00:04:36] It gushes! It gushes! And I did it!

[00:04:36] I am creating this dream! Now

[00:04:36] Will You believe?

[00:04:36] I have You, Father, locked in my dream,

[00:04:36] And You must remain till the final scene ...

[00:04:36] Now! Look up! High! What do You see?

[00:04:36] A rainbow, which I have created for You!

[00:04:36] My promise, my covenant!

[00:04:36] Look at it, Father: Believe! Believe!

[00:04:36] Look at my rainbow and say after me:

[00:04:36] MAGNIFIED ... AND SANCTIFIED ...

[00:04:36] BE THE GREAT NAME OF MAN!

[00:04:36] The colors of my rainbow are blinding, Father,

[00:04:36] And they hurt Your eyes, I know.

[00:04:36] But don't close them now. Don't turn away.

[00:04:36] Look. Do You see how simple and peaceful

[00:04:36] It all becomes, once You believe?

[00:04:36] Believe!

[00:04:36] Believe!
