《A Puzzlement》歌词

[00:00:00] A Puzzlement (Bonus Track) (《国王和我》电影插曲) - Robert Merrill

[00:00:05] There are times I almost think

[00:00:08] I am not sure of what I absolutely know

[00:00:13] Very often find confusion

[00:00:15] In conclusion I concluded long ago

[00:00:20] In my head are many facts

[00:00:21] That as a student I have studied to procure

[00:00:27] In my head are many facts

[00:00:28] Of which I wish I was more certain I am sure

[00:00:37] Is a puzzlement

[00:00:38] What to tell growing son

[00:00:40] What for instance shall I say to him of women

[00:00:44] Shall I educate him on the ancient lines

[00:00:48] Shall I tell the boy as far as he is able

[00:00:52] To respect his wives and love his concubines

[00:00:56] Shall I tell him everyone is like the other

[00:01:00] And the better of the two is really neither

[00:01:04] If I tell him this I think he won't believe it

[00:01:09] And I nearly think that I don't believe it either

[00:01:15] When my father was a king

[00:01:17] He was a king who knew exactly what he knew

[00:01:22] And his brain was not a thing

[00:01:23] Forever swinging to and fro and fro and to

[00:01:29] Shall I then be like my father

[00:01:31] And be willfully unmovable and strong

[00:01:36] Or is it better to be right

[00:01:37] Or am I right when I believe I may be wrong

[00:01:46] Shall I join with other nations in alliance

[00:01:51] If allies are weak am I not best alone

[00:01:55] If allies are strong with power to protect me

[00:01:59] Might they not protect me out of all I own

[00:02:03] Is a danger to be trusting one another

[00:02:07] One will seldom want to do what other wishes

[00:02:11] But unless someday somebody trust somebody

[00:02:15] There will be nothing left on earth excepting fishes

[00:02:22] There are times I almost think

[00:02:23] Nobody sure of what he absolutely know

[00:02:28] Everybody find confusion

[00:02:30] In conclusion he concluded long ago

[00:02:35] And it puzzle me to learn

[00:02:36] That tho' a man may be in doubt of what he know

[00:02:41] Very quickly he will fight

[00:02:43] So he fight to prove that what he does not know is so

[00:02:52] Oh h h h h h sometimes I think that people going mad

[00:02:59] Ah h h h h h sometimes I think that people not so bad

[00:03:05] But not matter what I think

[00:03:07] I must go on living life

[00:03:09] As leader of my kingdom I must go forth

[00:03:12] Be father to my children and husband to each wife

[00:03:16] Etcetera etcetera and so forth

[00:03:20] If my lord in heaven Buddha show the way

[00:03:24] Everyday I try to live another day

[00:03:29] If my lord in heaven Buddha show the way

[00:03:33] Everyday I do my best for one more day

[00:03:40] But is a puzzlement
