《Herbert: The Enchantress - Art is calling for me》歌词

[00:00:00] Art is calling for me - Kiri Te Kanawa (奇里·特·卡娜娃)/London Symphony Orchestra (伦敦交响乐团)/Stephen Barlow

[00:00:01] Lyricist：Not Applicable/Dick Smith

[00:00:03] Composer：Not Applicable/Victor August Herbert

[00:00:05] Producer：Paul Myers

[00:00:06] Mama is a queen and Papa is a king

[00:00:10] So I am a princess and I know it

[00:00:14] But court etiquette is a dull dreary thing

[00:00:18] I just hate it all and I show it

[00:00:22] To sing on the stage that's the one life for me

[00:00:27] My figure's just like Tetrazzini

[00:00:32] I know I'd win fame if I sang in Bohéme

[00:00:36] That opera by Signor Puccini

[00:00:40] I've roulades and the trills

[00:00:44] That would send the cold chills

[00:00:48] Down the backs of all hearers of my vocal frills

[00:01:02] I long to be a prima donna donna donna

[00:01:06] I long to shine upon the stage

[00:01:09] I have the embonpoint

[00:01:11] To become a queen of song

[00:01:13] And my figure would look pretty as a page

[00:01:17] I want to be a screechy peachy cantatrice

[00:01:21] Like other plump girls that I see

[00:01:25] I hate society

[00:01:28] I hate propriety

[00:01:30] Art is calling for me

[00:01:52] I'm in the elite and men sigh at my feet

[00:01:56] Still I do not fancy my position

[00:01:59] I have not much use for the men that I meet

[00:02:03] I quite burn with lyric ambition

[00:02:08] Those tenors so sweet

[00:02:10] If they made love to me

[00:02:13] I'd be a success that I do know

[00:02:17] And Melba I'd oust if I once sang in Faust

[00:02:21] That opera so charming by Gounod

[00:02:25] Girls would be on the brink

[00:02:29] Of hysterics I think

[00:02:32] Even strong men would have to go out for a drink

[00:02:44] I long to be a prima donna donna donna

[00:02:48] I long to shine upon the stage

[00:02:51] With my avoirdupois

[00:02:54] And my tra la la la la

[00:02:55] I would be the chief sensation of the age

[00:03:00] I long to hear them shouting Viva to the Diva

[00:03:03] Oh very lovely that must be

[00:03:07] That's what I'm sighing for

[00:03:10] That's what I'm dying for

[00:03:13] Art is calling for me
