《A puzzlement》歌词

[00:00:00] A puzzlement (谜题) - Yul Brynner/Larry Douglas

[00:00:12] There are times I almost think

[00:00:15] I am not sure of

[00:00:16] What I absolutely know

[00:00:21] Very often find confusion

[00:00:22] In conclusion I concluded long ago

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

[00:00:29] That as a student

[00:00:30] I have studied to procure

[00:00:34] In my head are many facts

[00:00:36] Of which I wish I was more certain

[00:00:40] I was sure

[00:00:45] Is a puzzlement

[00:00:46] What to tell growing son

[00:00:49] What for instance

[00:00:50] Shall I say to him of women

[00:00:53] Shall I educate him on the ancient lines

[00:00:57] Shall I tell the boy as far as he is able

[00:01:01] To respect his wives

[00:01:03] And love his concubines

[00:01:06] Shall I tell him everyone is like the other

[00:01:11] And the better of the two is really neither

[00:01:15] If I tell him this I think he won't believe it

[00:01:19] And I nearly think that

[00:01:22] I don't believe it either

[00:01:26] Shall I join with other nations in alliance

[00:01:30] If allies are weak am I not best alone

[00:01:34] If allies are strong with power to protect me

[00:01:38] Might they not protect me out of all I own

[00:01:43] Is a danger to be trusting one another

[00:01:48] One will seldom want to do what other wishes

[00:01:52] But unless someday

[00:01:53] Somebody trust somebody

[00:01:57] There'll be nothing

[00:01:58] Left on earth excepting fishes

[00:02:04] There are times I almost think

[00:02:06] Nobody sure of what he absolutely know

[00:02:11] Everybody find confusion

[00:02:12] In conclusion he concluded long ago

[00:02:18] And it puzzle me to learn

[00:02:19] That tho' a man may be

[00:02:21] In doubt of what he know

[00:02:25] Very quickly he will fight

[00:02:27] He'll fight to prove that what

[00:02:28] He does not know is so

[00:02:35] Oh sometimes I think

[00:02:39] That people going mad

[00:02:42] Ah sometimes I think

[00:02:46] That people not so bad

[00:02:48] But not matter what I think

[00:02:50] I must go on living life

[00:02:52] As leader of my kingdom

[00:02:53] I must go forth

[00:02:56] Be father to my children

[00:02:57] And husband to each wife

[00:02:59] Etcetera etcetera and so forth

[00:03:03] If my Lord in Heaven Buddha

[00:03:04] Show the way

[00:03:07] Everyday I try to live another day

[00:03:10] If my Lord in Heaven Buddha

[00:03:12] Show the way

[00:03:14] Everyday I do my best for one more day

[00:03:20] But is a puzzlement
