《Aldonza》歌词

[00:00:00] Aldonza - Joan Diener Richard Kiley

[00:00:01] My lady

[00:00:02] I am not your lady

[00:00:04] I am not any kind of a lady

[00:00:09] I was spawned in a ditch

[00:00:13] By a mother who left me there

[00:00:16] Naked and cold and too hungry to cry

[00:00:22] I never blamed her

[00:00:24] I'm sure she left hoping

[00:00:27] That I'd have the good sense to die

[00:00:32] Then of course there's my father

[00:00:35] I'm told that young ladies

[00:00:37] Can point to their fathers

[00:00:40] With maidenly pride;

[00:00:43] Mine was some regiment

[00:00:46] Here for an hour

[00:00:49] I can't even tell you which side

[00:00:54] So of course I became

[00:00:56] As befitted my delicate birth

[00:01:02] The most casual bride

[00:01:05] Of the murdering scum of the earth

[00:01:09] And still thou art my lady

[00:01:10] And still he torments me

[00:01:13] How should I be a lady

[00:01:16] For a lady has modest and maidenly airs

[00:01:21] And a virtue I somehow suspect that I lack;

[00:01:26] It's hard to remember these maidenly airs

[00:01:32] In a stable laid flat on your back

[00:01:37] Won't you look at me look at me

[00:01:40] God won't you look at me

[00:01:43] Look at the kitchen slat reeking with sweat

[00:01:48] Born on a dung heap to die on a dung heap

[00:01:53] A strumpet men use and forget

[00:01:58] If you feel that you see me

[00:02:01] Not quite at my virginal best

[00:02:06] Cross my palm with a coin

[00:02:09] And I'll willingly show you the rest

[00:02:13] Never deny thou art Dulcinea

[00:02:16] Take the clouds from your eyes

[00:02:17] And see me as I really am

[00:02:20] You have shown me the sky

[00:02:22] But what good is the sky

[00:02:25] To a creature who'll never

[00:02:28] Do better than crawl

[00:02:31] Of all the cruel bastards

[00:02:33] Who've badgered and battered me

[00:02:37] You are the cruelest of all

[00:02:41] Can't you see what your gentle

[00:02:44] Insanities do to me

[00:02:47] Rob me of anger and give me despair Blows and abuse

[00:02:54] I can take and give back again

[00:02:58] Tenderness I cannot bear

[00:03:03] So please torture me now

[00:03:05] With your "Sweet Dulcineas" no more

[00:03:10] I'm only Aldonza

[00:03:14] I know I'm nothing

[00:03:20] Now and forever thou art my lady Dulcinea
