《Candide， Act I: ”Glitter and Be Gay” (Cunégonde)》歌词

[00:00:00] Glitter and be gay (Live) - London Philharmonic Orchestra

[00:00:12] Glitter and be gay

[00:00:16] That's the part I play

[00:00:20] Here I am in Paris France

[00:00:28] Forced to bend my soul

[00:00:32] To a sordid role

[00:00:37] Victimized by bitter bitter circumstance

[00:00:44] Alas for me had I remained

[00:00:49] Beside my lady mother

[00:00:51] My virtue had remained unstained

[00:00:57] Until my maiden hand was gained

[00:01:02] By some Grand Duke or other

[00:01:13] It was not to be

[00:01:17] Harsh necessity

[00:01:22] Brought me to this gilded cage

[00:01:31] Born to higher things

[00:01:35] Here I droop my wings

[00:01:38] Ah singing of a sorrow nothing can assuage

[00:01:50] And yet of course I rather like to revel

[00:01:53] Ha ha

[00:01:54] I have no strong objection to champagne

[00:01:57] Ha ha

[00:01:58] My wardrobe is expensive as the devil

[00:02:01] Ha ha

[00:02:01] Perhaps it is ignoble to complain

[00:02:06] Enough enough

[00:02:08] Of being basely tearful

[00:02:11] I'll show my noble stuff

[00:02:13] By being bright and cheerful

[00:03:05] Pearls and ruby rings

[00:03:08] Ah how can worldly things

[00:03:10] Take the place of honor lost

[00:03:13] Can they compensate

[00:03:14] For my fallen state

[00:03:17] Purchased as they were at such an awful cost

[00:03:23] Braceletslavalieres

[00:03:26] Can they dry my tears

[00:03:28] Can they blind my eyes to shame

[00:03:31] Can the brightest brooch

[00:03:32] Shield me from reproach

[00:03:34] Can the purest diamond purify my name

[00:03:40] And yet of course these trinkets are endearing

[00:03:42] Ha ha

[00:03:43] I'm oh so glad my sapphire is a star

[00:03:46] Ha ha

[00:03:47] I rather like a twenty-carat earring

[00:03:49] Ha ha

[00:03:50] If I'm not pure at least my jewels are

[00:03:55] Enough

[00:03:55] Enough

[00:03:57] I'll take their diamond necklace

[00:03:59] And show my noble stuff

[00:04:02] By being gay and reckless

[00:04:32] Observe how bravely I conceal

[00:04:35] The dreadful great shame I feel
