《Green Finch and Linnet Bird (From ’Sweeney Todd’)》歌词

[00:00:00] Green Finch and Linnet Bird (From 'Sweeney Todd') - Stephen Sondheim

[00:00:08] Green finch and linnet bird

[00:00:10] Nightingale blackbird

[00:00:12] How is it you sing

[00:00:16] How can you jubilate

[00:00:18] Sitting in cages

[00:00:20] Never taking wing

[00:00:24] Outside the sky waits

[00:00:26] Beckoning beckoning

[00:00:28] Just beyond the bars

[00:00:33] How can you remain staring at the rain

[00:00:36] Maddened by the stars

[00:00:41] How is it you sing anything

[00:00:46] How is it you sing

[00:00:51] Green finch and linnet bird

[00:00:53] Nightingale blackbird

[00:00:55] How is it you sing

[00:00:59] Whence comes this melody constantly flowing

[00:01:03] Is it rejoicing or merely hallooing

[00:01:07] Are you discussing or fussing

[00:01:10] Or simply dreaming

[00:01:14] Are you crowing

[00:01:19] Are you screaming

[00:01:26] Ringdove and robinet

[00:01:28] Is it for wages

[00:01:30] Singing to be sold

[00:01:34] Have you decided it's safer in cages

[00:01:38] Singing when you're told

[00:01:42] My cage has many rooms

[00:01:43] Damask and dark

[00:01:45] Nothing there sings

[00:01:47] Not even my lark

[00:01:51] Larks never will you know

[00:01:53] When they're captive

[00:01:55] Teach me to be

[00:01:58] More adaptive

[00:02:02] Ahhhhhhhh

[00:02:08] Green finch and linnet bird

[00:02:10] Nightingale blackbird

[00:02:12] Teach me how to sing

[00:02:16] If I cannot fly

[00:02:24] Let me sing
