A Cock-Eyed Optimist (From "South Pacific") - Lena Horne
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
When the sky is a bright canary yellow
当天空染上金丝雀般的明黄
I forget ev'ry cloud I've ever seen
所有阴霾都被我抛在脑后
So they called me a cockeyed optimist
他们笑我是死不悔改的乐天派
I'm mature and incurably green
成熟外壳下藏着天真青涩
I have heard people rant
我听过人们歇斯底里
And rave and bellow
咆哮着末日宣言
That we're done and
说我们完蛋了
We might as well be dead
不如早点躺进棺材
But I'm only a cockeyed optimist
但我只是个固执的乐观主义者
And I can't get it into my head
始终无法将悲观装进脑海
I hear the human race
听闻人类文明
Is fallin' on its face
正走向衰败深渊
And hasn't very far to go
前路已所剩无几
But ev'ry whippoor will
可每只夜鹰都在
Is sellin' me a bill
向我兜售谎言
And tellin' me it just ain't so
信誓旦旦说这并非真相
I could say life is
我可以说人生
Just a bowl of Jello
不过是一碗果冻
And appear more intelligent and smart
装作更聪明睿智的模样
But I'm stuck like a **
但我却像被**困住
With a thing called hope
怀抱着名为希望的火种
And I can't get it out of my heart
始终无法将它从心底抹去
No Not this heart
不 这颗心绝不妥协
I hear the human race
听闻人类文明
Is fallin' on its face
正走向衰败深渊
And hasn't very far to go
前路已所剩无几
But ev'ry whippoor will
可每只夜鹰都在
Is sellin' me a bill
向我兜售谎言
And tellin' me it just ain't so
信誓旦旦说这并非真相
I could say life is
我可以说人生
Just a bowl of Jello
不过是一碗果冻
And appear more intelligent and smart
装作更聪明睿智的模样
But I'm stuck like a **
但我却像被**困住
With a thing called hope
怀抱着名为希望的火种
And I can't get it out of my heart
始终无法将它从心底抹去
No Not this heart
不 这颗心绝不妥协
