There are times I almost think
有时我几乎怀疑
I am not sure of what I absolutely know
自己确信的一切是否真实
Very often find confusion
常常陷入困惑迷惘
In conclusion I concluded long ago
最终结论早已注定
In my head are many facts
脑海中堆积着无数知识
That as a student I have studied to procure
作为学子苦读求索而来
In my head are many facts
脑海中堆积着无数知识
Of which I wish I was more certain I was sure
却渴望能更加笃定确信
Is a puzzlement
困惑难解
What to tell growing son
该如何教导成长中的儿子
What for instance shall I say to him of women
譬如该怎样向他讲述女性
Shall I educate him on the ancient lines
是否该用古老训诫来教育他
Shall I tell the boy as far as he is able
是否该告诉这孩子尽己所能
To respect his wives and love his concubines
尊重正妻而爱慕侧室
Shall I tell him everyone is like the other
是否该说众生皆相似
And the better of the two is really neither
二者相较 实无高下
If I tell him this I think he won't believe it
若我坦言相告 他恐怕难以置信
And I nearly think that I don't believe it either
就连我自己 也几近动摇不定
Shall I join with other nations in alliance
是否该与诸国缔结同盟
If allies are weak am I not best alone
若盟友孱弱 孤军奋战岂非更佳
If allies are strong with power to protect me
若盟友强盛 足以护我周全
Might they not protect me out of all I own
可会借守护之名 将我一切剥夺
Is a danger to be trusting one another
彼此信任是否暗藏危机
One will seldom want to do what other wishes
人心难同 鲜少如愿相契
But unless someday somebody trust somebody
除非某天有人愿意相信他人
There'll be nothing left on earth excepting fishes
否则世上将只剩鱼群游弋
There are times I almost think
有时我几乎怀疑
Nobody sure of what he absolutely know
无人能确信所知皆为真理
Everybody find confusion
众生皆陷困惑迷雾
In conclusion he concluded long ago
最终仍困于早年的定论里
And it puzzle me to learn
最令我费解的是
That tho' a man may be in doubt of what he know
明知存疑却仍要笃定前行
Very quickly he will fight
他很快会挺身而战
He'll fight to prove that what he does not know is so
为证明未知的真相而战
Oh sometimes I think that people going mad
啊 有时我觉得人们正在疯狂
Ah sometimes I think that people not so bad
啊 有时又觉得人们没那么糟
But not matter what I think I must go on living life
但无论怎样 我都必须继续生活
As leader of my kingdom I must go forth
作为我的王国领袖 我必须前行
Be father to my children and husband to each wife
做孩子的父亲 做妻子的丈夫
Etcetera etcetera and so forth
诸如此类 如此这般
If my Lord in Heaven Buddha show the way
若我主佛陀在天指引方向
Everyday I try to live another day
每日我挣扎着多活一天
If my Lord in Heaven Buddha show the way
若我主佛陀在天指引方向
Everyday I do my best for one more day
每日我竭尽全力多撑一天
But is a puzzlement
但这终究是难解之谜
