Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Brecht, Gerrard, Perry
[00:28.49] You saw sagacious solomon
[00:35.29] You know what came of him,
[00:38.35]
[00:42.34] To him complexities seemed plain.
[00:46.66]
[00:49.28] He cursed the hour that gave to birth him
[00:52.96]
[00:55.58] And saw that everything was vain.
[00:59.82]
[01:02.63] How great and wise was solomon.
[01:07.18]
[01:09.61] The world however did not wait
[01:13.24]
[01:17.10] But soon observed what followed on.
[01:20.66]
[01:24.28] Its wisdom that had him brought to this state.
[01:28.95]
[01:30.64] How fortunate the man with none.
[01:34.85]
[02:13.41] You saw courageous caesar next
[02:17.18]
[02:20.36] You know what he became.
[02:24.12]
[02:27.36] They deified him in his life
[02:31.19]
[02:34.25] Then had him murdered just the same.
[02:37.95]
[02:40.57] And as they raised the fatal knife
[02:45.12]
[02:47.56] How loud he cried: you too my son!
[02:53.19]
[02:54.56] The world however did not wait
[02:58.25]
[03:02.05] But soon observed what followed on.
[03:05.92]
[03:08.98] Its courage that had brought him to that state.
[03:14.18]
[03:15.55] How fortunate the man with none.
[03:19.97]
[04:26.36] You heard of honest socrates
[04:30.12]
[04:33.24] The man who never lied:
[04:36.87]
[04:40.31] They werent so grateful as youd think
[04:43.85]
[04:46.97] Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried
[04:52.10]
[04:53.47] And handed him the poisoned drink.
[04:57.84]
[05:00.52] How honest was the peoples noble son.
[05:05.21]
[05:07.58] The world however did not wait
[05:11.94]
[05:15.00] But soon observed what followed on.
[05:19.01]
[05:22.26] Its honesty that brought him to that state.
[05:27.36]
[05:28.54] How fortunate the man with none.
[05:33.36]
[05:43.53] Here you can see respectable folk
[05:47.39]
[05:50.51] Keeping to gods own laws.
[05:54.51]
[05:57.19] So far he hasnt taken heed.
[06:00.45]
[06:04.56] You who sit safe and warm indoors
[06:09.34]
[06:10.52] Help to relieve out bitter need.
[06:15.27]
[06:17.51] How virtuously we had begun.
[06:21.96]
[06:24.58] The world however did not wait
[06:28.46]
[06:31.94] But soon observed what followed on.
[06:35.97]
[06:39.27] Its fear of God that brought us to that state.
[06:44.38]
[06:45.44] How fortunate the man with none.
