In Praise of Women首先声明我只把这部戏当肥皂剧看所以任何可能冒犯到某些人的台词大家请笑笑就过去吧。。
这首歌的歌词很隐晦所以有必要提一下前情:
男主发现女主到他住的镇上来演出,就跑去想,额,叙旧,女主的现情人正好也来找女主,男主找了个借口说我是她妈老人家的律师我是来找她签些重要的法律文件的,于是相当和平地被踢出去了。。
然后头脑不发达的现情人同学回到自己家越琢磨越不对味儿。。
(more...)
歌词
[CARL-MAGNUS](女主的现任情人,是个军人/贵族,但是似乎比较的那么头脑简单五肢发达。。Charlotte是他正房老婆)
She wouldn't...therefore they didn't...
So then it wasn't...not unless it...would she?
She doesn't...
God knows she needn't...therefore it's not.
He'd never...therefore they haven't...
Which makes the question absolutely...could she?
She daren't...therefore I mustn't...what utter rot!
Fidelity is more than mere display;
It's what a man expects from life.
Fidelity like mine to
Desiree
And Charlotte, my devoted wife.
The papers...he mentioned papers,
Some legal papers which I didn't see there.
Where were they, the goddamn papers she had to sign?
What nonsense!
He brought her papers,
They were important, so he had to be there.
I'll kill him!...
Why should I bother?
The woman's mine!
Besides, no matter what one might infer,
One must have faith to some degree.
The least that I can do is trust in her
The way that Charlotte trusts in me.
Capable, pliable
Women, women...
Understanding and reliable,
Knowing their place.
Insufferable, yes, but gentle,
Their weaknesses are incidental.
A functional but ornamental
Race.
Durable, sensible
Women, women...
Very nearly indispensable
Creatures of grace.
God knows the foolishness about them,
But if one had to live without them,
The world would surely be a poorer,
If purer,
Place.
The hip-bath...about that hip-bath...
How can you slip and trip into a hip-bath?
The papers...where were the papers?
Of course, he might have taken back the papers.
She wouldn't...therefore they didn't...
The woman's mine!
She wouldn't...therefore they didn't...
So then it wasn't...not unless it...would she?
She doesn't...
God knows she needn't...therefore it's not.
He'd never...therefore they haven't...
Which makes the question absolutely...could she?
She daren't...therefore I mustn't...what utter rot!
Fidelity is more than mere display;
