Candide: Glitter and be gay - London Philharmonic Orchestra (伦敦爱乐乐团)
Glitter and be gay

That's the part I play

Here I am in Paris France

Forced to bend my soul

To a sordid role

Victimized by bitter bitter circumstance

Alas for me had I remained
Beside my lady mother

My virtue had remained unstained
Until my maiden hand was gained
By some Grand Duke or other

It was not to be

Harsh necessity

Brought me to this gilded cage

Born to higher things

Here I droop my wings
Ah singing of a sorrow nothing can assuage

And yet of course I rather like to revel
Ha ha
I have no strong objection to champagne
Ha ha
My wardrobe is expensive as the devil
Ha ha
Perhaps it is ignoble to complain

Enough enough

Of being basely tearful

I'll show my noble stuff

By being bright and cheerful

Pearls and ruby rings

Ah how can worldly things
Take the place of honor lost

Can they compensate
For my fallen state

Purchased as they were at such an awful cost

Braceletslavalieres

Can they dry my tears

Can they blind my eyes to shame

Can the brightest brooch
Shield me from reproach

Can the purest diamond purify my name

And yet of course these trinkets are endearing
Ha ha
I'm oh so glad my sapphire is a star
Ha ha
I rather like a twenty-carat earring
Ha ha
If I'm not pure at least my jewels are

Enough
Enough

I'll take their diamond necklace

And show my noble stuff

By being gay and reckless

Observe how bravely I conceal
The dreadful great shame I feel
