[00:00.000] 作曲 : Igor Stravinsky
[00:01.572]Come, master,
[00:02.794]observe the host of mankind.
[00:06.558]How are they? wretched.
[00:09.674]Why? because they are not free.
[00:13.707]Why? because the giddy multitude are driven
[00:18.411]by the unpredictable "Must" of their pleasures.
[00:24.463]And the sober few are bound
[00:28.322]by the inflexible "Ought"
[00:30.960]of their duty.
[00:33.402]Between which slaveries
[00:36.100]there is nothing to choose.
[00:40.431]Would you be happy?
[00:42.320]then learn to act freely.
[00:46.360]Would you act freely?
[00:48.105]then learn to ignore those twin tyrants
[00:53.226]of appetite and conscience.
[00:58.594]Therefore, I counsel you, master:
[01:02.467]Take Baba the Turk to wife.
[01:08.009]Consider her picture once more,
[01:11.395]and, as you do so,
[01:13.985]reflect upon my words.

文本歌词

作曲 : Igor Stravinsky
Come, master,
observe the host of mankind.
How are they? wretched.
Why? because they are not free.
Why? because the giddy multitude are driven
by the unpredictable "Must" of their pleasures.
And the sober few are bound
by the inflexible "Ought"
of their duty.
Between which slaveries
there is nothing to choose.
Would you be happy?
then learn to act freely.
Would you act freely?
then learn to ignore those twin tyrants
of appetite and conscience.
Therefore, I counsel you, master:
Take Baba the Turk to wife.
Consider her picture once more,
and, as you do so,
reflect upon my words.
