Текст песни
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.
Кунигунда
Сиять и веселиться…
но это всё напускное.
Здесь, в Париже,
я вынуждена играть постылую роль
под гнётом печальных обстоятельств.
Увы! останься я
и при милой моей матушке,
была бы чиста и невинна,
пока не выдали бы меня
за эрц- или другого герцога.
Ah, ‘twas 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.
Ах, не суждено было этому сбыться.
Суровая нужда
привела меня в эту золочёную клетку.
Я рождена летать —
и складываю крылья.
Ах, я пою о неутешимом горе.
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!
Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha!
И всё же, я, конечно, люблю развлекаться,
ха-ха!
Да и не очень-то я против шампанского,
ха-ха!
А гардероб мой чертовски дорог,
ха-ха!
Возможно, мне не пристало жаловаться…
Хватит, хватит лить слёзы,
как какая-нибудь там простушка.
Я явлю своё благородство тем,
что буду весела и приветлива!
Ха-ха-ха-ха-ха! Ха!
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?
Bracelets… Lavallières…
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?
Жемчуга и кольца с рубинами…
Ах, ну как могут эти побрякушки
окупить потерянную честь?
Может ли их бешеная стоимость
быть оправданием
моему падению?
Браслеты… лавальеры…
Что, они осушат мои слёзы?
Заставят забыть про стыд?
А эта яркая брошка
спасёт меня от бесчестья?
Уж не очистит ли моё имя
бриллиант чистейшей воды?
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!
И всё же эти безделушки, конечно, очаровательны,
ха-ха!
До чего я рада, что этот сапфир сияет, как вечерняя звезда,
ха-ха!
Я весьма люблю свои серьги в двадцать каратов,
ха-ха!
Пусть не я, но драгоценности мои — чисты!
Enough! Enough!
I’ll take their diamond necklace
And show my noble stuff
By being gay and reckless!
Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha!
Довольно! Хватит!
Я возьму вон то бриллиантовое колье
и явлю благородство тем,
что буду весела и беззаботна!
Ха-ха-ха-ха-ха! Ха!
Observe how bravely I conceal
The dreadful, dreadful shame I feel.
Ha ha ha ha!
Перевод песни
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.
Cunigund
Shine and have fun ...
But it's all scratigation.
Here in Paris,
I have to play a caught role
under the snack of sad circumstances.
Alas! Stay
And with my mother, Mother,
would be clean and innocent,
until I gave me
For Ertz or other duke.
Ah, 'twas 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.
Ah, was not destined to come true.
Harsh need
He led me to this gilded cell.
I was born flying -
And I put the wings.
Oh, I sing about the tapering grief.
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!
HA HA HA HA! HA!
And yet, I, of course, love to have fun,
Haha!
Yes, and not very much I am against champagne,
Haha!
And my wardrobe is damn roads,
Haha!
Perhaps I was not to complain ...
Enough, enough to pour tears,
How any cracker there.
I will give my own nobility of
What I am fun and friend!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha!
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?
Bracelets ... Lavallières ...
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?
Pearls and rings with rubies ...
Oh, how can these fucking
Empharge lost honor?
Can their mad value
be justified
My fall?
Bracelets ... Lavaliers ...
What do they dry my tears?
Will forget about shame?
And this bright broach
will save me from dishonor?
Will my name clears
Brilliant of the purest water?
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!
And yet these trinkets, of course, are charming,
Haha!
What am I glad that this sapphire shines like an evening star,
Haha!
I quite love my earrings in twenty carats,
Haha!
Let me not, but my jewels are clean!
ENOUGH! ENOUGH!
I'll Take Their Diamond Necklace
And Show My Noble Stuff
By Being Gay and Reckless!
HA HA HA HA! HA!
Pretty! Stop!
I'll take a diamond necklace
and I will tell the nobility
What I am fun and careless!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha!
OBSERVE HOW BRAVELY I CONCEAL
The Dreadful, Dreadful Shame I Feel.
HA HA HA!
