歌词
"Did you ever sit and ponder,
[offset:0]
你们有没有坐下思考
Sit and wonder, sit and think,
感到疑惑 ，静静思考
Why we're here and what this life is all about?
我们为什么在这里 ，生活为什么如此这般
It's a problem that has driven
这个问题让
Many brainy men to drink,
无数聪明人喝酒买醉
It's the weirdest thing they've tried to figure out.
这是最最奇怪的事情，他们都想弄清楚
About a thousand diff'rent theories
科学家们可以展示
All the scientists can show,
上千种不同的理论
But never yet have proved a reason why
但从未证明这是为什么
With all we've thought
通过我们所想的
And all we're taught,
和我们被教导的
Why all we seem to know,
为什么我们似乎只了解
Is we're born, and live a while and then we die.
我们降生 ，我们活着，然后我们步入死亡
Refrain 1
Life's a very funny proposition after all,
人生真是一个可笑的命题
Imagination, jealousy, hypocrisy and all.
.想象、妒忌、伪善和其他一切
Three meals a day, a whole lot to say;
一天三餐 有很多话要说
When you haven't got the coin you're always in the way.
当你一贫如洗 你就不受欢迎
Ev'rybody's fighting as we wend our way along,
大家都在各自的路上抗争
Ev'ry fellow claims the other fellow's in the wrong;
大家都宣称其他人都是错误的
Hurried and worried until we're buried and there's no curtain call.
匆忙、焦虑 直到我们死亡 连谢幕都没有
Life's a very funny proposition after all.
人生真是一个可笑的命题
Verse 2
When all things are coming easy, and when luck is with a man,
当一切随手可得 当幸运伴随他身边
Why then life to him is sunshine ev'rywhere;
为什么 这时人生于他到处充满了阳光
Then the fates blow rather breezy and they quite upset a plan,
然后命运轻轻波动 计划充满了不安
Then he'll cry that life's a burden hard to bear.
这时他就会哭诉人生是一种负担 他已无力承担
Though today may be a day of smiles, tomorrow's still in doubt,
尽管今天欢声笑语 明天可能充满了怀疑
And what brings me joy, may bring you care and woe;
带给我快乐的事 也许带给你烦恼和痛苦
We're born to die, but don't know why, or what it's all about,
人生注定一死 毫无道理 也不明白是怎么一回事
And the more we try to learn the less we know.
想要了解的越多 我们知道的就越少
Refrain 2
Life's a very funny proposition, you can bet,
人生真是一个可笑的命题
And no one's ever solved the problem properly as yet.
这是当然的 没人解决的问题
Young for a day, then old and gray;
年轻只是一时 随后便老死
Like the rose that buds and blooms and fades and falls away,
就像玫瑰含苞 然后怒放 最终褪色凋谢
Losing health to gain our wealth as through this dream we tour.
以健康换取财富 好像在梦里经历
Ev'rything's a guess and nothing's absolutely sure;
万事都是猜测 没有什么绝对确定
Battles exciting and fates we're fighting until the curtain falls.
令人兴奋的战争 反抗命运 直到谢幕那一刻
Life's a very funny proposition after all.
