25 Scottish Songs, Op. 108: No. 16 Could this Ill World Have been Contriv'd歌词

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Ludwig van Beethoven
[00:16.74]Could this ill world have been contriv'd
[00:19.96]to stand without that mischief, woman,
[00:25.74]how peaceful bodies wou'd have liv'd,
[00:29.07]releas'd frae a' the ills sae common!
[00:34.57]But since it is the waefu' case,
[00:38.19]that man must have this teasing crony,
[00:41.49]why such a sweet bewitching face?
[00:47.71]Oh! had they no been made sae bonny!
[01:01.14]I might have roam'd wi' cheerful mind,
[01:04.32]nae sin nor sorrow to betide me,
[01:10.16]as careless as the wand'ring wind,
[01:13.51]as happy as the lamb beside me.
[01:19.26]I might have screw'd my tuneful pegs,
[01:22.75]and carol'd mountain airs fu' gayly,
[01:26.09]had we but wanted a' the Megs,
[01:32.26]wi' glossy e'en sae dark and wily.
[01:45.53]I saw the danger, fear'd the dart,
[01:48.89]the smile, the air, and a' sae taking,
[01:54.66]yet open laid my wareless heart,
[01:58.09]and got the wound that keeps me waking.
[02:03.78]My harp waves on the willow green,
[02:07.27]of wild witch notes it has nae ony,
[02:10.70]sinc' e'er I saw that pawky quean,
[02:17.00]sae sweet, sae wicked, and sae bonny.
