A Cock-Eyed Optimist - Mary Martin/Eddie Duchin/Allan Jones/Mantovani

Written by：Oscar Hammerstein II/RICHARD RODGERS

When the skies are brighter canary yellow

当天空透出淡黄色的微光

I forget every cloud I've ever seen

我便忘记了之前的层层乌云

So they called me a cockeyed optimist

所以他们都称我为盲目的乐天派

Immature and incurably green

未经世事 年少无知

I have heard people rant and rave and bellow

我听到人们声嘶力竭 大喊大叫

That we're done and we might as well be dead

我知道我们完蛋了 可能死定了

But I'm only a cockeyed optimist

但我只是个盲目的乐天派

And I can't get it into my head

我实在无法理解

I hear the human race

我听到人类

Is falling on its face

全都跌倒在地

And hasn't very far to go

甚至还未走远

But every whippoorwill

但每只夜鹰

Is selling me a bill

都在向我诉说

And telling me it just ain't so

告诉我事实并非如此

I could say life is just a bowl of Jello

我想说 生活只是一杯果冻

And appear more intelligent and smart

我看似聪明伶俐

But I'm stuck like a dope

却像个傻瓜一样进退两难

With a thing called hope

只有希望留在心间

And I can't get it out of my heart

我无法将它从我心中抹去

Not this heart

无法抹去
