Gilbert and Sullivan - I Am So Proud [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Pooh-Bah
I am so proud
If I allowed
My family pride
To be my guide
I'd volunteer
To quit this sphere
Instead of you
In a minute or two
But family pride
Must be denied
And set aside
And mortified
And mortified

Ko-Ko
My brain it teams
With endless schemes
Both good and new
For Titipu
For Titipu;
But if I flit
The benefit
That I'd diffuse
The town would lose!
Now every man
To aid his clan
Should plot and plan
As best he can

Pish-Tush
I heard one day
A gentleman say
That criminals who
Are cut in two
Can hardly feel
The fatal steel
And so are slain
Are slain without much pain
If this is true
It's jolly for you;
Your courage screw
To bid us adieu

Pish-Tush. Ko-Ko. Pooh-Bah

Ko-Ko
And so
Although
I'm ready to go
Yet recollect
'Twere disrespect
Did I neglect
To thus effect
This aim direct
So I object —

Pooh-Bah
And so
Although
I wish to go
And greatly pine
To brightly shine
And take the line
Of a hero fine
With grief condign
I must decline

Pish-Tush
And go
And show
Both friend and foe
How much you dare
I'm quite aware
It's your affair
Yet I declare
I'd take your share
But I don't much care

Pish-Tush. Ko-Ko. Pooh-Bah
I'd take your share, So I object — I must decline —
But I don't much care, So I object — I must decline —
I'd take your share
But I don't much care, So I object — I must decline —
I'd take your share
But I don't much care, much care, So I object — I must decline —
I don't much care, So I object — I must decline —
I don't much care, So I object — I must decline —

All Three
To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock
In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock
Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!
To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock
In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock
Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!
A dull, dark dock, a life-long lock
A short, sharp shock, a big black block!
To sit in solemn silence in a pestilential prison
And awaiting the sensation
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!
