Pass Away (LP版) - Chuck Berry (查克·贝里)[00:00:00]

Once in Persia reigned a king[00:00:05]

Who upon his royal ring[00:00:09]

Carved these words so true and wise[00:00:13]

Which when held before his eyes[00:00:18]

Gave him counsel at a glance[00:00:21]

Of his life of changing chance[00:00:25]

Solemn words and these are they:[00:00:29]

"Even this shall pass away"[00:00:32]

Trains of camels through the sand[00:00:41]

Brought him gems from Samarkand[00:00:45]

Fleets of galleys through the sea[00:00:49]

Brought him pearls to match with thee[00:00:52]

But he counted not his gain[00:00:57]

Nor his treasure mine or main[00:01:00]

"What is wealth " the king would say [00:01:04]

"Even this shall pass away"[00:01:07]

In the revel of his court [00:01:16]

At the zenith of his sport[00:01:20]

When the palms of all his guests[00:01:23]

Burned with clapping at his zest[00:01:26]

He among his figs and wine[00:01:30]

Would cry "Oh loving friends of mine[00:01:34]

Pleasures may come but they cannot stay [00:01:39]

Like even this shall pass away "[00:01:45]

The most beautiful woman ever seen[00:01:54]

Was the bride he chose his queen[00:01:57]

Pillowed on their royal bed [00:02:01]

Whispering to her soul he said:[00:02:04]

"Though a bridegroom never pressed[00:02:08]

Dearer bosom to his chest[00:02:11]

But mortal flesh must come to clay[00:02:16]

And even these shall pass away"[00:02:21]

Towering over the village square [00:02:30]

Thirty meters in the air[00:02:34]

Rose his statue carved in stone [00:02:37]

As the king stood there alone[00:02:41]

Gazing at his sculptured name [00:02:45]

Said to himself "So what is fame [00:02:49]

Fame it's but slow decay [00:02:54]

Even this shall pass away"[00:02:58]

Fighting furiously on a battlefield [00:03:08]

Once a javelin pierced his shield[00:03:12]

Soldiers with a loud lament[00:03:16]

Bore him bleeding to his tent[00:03:19]

Groaning from his tortured side [00:03:24]

"Pain is hard to bear" he cried[00:03:28]

"Oh but with patience day by day [00:03:32]

Even this shall pass away"[00:03:37]

Sick and sore with cancer; weak and tired and old [00:03:44]

Just minutes yet to go to pass the gates o' gold[00:03:50]

Spake he with his dying breath [00:03:57]

"Life is done so what is death "[00:04:01]

Then in answer to the king[00:04:06]

Fell a sunbeam on his ring[00:04:09]

Reflecting words he failed to say:[00:04:12]

"Even this shall pass away"[00:04:16]
