- No Good Deed Lyrics / with translations[spoken] Fiyero!
[sung] Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Let his flesh not be torn
Let his blood leave no stain
Though they beat him
Let him feel no pain
Let his bones never break
And however they try
To destroy him
Let him never die...
Let him never die...
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka: eleka:
What good is this chanting?
I don't even know what I'm reading!
I don't even know what trick I ought to try
Fiyero, where are you?
Already dead, or bleeding?
One more disaster I can add to my
Generous supply?
No good deed goes unpunished
No act of charity goes unresented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
My road of good intentions
Led where such roads always lead
No good deed
Goes unpunished!
Nessa
Doctor Dillamond
Fiyero
Fiyero!!
One question haunts and hurts
Too much, too much to mention:
Was I really seeking good
Or just seeking attention?
Is that all good deeds are
When looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that's all good deeds are
Maybe that's the reason why
No good deed goes unpunished
All helpful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well -
Well, look at what well-meant did:
All right, enough - so be it
So be it, then:
Let all Oz be agreed
I'm wicked through and through
Since I can not succeed
Fiyero, saving you
I promise no good deed
Will I attempt to do again
Ever again
No good deed
Will I do again!

Facts about No Good Deed
✔️
No Good Deed is written by Stephen Lawrence Schwartz.
✔️
When we think about the deeper meaning of the song, stephen Schwartz’s “No Good Deed” is one of the most profound and most difficult songs from the musical “Wicked” known for its elaborate and often comical storyline. The song tries to convey the message that even though doing good deeds may sometimes backfire, this should not stop one from trying to be good, rather, one should just be more careful on how to do it. The singer’s disappointment with the world around him reflects many negative feelings such as despair, angst, heartbreak, anger, and to a certain extent, even understanding. The character in the song invited to self-questioning by the hopelessness and man, doubt, and voicing over in the end resignation to keep silent. With existential questioning as one main theme and the consequences of good deeds as another, the text can be probably termed more suitable for older kids and teenagers. More precisely due to the mention of death and the very profound emotional turmoil further expressed, it might not be appropriate for under-13s without the presence of a parent.
