願わくばこのまま穏やかなままとはいかねぇもんだろうか meaning?

Question

In episode 3 of Shingeki no Kyojin at 8:30 there is this sentence:

願わくばこのまま穏やかなままとはいかねぇもんだろうか

I tried my hardest but I couldn't understand what it means; can any expert here explain the structures used in 「このまま穏やかなままとはいかねぇもんだろうか」? Thank you very much!

Answer 1

• 願わくば: "Hopefully, ..." see: What conjugation of 願う is 願わくば, and what does it mean here?
• このまま: "like this"; "as it is now"; "at this rate"
• 穏やかなまま: "the calm/peaceful status continues"
• とはいかねぇ: = とはいかない, "won't pass as ～", "cannot expect ～", See: Where does the いかない in ～わけにはいかない come from? and What does 「そうもいかなくて」 mean in this sentence?
  • と: the quotative particle that marks the "content" of the verb 行く. see: Function of と when used with 続く
  • は: the topic particle
  • いかねぇ: = いかない, "will not pass/go"
• もん: adds the meaning of "the way it should be", see: The meanings of ものだ and Alternative meaning of ものか
• だろうか: "I wonder if ～", see: だろう in question context?

願わくば「このまま穏やかなまま」とはいかねぇもんだろうか?

(literally) Hopefully, I wonder if it should not go like things stay calm as it is now?

I wonder if I can expect everything will stay as calm as now?
