if everyone was listening
The actors and jesters are here,
演員與小丑們
The stage is in darkness and clear
黑暗中的舞台空蕩蕩的
For raising the curtain
等待著帷幕升起
and no-one's quite certain whose play it is.
沒人知道這次是誰的表演
How long ago, how long?
在多久,多久以前
If only we had listened then.
如果那時我們用心听就好了
If we'd known just how right we were going to be.
如果那時我們就知道,現在的自己會是什麼模樣
For we dreamed a lot
我們幻想過
And we schemed a lot
我們編排過
And we tried to sing of love before the stage fell apart.
在舞台支離破碎之前,我們還試著去歌頌愛情
If Everyone was listening, you know
如果每個人都在聽
There'd be a chance that we could save the show,
那我們還有機會為這齣鬧劇收場
Who'll be the last clown
誰會是最後一個
To bring the house down?
贏得掌聲的小丑
Oh no, please no, don' t let the curtain fall.
哦不,不,千萬不要落幕
Well, what is your costume today?
你今天的戲服是什麼樣的
And who are the props in your play?
你的配角是誰
You're acting a part which you thought from the start
你覺得你從開始表演的那部分
was an honest one.
是最真實的
Well how do you plead?
你會如何申辯
An actor indeed!
徹頭徹底的演員
Go re-learn your lines,
再看一遍你的台詞
You don't know what you've done.
你都不知道你做了些什麼
The finale's begun.
終曲已經奏響
If Everyone was listening, you know
如果每個人都在聽
There'd be a chance that we could save the show,
那我們還有機會為這齣鬧劇收場
Who'll be the last clown
誰會是最後一個
To bring the house down?
贏得掌聲的小丑
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall.
哦不,不,千萬不要落幕
