Promises Of Eternity - The Magnetic Fields

What if the show couldn't
倘若演出无法继续
Go on What if we all got jobs
倘若我们都失去了工作
And got to bed before dawn
黎明未至便已入眠
What if Old Joe had to retire
倘若老乔不得不退休
What if all the stage hands
倘若所有的舞台工作人员
Were let go or fired
都被解雇或辞退
That's just like what the world would be
这世界就会变成这般模样
If you fell out of love with me
倘若你不再爱我
I can't let this happen to you
我怎能忍心看你陷入这般境地
Don't you let it happen to me
也别让这一切降临我身
What would our friends and family say
我们的亲友会作何感想
If they could only see
若他们能亲眼目睹
If you let this happen to us
若你任这厄运将我们拆散
Don't think you'd be setting me free
别以为那是将我解脱
Wasn't it you and I who made
难道不是你我曾立下誓言
Promises of eternity
许诺过永恒不变
What if the lights didn't go on
设想舞台灯光不再亮起
What if the velvet curtain
设想那丝绒幕布
Had to be taken down
不得不缓缓落下
What if the clowns couldn't be clowns
设想小丑无法再扮演小丑
And all those painted smiles
那些画上的笑容
Gave in to plaintive frowns
都变成了哀怨的愁容
What if no show ever happened again
设想演出从此不再上演
No Seven no 8 1/2 no Nine and no 10
没有七 没有八又半 没有九 也没有十
All numbers and no mystery
全是数字 毫无神秘
