Glitter and be gay
珠光宝气 强颜欢笑
That's the part I play
这就是我的角色
Here I am in Paris France
如今我身在巴黎
Forced to bend my soul
被迫扭曲灵魂
To a sordid role
扮演肮脏角色
Victimized by bitter bitter circumstance
被残酷命运无情摧残
Alas for me Had I remained
可叹我若当初
Beside my lady mother
留在母亲身旁
My virtue had remained unstained
我的贞洁曾纤尘不染
Until my maiden hand was gained
直到被贵族公爵玷污
Q some Grand Duke or other
某位大公或权贵
Ah 'twas not to be
啊 终究事与愿违
Harsh necessity
残酷的现实
Brought me to this gilded cage
将我囚入这镀金牢笼
Born to higher things
我本应高贵地活着
Here I droop my wings
在此我垂落双翼
Ah singing of a sorrow nothing can assuage
啊 吟唱着无人能解的哀愁
And yet of course I rather like to revel
但我仍沉醉其中
Ahh

I have no strong objection to champagne
对香槟也毫无抗拒
Ahh

My wardrobe is expensive as the devil
我的衣橱奢华如魔鬼
Ahh

Perhaps it is ignoble to complain
或许抱怨有失体面
Enough enough
够了 够了
Of being basely tearful
何必卑微地泪流满面
I'll show my noble stuff
我要展现高贵品格
By being bright and cheerful
用明媚笑容掩饰一切
Pearls and ruby rings
珍珠与红宝石戒指
Ah how can worldly things
啊 世俗之物怎能
Take the place of honor lost
弥补逝去的尊严
Can they compensate
这些能弥补吗
For my fallen state
我堕落的灵魂
Purchased as they were at such an awful cost
以如此可怕的代价换取
Bracelets lavalieres
华丽的手镯项链
Can they dry my tears
能擦干我的泪吗
Can they blind my eyes to shame
能让我无视羞耻吗
Can the brightest brooch
最璀璨的胸针
Shield me from reproach
请庇护我免受指责
Can the purest diamond purify my name
最纯净的钻石能否洗刷我的污名
And yet of course these trinkets are endearing
但这些小饰物确实惹人怜爱
Ahh

I'm oh so glad my sapphire is a star
我多庆幸我的蓝宝石如星辰闪耀
Ahh

I rather like a twenty-carat earring
我更钟爱那二十克拉的耳坠
Ahh

If I'm not pure at least my jewels are
若我不再纯洁 至少珠宝闪耀如初
Enough enough
够了 够了
I'll take their diamond necklace
我要戴上他们的钻石项链
And show my noble stuff
展现我高贵的伪装
By being gay and reckless
用放浪形骸掩饰悲伤
Observe how bravely I conceal
看我多么勇敢地隐藏
The dreadful dreadful shame I feel
这难以启齿的羞耻与绝望
