Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
from “A Little Night Music”
Sing By Shayla He, The Lark From the Moon
Ordinary mothers lead ordinary lives 普通的母亲过着平凡的生活
Keep the house and sweep the parlor 维护家里打扫客厅
Mend the clothes and tend the children 修补衣服，照顾孩子
Ordinary mothers, like ordinary wives 普通的母亲，像普通的妻子
Make the beds and bake the pies 铺床烘烤馅饼
And wither on the vine…在葡萄藤上枯萎......
Not mine 不是我的
Dying by inches every night 每晚都以英寸为单位等待死亡
What a glamorous life 多么迷人的生活
Pulled on by winches to recite 由绞车拉扯背诵
What a glamorous life 多么迷人的生活
Ordinary mothers never get the flowers 普通妈妈永远收不到鲜花
And ordinary mothers never get the joys 普通妈妈永远不会得到快乐
But ordinary mothers couldn't cough for hours 但普通妈妈几个小时都不能咳嗽
Maintaining their poise 保持姿态
Sandwiches only 只有三明治
But she eats what she wants when she wants 但她在她想要的时候吃她想要的东西
Sometimes it's lonely 有时真的孤独
But she meets many handsome gallants 但她遇到许多英俊的勇士
Ordinary mothers don't live out of cases 普通母亲活不出固有的框架
But ordinary mothers don't go different places 但普通妈妈不会去不同的地方
Which ordinary mothers can't do 因为普通妈妈做不到
being mothers all day 整天都是妈妈
Mine's away in a play 我的一场戏
And she's realer than they… 她的经纪人比他们......
What if her brooch is only glass 如果她的胸针只是玻璃
And her costumes unravel 她的衣服解开了
What if her coach is second-class 如果她的教练是二等品怎么办
She at least gets to travel 她至少要去旅行
And sometime this summer meaning soon 今年夏天意味着很快
She'll be traveling to me 她会去找我
Sometime this summer maybe June 今年夏天的某个时候可能是六月
I'm the new place she'll see 我是她会看到的新地方
Ordinary daughters may think life is better 普通女儿可能认为生活更美好
With ordinary mothers near them when they choose 与他们选择的普通母亲在他们附近
But ordinary daughters seldom get a letter 但普通的女儿很少收到一封信
Enclosing reviews 附上评论
Gay and resilient, with applause 富有弹性，热烈掌声
What a glamorous life 多么迷人的生活
Speeches are brilliant, if they're Shaw's 演讲很精彩，如果他们是Shaw的话
What a glamorous life 多么迷人的生活
Ordinary mothers needn't meet committees 普通妈妈无需去见委员会
But ordinary mothers don't get keys to cities 但普通的母亲没有打开城市的钥匙
No, ordinary mothers merely see their children all year 不，普通母亲一年只看到自己的孩子
Which is nothing, I hear… 哪个没什么，我听说..
But it does interfere with the glamorous 但它确实用迷惑干扰
I am the princess 我是公主
guarded by dragons Snorting and grumbling and rumbling in wagons… 被龙守卫着，并且在马车里抱怨和隆隆声....
She's in her kingdom, wearing disguises 她披着伪装，在她自己的王国中
leading a life that is full of surprises… 过着充满惊喜的生活......
And sometime this summer 今年夏天的某个时候
she'll come galloping over the green 她会驰骋在绿色的世界
Sometime this summer, to the rescue 今年夏天的某个时候，救援
My mother the queen 我的母亲是女王
Ordinary mothers thrive on being private 普通母亲在私下里茁壮成长
But ordinary mothers somehow can survive it 但普通的母亲不知怎的可以活下去
And ordinary mothers never know they're just standing still 普通母亲从不知道他们只是静止不动
With their kettles to fill 用他们的水壶来填补
While they're missing the thrill Of the glamorous life虽然他们错过了迷人生活的快感
