歌词
[HERMES]
Mmm...
[Chorus]
Mmm...
[HERMES]
Mmhm...
很久很久以前有一条铁路线
别问我在哪，兄弟，也别问我那是什么时候
[Chorus]
那是通向冥界的道路，那时世道艰难
Mmhm...
那个世界属于诸神……和凡人！
这是首古老的歌谣
[HERMES]
这是首古老的歌谣！
Chugga chugga chugga chugga
这是一个古老的神话
这是首古老的歌谣
[HERMES and Chorus]
这是首古老的歌谣！
Chugga chugga chugga chugga
我们要再把它唱一遍
Chugga chugga chugga chugga
神明和凡人，准备好了吗？
今晚上这里来了几位天神！
[HERMES]
在通往冥府的铁路线上
Once upon a time there was a railroad line
有三位老妪，一样的打扮
Don't ask where, brother, don't ask when
她们的歌声总在你的脑子里回旋
It was the road to Hell, it was hard times
这是命运女神！
It was a world of gods...and men!
（命运女神鞠躬）
在通往冥府的铁路线上
It's an old song
有位夫人走下了火车
她的手提箱里盛满了夏日的时光
[Chorus]
她叫珀耳塞福涅！
It's an old song!
（珀耳塞福涅鞠躬）
如果你乘上那列车
[HERMES]
乘上那列车
It's an old tale from way back when
如果你乘上那列车
It's an old song
乘上那列车
如果你乘上那列车直到终点
[Chorus]
那里没有阳光，阴霾密布
It's an old song!
你会看到矿山的王者
伟大的哈迪斯王！
[HERMES]
（哈迪斯鞠躬）
And we're gonna sing it again
还有其他神吗？
噢，差点忘了
Gods and men, a'ight?
在通往冥府的铁路线上有一个车站
We got some gods in the house tonight!
那有一个鞋上长着翅膀的男人
他能陪伴你最后的旅程
See, on the road to Hell there was a railroad line
那就是我，赫尔墨斯！
And there were three old women all dressed the same
（赫尔墨斯鞠躬）
And they was always singin' in the back of your mind
得有人来讲故事
Everybody meet the Fates!
无论故事的结局如何
也许这次会有好结果呢
(FATES bow)
在冥府之路上
在这条铁路上
[HERMES]
这是首悲伤的歌谣
And on the road to Hell there was a railroad line
这是首悲伤的歌谣！
And a lady steppin' off a train
这是个悲伤的故事，这是场悲剧
With a suitcase full of summertime
这是首悲伤的歌谣
Persephone, by name!
这是首悲伤的歌谣！
但无论如何，我们都会再唱一遍
(PERSEPHONE bows)
不可能人人都是神明
别忘了世道艰难
And if you ride that train
人们生活困苦
让我介绍他们中的一些人
[Chorus]
你可以抬帽示意，再给些小费
You ride that train
兄弟姐妹们
这是在全能诸神掌握的世界中
[HERMES]
辛苦劳动的歌队！
If you ride that train
（歌队鞠躬）
他们的重负与你不同
[Chorus]
看看这些人能做什么！
You ride that train
（赫尔墨斯介绍乐队）
行了
[HERMES]
行了
If you ride that train to the end of the line
行了
Where the sun don't shine and it's always shady
冥府之路上有一条铁路
It's there you'll find the king of the mine
有个穷小子在为一首歌奔忙
Almighty Mr. Hades!
他的妈妈是我的好友
(HADES bows)
他是缪斯的儿子
在通往冥府的铁路上
[HERMES]
你也许觉得这个男孩有些疯狂
We got any other gods?
Oh, right, almost forgot...
这是因为他受到了诸神的感化
欢迎俄耳甫斯！
On the road to Hell there was a railroad station
（俄耳甫斯没注意到这个提示）
And a man with feathers on his feet
俄耳甫斯！
Who could help you to your final destination
（俄耳甫斯鞠躬）
Mr. Hermes, that's me!
在这条路上还有一个人
那是从寒冷中逃出来的女孩
(HERMES bows)
在通往冥府的铁路上
有一个总在找食物填饱肚子的女孩
[HERMES]
兄弟们，我们开始讲俄耳甫斯和欧律狄刻的故事！
See, someone's got to tell the tale
这是一首关于爱的歌谣
Whether or not it turns out well
这是一首关于爱的歌谣！
Maybe it will turn out this time
这是古老的爱情故事
On the road to Hell
这是一首悲伤的歌谣
On the railroad line
这是一首悲伤的歌谣！
It's a sad song
即使这样，我们还要再唱一遍
这是一首古老的歌谣
[Chorus]
这是一首古老的歌谣
It's a sad song!
这是一个古老的神话
我们还要
[HERMES]
我们还要
It's a sad tale, it's a tragedy
我们还要再唱一遍！
It's a sad song
[Chorus]
It's a sad song!
[HERMES]
We're gonna sing it anyway
Now, not everyone gets to be a god
And don't forget that times are hard
Hard times in the world of men
Let me introduce you to a few of them
You can tip your hats and your wallets
Brothers and sisters, boys and girls
To the hardest working Chorus
In the gods' almighty world!
(CHORUS bows)
[HERMES]
And workin' just as hard for you
Let's see what this crew can do!
(HERMES introduces the band. Band break. COMPANY applauds)
[HERMES]
A'ight!
A'ight!
A'ight!
On the road to Hell there was a railroad line
And a poor boy workin' on a song
[ORPHEUS]
La la la la la la...
[HERMES]
His mama was a friend of mine
And this boy was a muse's son
On the railroad line on the road to Hell
You might say the boy was touched
[ORPHEUS]
La la la la la la...
[HERMES]
Cause he was touched by the gods themselves!
Give it up for Orpheus!
(ORPHEUS misses the cue)
[HERMES]
Orpheus!
(ORPHEUS bows)
[HERMES]
There was one more soul on this road
Girl, come on in from the cold!
On the railroad line on the road to Hell
There was a young girl looking for something to eat!
And brother, thus begins the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice!
It's a love song
[Chorus]
It's a love song!
[HERMES]
It's a tale of a love from long ago
It's a sad song
[Chorus]
It's a sad song!
[HERMES]
But we're gonna sing it even so
It's an old song
[Chorus]
It's an old song!
[HERMES]
It's an old tale from way back when
And we're gonna sing
[HERMES and Chorus]
We're gonna sing
We're gonna sing it again!
[HERMES]
Again!
Again!
