歌词
[ORPHEUS]
要是真如他们所说
If it's true what they say
要是真的什么也做不了了
If there's nothing to be done
要是一切都太晚了
If it's true then it's too late
我爱的女孩儿再也回不来了
And the girl I love is gone
要是真如他们所说
If it's true what they say
这世界就是这样的吗？
Is this how the world is?
挨打了，被背叛了，却还告诉我什么也改变不了？
To be beaten and betrayed and then be told that nothing changes?
它会一直这样下去？
It'll always be like this?
要是真如他们所说
If it's true what they say
那我就走吧
I'll be on my way
（旁白）
男孩儿起身要走
[HERMES]
因为他以为没人在听
(spoken)
但我们都知道隔墙有耳
And the boy turned to go
（吟唱）
'Cause he thought no one could hear
工人们听见了他
But everybody knows that walls have ears
要是真如他们所说
(sung)
他们挥舞着锤子
And the workers heard him
何以为人？
他们停下了手头的活儿
[WORKERS]
只是让他转头不看？
If it's true what they say
他们听见了他的歌声
只是让他垂下双手？
[HERMES]
所有锤子都停下了
With their hammers swinging
他的脊梁何以为用
所有锄头都停下了
[WORKERS]
他从来没挺身站起过？
What's the purpose of a man?
他们站起来了，竖起耳朵听着
他转身离大家而去了吗？
[HERMES]
为了这歌唱着的男孩儿
And they quit their workin'
他本可以袖手旁观
要是真如他们所说
[WORKERS]
那我就走吧
Just to turn his eyes away?
但口口声声说真相就是这样的他们究竟是谁？
说谎的人往往就是那些最会庄严宣誓的人啊
[HERMES]
那些捏着骰子的人
When they heard him singing
总说这把掷得公平
那些玩牌的人
[WORKERS]
都在玩牌
Just to throw up both his hands?
那些耍花招的人
手是心非
[HERMES]
我们跟着他们定的规则玩游戏
No hammer swinging
那些张口就来的人
张口就来
[WORKERS]
总说这是最后一把了
What's the use of his backbone
要是没人提问
也就不会有回答
[HERMES]
所以我来问这到底是不是真的
No pickaxe ringin'
我来问我自己，也来问你
你
[WORKERS]
还有你
If he never stands upright?
我相信我们的回答比他们口中的要更重要
我们站起来，我们竖起耳朵听
[HERMES]
我相信有志者
And they stood and listened
事竟成
我们站在他身边
[WORKERS]
我相信事竟成
If he turns his back on everyone?
我相信我们在一起
比得过任何一个人
[HERMES]
我们紧紧站在他身边
To the poor boy singing
我相信我们在一起，就比我们所意识到的更强
我们全听见了
[WORKERS]
我相信我们比他们所意识到的更强
That he could've stood beside
我相信我们是大多数
我相信他们只是少数
[ORPHEUS]
我们站在一起
If it's true what they say
不是为了少数
I'll be on my way
告诉大多数人真相
But who are they to say what the truth is anyway?
我们理解他
'Cause the ones who tell the lies are the solemnest to swear
所以让我问你
And the ones who load the dice
要是真如他们所说
Always say the toss is fair
我们站在一起
And the ones who deal the cards
那我就走吧
我们站在一起
[WORKERS]
告诉我该怎么做
Deal the cards
我们站在一起
这是真的吗？
[ORPHEUS]
他们说的究竟是不是真的？
Are the ones who take the tricks
With their hands over their hearts
While we play the game they fix
And the ones who speak the words
[WORKERS]
Speak the words
[ORPHEUS]
Always say it is the last
And no answer will be heard
To the question no one asks
So I'm askin' if it's true
I'm askin' me and you
And you
And you
I believe our answer matters more than anything they say
[WORKERS]
We stand and listen
[ORPHEUS]
I believe if there is still a will
Then there is still a way
[WORKERS]
We're standing with him
[ORPHEUS]
I believe there is a way
I believe in us together
More than anyone alone
[WORKERS]
We're standing near him
[ORPHEUS]
I believe that with each other, we are stronger than we know
[WORKERS]
We hear him
[ORPHEUS]
I believe we're stronger than they know
I believe that we are many
I believe that they are few
[WORKERS]
We're standing
[ORPHEUS]
And it isn't for the few
To tell the many what is true
[WORKERS]
We understand him
[ORPHEUS]
So I ask you:
If it's true what they say
[WORKERS]
We're standing
[ORPHEUS]
I'll be on my way
[WORKERS]
We're standing
[ORPHEUS]
Tell me what to do
[WORKERS]
We're standing
[ORPHEUS]
Is it true?
Is it true what they say?
