歌词与中文翻译
[HERMES]
很久之前，有一条铁路线
Once upon a time there was a railroad line
别问我在哪，别问我什么时候
Don't ask where, brother, don't ask when
那是一条通往地狱的路，那时世事艰难
It was a road to Hell! No! It was hard times
那是人与神共处的时代
It was a world of gods and men
那是一曲古老的歌谣
[HERMES and COMPANY]
那是一个古老的故事
It's an old song
那是一首古老的歌
It's an old tale from way back when
但我们还要把它重新唱来
It's an old song
在通往地狱的路上，有一条铁路线
But we're gonna sing it again
有三位老妪，一致的装束
[HERMES]
她们的歌声在你的脑中环绕不绝
Now on the road to Hell there was a railroad line
有请命运三女神
And there were three old women all dressed the same

And they was always singin' in the back of your mind
有个人脚着带翼的飞鞋
Everybody meet the Fates!
他会指引你到最终的目的地
Now on the road to Hell there was a railroad station
赫尔墨斯，那就是我
And a man with feathers on his feet
那是一曲悲伤的歌谣
Who would help you to your final destination
那是一个悲伤的故事
Mr. Hermes - that's me!
那是一曲悲伤的歌谣
[HERMES and COMPANY]
但我们还要它唱出来
It's a sad song
在通往地狱的路上，有一条铁路线
It's a sad tale, it's a tragedy
一位女士走下列车
It's a sad song
手提箱里装满夏日的时光
But we sing it anyway
她是珀耳塞福涅
[HERMES]
在通往地狱的路上，有一条铁路线
Now, on the road to Hell there was a railroad line

And brother, thus begins the tale
主人公是个勇于尝试的人
Of Orpheus and Eurydice!
[HERMES and COMPANY]
It's a love song
It's a tale of a love that never dies
It's a love song
About someone who tries
