歌词
Once upon a time,
很久以前，
the two greatest circus performers in the world.
有两位世界上最优秀的马戏团演员：
An escapologist,who could escape from any lock that was ever invented,
一位是逃脱大师，他能解开世界上已知的任何一种锁；
and an acrobat,who was so skilled it seemed as if she could actually fly.
一位是杂技演员，她技艺精湛以至于好像真的能飞。
Fell in love and got married.
他们相爱了，然后结婚了。
They performed some of the most incredible stunts together that anyone had ever seen.
他们共同表演了所有人都没见过的、难以置信的特技表演。
And people would come for miles around,kings,queens,celebrities and astronauts.
人们不远万里前来观看表演：国王，女王，名流……还有宇航员！
And not just to see their skills but also to see their love for each other,
人们为精湛的表演鼓掌，也为绝美爱情欢呼。
which was so deep that it was said that cats would purr as they passed them,
他们的爱情浓厚到连路过猫咪都会惊叹！
and dogs would weep with joy.
连路过的狗也会喜极而泣！
They moved into a beautiful old house on the edge of town
他们搬进了小镇边缘一栋漂亮的老房子里。
and in the evenings they would walk and take the air.
每当傍晚，他们会一同散步聊天。
And each night the children of the town would wait in anticipation,
每个夜晚，镇上的孩子们满怀期待地等待
hoping for a glimpse of the shining white scarf that the acrobat always wore.
希望能见到杂技演员经常戴着的闪亮的白围巾。
For then they knew they had only to cry“Tricks tricks!”
那时，他们只需要喊“杂技！杂技！”
And the great performers would instantly oblige with the most spectacular show just for them.
这对伟大的表演家就立刻会为他们呈现的一场华丽的表演。
But although they loved each other,
但是，即使他们深爱着彼此
Although they were famous and everyone loves them,
即使他们拥有盛名并受所有人喜爱
They were sad.
他们也不开心
(We have everything...)
（我们已经有了所有）
“We have everything the would has to offer”says the wife
“我们已经有了世界上的所有，”妻子说。
(We have everything...)
（我们已经有了所有）
“but we do not have the one thing in the would we want most”
“但还缺少我们最想要的一样，
(but the one thing...)
（但还少一样）
“we do not have child”
我们没有孩子。”
(Patience my love...)
（耐心点，亲爱的……）
“Patience my love.”the husband replied,
“耐心点，亲爱的。”丈夫回道。
“time is on our side,even times loves us.”
“我们还有时间。时间也会爱我们。”
Aw Matilda...
啊，玛蒂尔达……
But time is the one thing no-one is master of.
但是时间不会受任何人的掌控。
And as time passed they grew quite old and still they have no child.
时间流逝，他们已经很老了，却还是没有孩子。
At night they listened to the silence of their big empty house
晚上，他们聆听着空荡荡的大房间的寂静
and they would imagine how beautiful it could be
他们会想象要是有声音改多美妙啊
if it is filled with a sounds of a child playing.
要是充满着孩子玩耍的声音……
Matilda,this is very sad.
玛蒂尔达，这太难受了。
Do you want me to stop?
你想让我停下吗?
Don’t you dare!
不怕，继续讲！
Their sadness overwhelmed them and drew them on to ever more dangerous feats.
悲伤让他们不知所措，并且促使着他们进行更危险的活动。
As they work became the only place they could escape the inescapable tragedy of their lives!
工作成为他们唯一能忘掉悲惨生活的的方式。
And so it was they decided to perform the most dangerous feat ever known to man!
这就是为什么他们决定表演一种史无前例的最危险的活动！
“It is called...”
“活动的名字是……”
said the husband,announcing the event to the world’s press,
丈夫说，他向全世界的媒体宣布。
who had gathered to listen with bated breath.
那些人屏住呼吸小心地听。
“The Burning Woman Hurling Through the Air,
“把头发捆着炸药的女人点燃……
with Dynamite in Her Hair,
同时投向空中……
over Sharp and Spiky Objects,
并且越过刀海……
Caught by the Man Locked in a Cage,
被锁在笼子里的男人接住！
and it is the most dangerous feat,ever known to man!”
这将会是史无前例的……最危险的活动！”
“It is our destiny”said the wife ,smiling sadly and slipping her hand into his.
“这是我们的命运。”妻子说，她悲伤地笑着，把自己的手交给丈夫。
“it is where the loneliness of life has led us.”
“这是生活的孤独感带我们所做的选择。”
