歌词
There's a face that we wear
人人都有副假面孔
In the cold light of day -
用在光天化日之下——
It's society's mask,
那是上流社会的面具
It's society's way,
那是上流社会的规矩
And the truth is
然而真相却是
That it's all a facade!
这一切都是假象！
There's a face that we hide
人人都有副隐藏的面孔
Till the nighttime appears,
直到夜幕降临才会派上用场
And what's hiding inside,
而隐藏其中的
Behind all of our fears,
在恐惧背后的
Is our true self,
是我们真实的模样
Locked inside the facade!
是被假象囚禁的真相！
Every day
每一天
People, in their own sweet way,
人们都自行其是
Like to add a coat of paint,
热衷于粉饰自己
And be what they ain't!
假扮他们成为不了的人！
That's how our little -
那就是我们可爱的——
Game is played,
游戏规则
Livin' like a masquerade
虚伪地活着
Actin' a bizarre charade -
用着拙劣的伪装
While playing the saint!
假扮圣人的模样
But there's one thing I know,
有件事我心知肚明
And I know it for sure:
而且相当肯定
This disease that we've got
我们身上这装腔作势的顽疾
Has got no ready cure!
早就没救了！
And I'm certain
我坚信
Life is terribly hard -
（你的）人生将会困难重重
When your life's a facade!
如果它只是场假象！
Look around you!
看看周围！
I have found
我发现
You cannot tell, by lookin' at the surface,
如果只看表象，你无从知晓
What is lurkin' there beneath it!
潜伏在底下的到底是什么！
See that face!

Now, I'm prepared to bet you,
我敢和你打赌
What you see's not what you get -
眼见未必为实——
'Cause man's a master of deceit !
因为人可都是谎言大师！
So, what is the sinister secret?
那不可告人的秘密究竟是什么？
The lie he will tell you is true? -
别人讲的话到底是真是假？——
It's that each man you meet
会不会每一个
On the street
和你在大街偶遇的
Isn't one man but two!
其实都是双面人！
Nearly everyone you see -

Like him an' her,

Who shudders at the thought
甚至因为想到
Of notoriety!
“臭名昭著”四个字就浑身发抖！
The ladies an' gents 'ere before you -

Which none of 'em ever admits -
尽管他们都不会承认但——
May 'ave saintly looks -

这一切都是假象！
Is it's all a facade!
这一切都是假象！
Man is not one, but two,

We'd all cross if we could!
但如果可能人人都会越界！
It's a nightmare
这是一场噩梦
We can never discard
无人可以退场
So we stay on our guard
所以我们要时时提防
Though we love the facade
即便我们迷恋假象
What's behind the facade?
假象背后是什么？
Look behind the facade!
好好看看去吧！
