歌词与中文翻译
Gentles, perchance you wonder at this show;
先生们，也许你们对故事很好奇
But wonder on, till truth make all things plain.

This man is Pyramus, if you would know;

This beauteous lady Thisby is certain.

By moonshine did these lovers think no scorn

Met at a tomb to woo by pale moonlight.
以午夜之月见证他们的婚誓
This grisly beast, which Lion hight by name,
不巧，来了一头凶狠的畜生
The trusty Thisby, coming first by night,
撞见了先来一步的提斯比
Did scare away, or rather did affright...
可怜的提斯比吓得魂飞魄散
If we offend, we've got good will,
请原谅我们的冒犯，我们只是为了表演
If we are crude, our measure's plain
若觉得表演粗鄙，也敬请原谅
Our true intent is your delight
一切只为您的开怀一乐
It's merry, tragical and brief...
用一个渺小的可悲故事
Oh Pyramus...Pyramus...loved Thisby

And as she fled, her mantle she did fall,
提斯比死里逃生，不慎落下了披风
Which Lion vile with bloody mouth did stain,

Anon comes Pyramus, sweet youth, and tall,
不久后，修长俊美的皮拉莫斯如约而至
And finds his trusty Thisby's mantle slain,
发现了被野兽撕碎的披风
Da da da da da da da da da da
一切都在命运的安排下上演了
Whereat with blade, with bloody blameful blade,“
利剑何在？”锋利的剑在他手里倒映着罪恶的光
He bravely broach'd his boiling bloody breast,

Thus he died,
毫无疑问他死了
He died, he died,
就这样死去了
His soul in the sky...
他的灵魂离开了这个世界
Now Thisby's passion ends the play in tears,
惊魂落定的提斯比返回后落下了痛苦的泪水
Asleep, My Dear?
你困了么？皮拉莫斯
What, Dead, My Dove? Arise!
不要在睡了！
Tongue not a word,
泪水缠住声音
Come blade my breast imbrue,
未干的剑刃再染新红
Thus Thisby end, adieu, adieu,
就此提斯比也死去
Adieu, adieu, adieu, adieu, adieu, adieu, adieu,
一切都结束了，欢迎观看这个故事，再回
If we offend, we've got good will,
请原谅我们的冒犯，我们只是为了表演
If we our crude, our measure's plain
