[00:00.000] 作曲 : Anaïs Mitchell
[00:00.687](Hermes:)
[00:04.516]Now everybody knows the walls have ears
[00:07.790](Orpheus:)Is it true?
[00:08.757](Company:)Is it true?
[00:11.327](Hermes:)And the walls had heard what the boy was saying
[00:14.550](Orpheus:)Is it true?
[00:15.547](Company:)Is it true?
[00:18.252](Hermes:)A million tons of stone and steel...
[00:21.209](Orpheus:)Is it true?
[00:22.103](Company:)Is it true?
[00:23.968](Hermes:)Echoed his refrain
[00:36.789](Hades:)When I was a young man like you
[00:39.215]Son, I held a woman too
[00:41.685]Held her in my naked hands
[00:44.200]When I was a young man
[00:45.850]Now you know how it feels
[00:48.382]Women are as slick as eels
[00:50.713]Woman, quicker than the asp
[00:53.102]Always slipping from your grasp
[00:55.620]Take it from a man no longer young
[00:58.087]If you want to hold a woman, son
[01:00.740]Hang a chain around her throat
[01:03.250]Made of many carat gold
[01:05.771]Shackle her from wrist to wrist
[01:08.086]With sterling silver bracelets
[01:10.755]Fill her pockets full of stones
[01:13.194]Precious ones, diamonds
[01:15.642]Bind her with a golden band
[01:18.242]Take it from an old man
[01:19.895](Company:)Low, keep your head, keep your head low
[01:23.184]Oh, you gotta keep your head low
[01:25.768]If you wanna keep your head
[01:28.441](Orpheus & Eurydice:)La la la...
[01:29.755](Company:)Oh, he said he'd shelter us
[01:31.793]He said he'd harbor me
[01:34.187]He said we'd build them up
[01:36.601]And then the walls would set us free
[01:39.225]I'm gonna count to three
[01:41.630]And then I'll raise my head singing
[01:45.306]One, two, is it true?
[01:48.400]Is it true, what he said?
[01:50.580](Persephone:)When I was a young girl like you
[01:52.897]Sister, I was hungry too
[01:55.472]Hungry for the underworld
[01:57.983]When I was a young girl
[01:59.692]Now you know how it tastes
[02:01.908]The fruit of Mr. Hades' ways
[02:04.360]Sister, it's a bitter wine
[02:06.870]Spit it out while you still have time
[02:09.593]Take it from a woman of my age
[02:11.931]Love is not a gilded cage
[02:14.499]All the wealth within these walls
[02:17.044]Will never buy the thing called love
[02:19.695]Love was when he came to me
[02:22.272]Begging on his bended knees
[02:24.780]To please have pity on his heart
[02:27.670]And let him lay me in the dirt...
[02:30.689]I felt his arms around me then
[02:33.238]We didn't need a wedding bed
[02:35.506]Dark seeds scattered on the ground
[02:38.477]The wild birds were flying around
[02:42.717]That's when I became his wife
[02:45.234]But that was in another life
[02:47.745]That was in another world
[02:50.411]When I was a young girl!
[02:52.048](Orpheus & Eurydice:)La la la...
[02:53.281](Company:)Low, keep your head, keep your head low
[02:55.348]Oh, you gotta keep your head low
[02:58.005]If you wanna keep your head
[03:00.411]Oh, he said he'd shelter us
[03:03.744]He said he'd harbor me
[03:06.323]He said we'd soldier on
[03:08.855]And then the war would bring us peace
[03:11.492]We're gonna count to three
[03:14.029]And then we'll raise our heads, singing
[03:17.456]One, two, is it true?
[03:20.884]Is it true, what he said?
[03:22.790](Hades:)Young man, I was young once too
[03:25.338]I once sang the young man's blues
[03:28.200]Women come and women go
[03:30.490]Get you high and get you low
[03:32.853]One day she's hot, the next she's cold
[03:35.662]Women are so seasonal
[03:37.910]Women leave again and again
[03:40.631]Take it from an old man
[03:42.116]Now I sing a different song
[03:44.427]One I can depend upon
[03:46.898]The simple tune, the steady beat
[03:49.254]The music of machinery
[03:51.959]Do you hear that heavy metal sound?
[03:54.560]The symphony of Hadestown
[03:57.236]And in this symphony of mine
[03:59.577]Of power chords and power lines
[04:02.105]Young man, you can strum your lyre
[04:04.496]I have strung the world in wire
[04:07.283]Young man, you can sing your ditty
[04:09.692]I conduct the electric city!
[04:19.261]I'll tell you what, young man
[04:20.873]Since my wife is such a fan
[04:23.050]And since I'm going to count to three
[04:26.014]And put you out of your misery
[04:28.150]One! give me one more song
[04:31.067]One more song before I send you
[04:33.262]Two! to the great beyond
[04:35.789]Where nobody can hear you singing
[04:38.492]Three! sing a song for me
[04:41.266]Make me laugh, make me weep
[04:44.129]Make the king feel young again
[04:48.575]Sing for an old man!
