[00:00.000] 作曲 : Igor Stravinsky
[00:49.025]Prepare yourselves, ye heroic shades.
[01:02.070]Wash you and make you clean.
[01:07.849]Anoint your limbs with oil,
[01:14.121]put on your wedding garments
[01:20.518]and crown your heads with flowers.
[01:28.337]Let music strike.
[01:36.174]Venus, queen of love,
[01:46.441]will visit her unworthy Adonis.
[02:11.140]Madmen's words are all untrue.
[02:15.746]She will never come to you.
[02:18.860]She gave me her promise.
[02:20.429]Madness cancels every vow.
[02:24.097]She will never keep it now.
[02:26.760]Come quickly, Venus, or I die.
[02:41.547]Leave all love and hope behind.
[02:47.251]Out of sight is out of mind
[02:50.564]in these caverns of the dead.
[02:54.801]In the city overhead
[02:56.810]former lover, former foe
[02:59.507]to their works and pleasures go
[03:02.460]nor consider who beneath
[03:05.413]weep and howl and gnash their teeth.
[03:08.184]Down in hell as up in heaven
[03:11.269]no hands are in marriage given,
[03:14.887]nor is honour or degree
[03:18.451]known in our society.
[03:24.678]Banker, beggar, whore, and wit
[03:27.233]in a common darkness sit.
[03:29.776]Seasons, fashions, never change,
[03:32.439]all is stale yet all is strange.
[03:35.499]All are foes and none are friends
[03:39.919]in a night that never ends.
[03:48.770]Hark! Minos comes, who cruel is and strong.
[03:55.315]Beware! Away!
[03:57.652]His whip is keen and long!

作曲 : Igor Stravinsky
Prepare yourselves, ye heroic shades.
Wash you and make you clean.
Anoint your limbs with oil,
put on your wedding garments
and crown your heads with flowers.
Let music strike.
Venus, queen of love,
will visit her unworthy Adonis.
Madmen's words are all untrue.
She will never come to you.
She gave me her promise.
Madness cancels every vow.
She will never keep it now.
Come quickly, Venus, or I die.
Leave all love and hope behind.
Out of sight is out of mind
in these caverns of the dead.
In the city overhead
former lover, former foe
to their works and pleasures go
nor consider who beneath
weep and howl and gnash their teeth.
Down in hell as up in heaven
no hands are in marriage given,
nor is honour or degree
known in our society.
Banker, beggar, whore, and wit
in a common darkness sit.
Seasons, fashions, never change,
all is stale yet all is strange.
All are foes and none are friends
in a night that never ends.
Hark! Minos comes, who cruel is and strong.
Beware! Away!
His whip is keen and long!
