The painted faces on the street 街道上的彩绘脸谱

Caricatures of long ago 很久以前的漫画

Oh they were young and oh so sweet 哦，他们是年轻，是如此的甜蜜

Down beyond the boulevard 下来以后林荫大道

Knock on doors and empty halls 敲敲门，空荡荡的大厅里

And still sometimes remember 有时还记得

The masquerade's forever 伪装的永远

   

When you see the price they paid 当你看到他们所付出的代价

I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade 我敢肯定，你会来参加化妆舞会

   

The reeling figures pass on by 缫丝数字传递了

Like ghosts in some forgotten play 像一些被遗忘的鬼戏

Beneath the black and empty sky 下方的黑色和空荡的天空

Music plays and figures dance 音乐剧和舞蹈人物

With partners chosen by chance 有一次偶然的机会选择合作伙伴

And still some times remember 而且还有些时候记得

The masquerade's forever 伪装的永远

   

They reached for tomorrow 他们到达的明天

But tomorrows, more of the same 但明天更多相同的，

So they reached for tomorrow 因此，他们到达的明天

But tomorrow never came 但明天永远不会来了

   

When you hear the price they paid 当你听到他们所付出的代价

I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade 我敢肯定，你会来参加化妆舞会

   

One by one and two by two 逐个和两两

Past eight by tens in shattered frames 过去八年由几十帧破碎

The players try to leave the room 玩家试图离开房间

Frantic puppets on a string 在一个字符串疯狂傀儡

And all the while the music sings 而这段时间的音乐唱

And still sometimes remember 有时还记得

The masquerade's forever 伪装的永远
