[Lyrics: Alan Duffy / Music: Steven Wilson] [歌词：艾伦·达菲/音乐：史蒂芬·威尔逊]

   

The butterfly sailed on the breeze 蝴蝶航行微风

Past a field of barbed wire trees 过去的铁丝网树木场

Where golden dragons chased around 凡金龙围绕城管

Pampered poppies on the ground 在地面上养尊处优的罂粟花

Two silver trout sat way on high 二银鳟鱼的方式坐在高

And watched a royal samurai 并观看了皇家武士

Plant two black orchids in a box 植物两个黑色的兰花在一个盒子

And strap it to a laughing fox 和表带它笑的狐狸

A minstrel bought a crooked spoon 一个弹琴买了歪勺子

He gave it to a blue baboon 他给了一个蓝色的狒狒

Who filled it full of virgin snow 谁填补它充满了洁白的雪地上

And watched it in the afterglow 看着它的余辉

   

Fat toad stood in his ballet shoes 在他的芭蕾舞鞋蟾蜍站

Teaching sixteen kangaroos 教学16袋鼠

How to skip across a lake 如何跳过跨湖

They found it hard to stay awake 他们发现很难保持清醒

A pharaoh played a merry tune 老王起了欢快的曲调

And watched nine cats dance on the moon 看着九尾猫跳舞在月球上

I didn't know what all this meant 我不知道这是什么意思都

I didn't know why I'd been sent. 我不知道为什么我会被发送。

   

The Insignificance version of Nine Cats has the 渺小的版本九猫有

following additional verse at the end: 以下额外的诗句结尾：

   

I threw 5 clocks down on my bed 我把5个时钟倒在我的床上

The chimes danced out on golden threads 跳舞出来的金丝线的风铃

And turned to footprints on my wall 转身脚印在墙上

Sequined tears began to fall 亮片的眼泪开始回落
