Jack's Lament (From “The Nightmare Before Christmas”/Soundtrack Version) - Danny Elfman (丹尼·叶夫曼)

There are few who deny at what I do I am the best

世人都无法否认 我有多么出色

For my talents are reowned far and wide

我的才能威震四方

When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night

在斑驳月色下的突袭

I excel without ever even trying

只是小菜一碟

With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms

我用鬼魅的魔力轻而易举

I have seen grown men give out a shriek

就能让人们惊声尖叫

With the wave of my hand and a well-placed moan

我轻轻一挥手 再加上个恰好的低吼

I have swept the very bravest off their feet

就能把那些所谓的勇士吓倒

Yet year after year it's the same routine

但是 年复一年都是这样

And I grow so weary of the sound of screams

这些尖叫的声音开始令我厌倦

And I Jack the PUMPKIN KING

我 杰克 南瓜王

Have grown so tired of the same old thing

已经厌倦了这些乏善可陈的东西

Oh somewhere deep inside of these bones

在这身体深处的某个地方

And emptiness begins to grow

有种空荡荡的感觉开始滋生

There's something out there far from my home

仿佛什么东西从我灵魂抽离

A longing that I've never known

那是一种我无从知晓的渴望

I'm a master of fright and a demon of light

我是制造恐惧的大师 我是拂晓前的恶魔

And I'll scare you right out of your pants

我能把你吓得失魂丧胆

To a guy in Kentucky I'm Mister Unlucky

肯塔基州的美国人叫我倒霉先生

And I'm known throughout England and France

在英国和法国也流传着我的威名

And since I am dead I can take off my head

我死后 还能取下我的脑袋

To recite Shakespearean quotations

诵读莎士比亚的诗歌

No animal or man can scream like I can

没有任何生灵能与我相提并论

With the fury of my recitations

我在这狂怒中咆哮

But who here would ever understand

却没有谁能够理解

That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin

南瓜王 这具面带笑容的骷髅

Would tire of his crown- if they only understood

荣耀终会厌倦 却没有人能够理解

He would give it all up if he only could

如果可以 他情愿放弃这一切

Oh there's an empty place in my bones

在我的身躯中有一个空荡荡的地方

That calls out for something unknown

渴求着一些未知的向往

The fame and praise come year after year

盛誉和赞颂纷至沓来

Does nothing for these empty tears

却无法掩去这些无济于事的眼泪
