Mama is a queen and Papa is a king
母亲是女王 父亲是国王
So I am a princess and I know it
所以我生来就是公主模样
But court etiquette is a dull dreary thing
但宫廷礼仪沉闷又无趣
I just hate it all and I show it
我厌恶这一切 毫不隐藏
To sing on the stage that's the one life for me
舞台才是我心之所向
My figure's just like Tetrazzini
我的身段堪比泰特拉齐尼
I know I'd win fame if I sang in Bohéme
若在《波西米亚人》中献唱
That opera by Signor Puccini
定能赢得普契尼的赞赏
I've roulades and the trills
我的花腔与颤音
That would send the cold chills
能让所有听众
Down the backs of all hearers of my vocal frills
背脊发凉 为之震撼
I long to be a prima donna donna donna
我渴望成为首席女伶 女伶 女伶
I long to shine upon the stage
渴望在舞台上绽放光芒
I have the embonpoint
我拥有曼妙身姿
To become a queen of song
足以成为歌坛女王
And my figure would look pretty as a page
我的仪态优雅如诗篇
I want to be a screechy peachy cantatrice
我想成为歌喉甜美的歌剧名伶
Like other plump girls that I see
像那些丰腴动人的姑娘一样
I hate society
我厌倦上流社会的虚伪
I hate propriety
厌恶那些繁文缛节
Art is calling for me
艺术在召唤着我
I'm in the elite and men sigh at my feet
虽身处名流圈 追求者拜倒裙下
Still I do not fancy my position
却对这身份毫无眷恋
I have not much use for the men that I meet
那些庸俗男子 实在令我生厌
I quite burn with lyric ambition
我心中燃烧着歌唱的渴望
Those tenors so sweet
那些男高音如此甜美
If they made love to me
若他们为我倾心
I'd be a success that I do know
我必将大放异彩
And Melba I'd oust if I once sang in Faust
只要在《浮士德》中献唱 就能超越梅尔巴
That opera so charming by Gounod
古诺笔下那迷人的歌剧
Girls would be on the brink
女孩们都将为之倾倒
Of hysterics I think
想到那些歇斯底里
Even strong men would have to go out for a drink
连硬汉都得出去喝一杯
I long to be a prima donna donna donna
我渴望成为首席女伶 女伶 女伶
I long to shine upon the stage
渴望在舞台上绽放光芒
With my avoirdupois
用我丰腴的身姿
And my tra la la la la
和我美妙的歌声
I would be the chief sensation of the age
我将成为这个时代的焦点
I long to hear them shouting Viva to the Diva
我渴望听他们高喊"万岁 献给我们的歌后"
Oh very lovely that must be
多么令人向往的美好
That's what I'm sighing for
这就是我梦寐以求的
That's what I'm dying for
这就是我魂牵梦萦的
Art is calling for me
艺术在召唤着我
