I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.我記得當我還是個很小的女孩，我們的房子著火。

I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up我永遠不會忘記在我父親臉上的表情，他收集了我

In his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.在他的懷裏，並通過燃燒的大樓衝出到人行道上。

I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.我站在那裏發抖，我穿著睡衣，看著整個世界走在火焰。

And when it was all over I said to myself,而當一切都結束了，我對自己說，

"Is that all there is to a fire?"“那是所有有火？ ”

  

Is that all there is?是所有有？

Is that all there is?是所有有？

If that's all there is my friends如果這是所有有我的朋友

Then let's keep dancing然後，讓我們保持舞蹈

Let's break out the booze and have a ball讓我們打出來的酒，並有一球

If that's all there is如果這是所有有

  

And when I was 12 years old, my daddy took me to a circus.當我12歲那年，我爸爸帶我去一個馬戲團。

"The Greatest Show On Earth."“最偉大的表演在地球上。 ”

There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears.有小醜，大象跳舞的熊。

And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.和一個美麗的淑女粉色緊身衣高飛到我們頭頂。

And as I sat there watching, I had the feeling that something was missing.當我坐在那裏看，我有東西被遺漏了的感覺。

I don't know what, but when it was over,我不知道是什麽，但是當一切結束之後，

I said to myself,我對自己說，

"Is that all there is to a circus?"“這就是一切就是一個馬戲團？ ”

  

Is that all there is?是所有有？

Is that all there is?是所有有？

If that's all there is my friends如果這是所有有我的朋友

Then let's keep dancing然後，讓我們保持舞蹈

Let's break out the booze and have a ball讓我們打出來的酒，並有一球

If that's all there is如果這是所有有

  

And then I fell in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world.然後我就愛上，最精彩的男孩在世人麵前。

We would take long walks by the river我們將采取長距離散步在河邊

Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.或者隻是坐就是幾個小時凝視著對方的眼睛。

We were so very much in love.我們非常非常愛。

Then one day, he went away and I thought I'd die.後來有一天，他走了，我以為我會死。

But I didn't.但是我沒有。

And when I didn't I said to myself,而當我沒我對自己說，

"Is that all there is to love?"“那是所有有愛？ ”

  

Is that all there is?是所有有？

Is that all there is?是所有有？

If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep-如果這是所有有我的朋友，然後讓我們備存─

  

I know what you must be saying to yourselves.我知道你一定會說給自己。

"If that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?"“如果是這樣的方式，她覺得這件事她為什麽不隻是結束這一切？ ”

Oh, no, not me.哦，不，不是我。

I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment.我並不急於為最終失望。

'Cause I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,因為我知道，隻是和我一樣站在這裏跟你說話，

That when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath當這最後的時刻到來，我呼吸我的最後一口氣

I'll be saying to myself-我會說給myself-

  

Is that all there is?是所有有？

Is that all there is?是所有有？

If that's all there is my friends如果這是所有有我的朋友

Then let's keep dancing然後，讓我們保持舞蹈

Let's break out the booze and have a ball讓我們打出來的酒，並有一球

If that's all there is如果這是所有有
