Lyrics:Fred Ebb Music:John Kander
What good is sitting alone in your room?
獨自一個枯坐在你的房間有啥好處？
Come hear the music play
來聽音樂的演奏
Life is a cabaret, old chum
生命就是一個酒店，老友
Come to the cabaret
來這酒店吧
Put down the knitting, the book and the broom
放下手邊的編織、書本和掃帚
Time for a holiday
該是度假的時候了
Life is a cabaret, old chum
生命就是一個酒店，老友
Come to the cabaret
來這酒店吧
Come taste the wine
來品嚐那美酒
Come hear the band
來聽那樂隊演奏
Come blow a horn, start celebrating
來吹響一支號角，開始慶祝
Right this way, your table's waiting
請這邊走，您的桌子正等待著
What good's permitting some prophet of doom
可別讓一些什麼命運的先知
To wipe every smile away
趕走你所有的微笑
Life is a cabaret, old chum
生命就是一個酒店，老友
So come to the cabaret!
來這酒店吧
========以下以日文演唱============
I used to have a girlfriend known as Elsie
我以前有個叫做艾爾西的女友
With whom I shared four sordid rooms in Chelsea
我跟她在卻爾西同租四個骯髒的房間
She wasn't what you'd call a blushing flower...
她可不是那種你會用「害羞的小東西」來形容的人
As a matter of fact, she rented by the hour
事實上，她按時計酬出租自己
The day she died, the neighbors came to snicker
她死的那天，鄰居們都前來暗自竊笑
"Well, that's what comes from too much pills and liquor"
「看吧，那就是吞太多藥丸、喝太多酒的後果」
But when I saw her laid out like a queen
但是當我看到她像個女王似的躺在那裡
She was the happiest corpse I'd ever seen
她是我所見過最快樂的屍首
I think of Elsie to this very day
我直到今天都還想著艾爾西
I remember how she'd turn to me and say:
我記得她是如何的轉過來對我說
==========以上以日文演唱===========
What good is sitting alone in your room?
獨自一個枯坐在你的房間有啥好處？
Come hear the music play
來聽音樂的演奏
Life is a cabaret, old chum
生命就是一個酒店，老友
Come to the cabaret
來這酒店吧
And as for me him, and as for me
而至於我呢，至於我
I made my mind up back in Chelsea
我早在還在卻爾西的時候就已經打定主意
When I go, I'm goin' like Elsie
當我死的時候，我要跟艾爾西一樣
Start by admitting from cradle to tomb
首先就要承認從搖籃到墳墓
It isn't that long a stay
可不算太長的一段居留
Life is a cabaret, old chum
生命就是一個酒店，老友
It's only a cabaret, old chum
只是一個酒店，老友
And I love a cabaret
而我愛一個酒店
