• Sarah：
• Gus is the cat at the theatre door
• 剧院门口有只老猫叫格斯
• His name as I ought to have told you before
• 其实我早该告诉你他的本名
• Is really asparagus but that's a fuss to pronounce
• 是芦笋这个拗口的名字
• That we usually call him just Gus
• 所以我们都习惯叫他格斯
• His coat's very shabby he's thin as a rake
• 他的毛发蓬乱 瘦骨嶙峋
• And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake
• 颤抖的爪子饱受麻痹之苦
• For he was in his youth quite the smartest of cats
• 想当年他可是最神气的猫
• But no longer a terror to mice or to rats
• 但老鼠们不再对他畏惧战栗
• For he isn't the cat that he was in his prime
• 盛年时的威风早已随风逝去
• Though his name was quite famous he says in his time
• 虽曾声名显赫 他总这般追忆往昔
• And whenever he joins his friends at their club
• 每当与老友相聚在俱乐部里
• Which takes place at the back of the neighbouring pub
• 那地方就在隔壁酒馆的后厅
• He loves to regale them if someone else pays
• 若有人买单 他便滔滔不绝说起
• With anecdotes drawn from his palmiest days
• 那些黄金岁月里的辉煌轶事
• For he once was a star of the highest degree
• 毕竟他曾是璀璨夺目的巨星
• He has acted with Irving he's acted with Tree
• 他曾与欧文同台 也曾与特里共演
• And he likes to relate his success on the halls
• 最爱讲述当年在音乐厅的辉煌
• Where the gallery once gave him seven cat calls
• 楼座观众曾为他七次喝彩
• But his grandest creation as he loves to tell
• 而他最引以为傲的杰作
• Was Firefrorefiddle the fiend of the fell

• Sir John：
• 约翰爵士：
• I have played in my time every possible part
• 我这一生演尽世间百态
• And I used to know seventy speeches by heart
• 七十段台词烂熟于心
• I'd extemporize backchat I knew how to gag
• 我能即兴对答 懂得如何抖包袱
• And I knew how to let the cat out of the bag
• 也深谙如何巧妙透露天机
• I knew how to act with my back and my tail
• 只需摆动尾巴和脊背就能传神演绎
• With an hour of rehearsal I never could fail
• 哪怕仅排练一小时也从不失手
• I'd a voice that would soften the hardest of hearts
• 我的嗓音能让最铁石心肠的人动容
• Whether I took the lead or in character parts
• 无论担纲主角还是出演配角
• I have sat by the bedside of poor little Nell
• 我曾在小内尔的病榻前守候
• When the curfew was rung then I swung on the bell
• 当宵禁钟声敲响 我便在钟绳上荡悠
• In the pantomime season I never fell flat
• 在哑剧季里我从未失手过
• And I once understudied Dick Whittington's cat

• Then if someone will give him a toothful of gin

• When some actor suggested the need for a cat
• 当某位演员提出需要一只猫时
• Sir John：
• 约翰爵士：
• And I say now these kittens they do not get trained
• 要我说现在的年轻演员缺乏训练
• As we did in the days when Victoria reigned
• 不像我们维多利亚时代的严苛打磨
• They never get drilled in a regular troupe
• 他们从未接受正规剧团的系统训练
• And they think they are smart just to jump through a hoop
• 却自以为跳过铁环就算本事
• Sarah：
• And he says as he scratches himself with his claws
• 他一边用爪子挠着自己 一边说道
• Sir John：
• 约翰爵士：
• Well the theatre is certainly not what is was
• 唉 如今的剧院早已今非昔比
• These modern productions are all very well
• 这些现代剧目虽然也不错
• But there's nothing to equal from what I hear tell
• 但据我所知 没有能媲美当年的
• That moment of mystery when I made history
• 当我创造历史的那神秘时刻
• As Firefrorefiddle the fiend of the fell
• 扮演山岭恶魔火魔琴的辉煌岁月
