I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.我记得当我还是个很小的女孩，我们的房子着火。

I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up我永远不会忘记在我父亲脸上的表情，他收集了我

In his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.在他的怀里，并通过燃烧的大楼冲出到人行道上。

I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.我站在那里发抖，我穿着睡衣，看着整个世界走在火焰。

And when it was all over I said to myself,而当一切都结束了，我对自己说，

"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如果这是所有有我的朋友

Then let's keep dancing然后，让我们保持舞蹈

Let's break out the booze and have a ball让我们打出来的酒，并有一球

If that's all there is如果这是所有有

  

And when I was 12 years old, my daddy took me to a circus.当我12岁那年，我爸爸带我去一个马戏团。

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

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

And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.和一个美丽的淑女粉色紧身衣高飞到我们头顶。

And as I sat there watching, I had the feeling that something was missing.当我坐在那里看，我有东西被遗漏了的感觉。

I don't know what, but when it was over,我不知道是什么，但是当一切结束之后，

I said to myself,我对自己说，

"Is that all there is to a circus?"“这就是一切就是一个马戏团？ ”

  

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如果这是所有有我的朋友

Then let's keep dancing然后，让我们保持舞蹈

Let's break out the booze and have a ball让我们打出来的酒，并有一球

If that's all there is如果这是所有有

  

And then I fell in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world.然后我就爱上，最精彩的男孩在世人面前。

We would take long walks by the river我们将采取长距离散步在河边

Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.或者只是坐就是几个小时凝视着对方的眼睛。

We were so very much in love.我们非常非常爱。

Then one day, he went away and I thought I'd die.后来有一天，他走了，我以为我会死。

But I didn't.但是我没有。

And when I didn't I said to myself,而当我没我对自己说，

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

  

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-如果这是所有有我的朋友，然后让我们备存─

  

I know what you must be saying to yourselves.我知道你一定会说给自己。

"If that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?"“如果是这样的方式，她觉得这件事她为什么不只是结束这一切？ ”

Oh, no, not me.哦，不，不是我。

I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment.我并不急于为最终失望。

'Cause I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,因为我知道，只是和我一样站在这里跟你说话，

That when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath当这最后的时刻到来，我呼吸我的最后一口气

I'll be saying to myself-我会说给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如果这是所有有我的朋友

Then let's keep dancing然后，让我们保持舞蹈

Let's break out the booze and have a ball让我们打出来的酒，并有一球

If that's all there is如果这是所有有
