[00:00.000] 作曲 : Anaïs Mitchell
[00:21]【HERMES】Now in Hadestown there was a lot of souls
[00:25]【COMPANY】Low, keep your head, keep your head
[00:28]【HERMES】 Working on the wall with all their might
[00:31]【COMPANY】 Oh, you gotta keep your head
[00:33]【HERMES】 You see, they kept their heads down low
[00:36]【COMPANY】If you wanna keep your head
[00:38]【HERMES】 You couldn’t quite see their faces right
[00:41]Oh, but you could hear them singing:
[00:43]【COMPANY】Low, keep your head, keep your head
[00:46]【HERMES】 Swinging their hammers in the cold, hard ground
[00:49]You could hear the sound of the pickaxe a-ringing
[00:53]【COMPANY】If you wanna keep your head
[00:56]【HERMES and COMPANY】They called it “freedom”
[01:00]【EURYDICE, spoken】 I’m free! We’re free!
[01:05]Mr. Hades set us free!
[01:09]【FATES (COMPANY)】 Mr. Hades set you free
[01:12]To work yourself into the ground
[01:15]Free to spend eternity in the factory
[01:18]And the warehouse
[01:20]Where the whistles scream
[01:21]And the foreman shouts
[01:22]And you’re punchin' in
[01:24]And punchin' in
[01:25]And punchin' in
[01:27]And you can’t punch out!
[01:28]You're way down Hadestown (Oh, keep your head, keep your head low)
[01:31]Way down Hadestown (Oh, you gotta keep your head low)
[01:34]Way down Hadestown (If you wanna keep your head)
[01:37]Way down under the ground!
[01:40]【EURYDICE, spoken】 But I don’t understand... you said this was the promised land!
[01:46]【FATES】 You sell your soul,
[01:47]You get your due!
[01:49]That is all we promised you!
[01:51]Heard that mighty trumpet sound,
[01:54]Crossed the river to the Other Side,
[01:56]Thought you’d lay your burdens down
[01:59]And rest in peace in Paradise
[02:02]But there ain’t no rest for your weary soul
[02:05]Hades keeps you toiling
[02:07]【HADES & FATES】 Shoveling coal in a big black hole to keep his boiler boiling
[02:13]【FATES (COMPANY)】 Way down Hadestown (Oh, keep your head, keep your head low)
[02:16]Way down Hadestown (Oh, you gotta keep your head low)
[02:19]Way down Hadestown (If you wanna keep your head)
[02:21]Way down under the ground!
[02:24]【EURYDICE, spoken】But don’t you see? It’s different with me!
[02:30]【FATES, spoken】 Different than who? They thought they were different too!
[02:35]【FATES】 Down in the river of oblivion
[02:38]You kissed your little life goodbye
[02:41]And Hades laid his hands on you
[02:44]And gave you everlasting life!
[02:46]And everlasting overtime
[02:48]In the mine, the mill, and the machinery
[02:52]Running his old assembly line
[02:54]From Pluto to the Pleiades
[02:57]【FATES (COMPANY)】Way down Hadestown (Oh, keep your head, keep your head low)
[03:00]Way down Hadestown (Oh, you gotta keep your head low)
[03:03]Way down Hadestown (If you wanna keep your head)
[03:06]Way down under the ground!
[03:09]【EURYDICE, spoken】 【yelling】 There must be some mistake!
[03:11]【FATES, spoken】Oh, it was a mistake alright!
[03:15]And now you gotta pay-
[03:17]And pay- And pay for it, for the rest of your life!
[03:20]【HERMES, spoken】 See, it’s like I said before: a lot can happen behind closed doors.
[03:26]Eurydice was a hungry young girl, but she wasn’t hungry anymore.
[03:32]What she was, instead, was dead-
[03:35]Dead to the world, anyway.
[03:37]See, she went behind those doors
[03:41]And signed her life away.
[03:44]【FATES】Saw that wheel up in the sky
[03:46]Heard the big bell tolling
[03:50]A lot of souls have gotta die
[03:53]To keep the Rust Belt rolling
[03:56]A lot of spirits gotta break
[04:00]To make the underworld go ‘round
[04:03](FATES & COMPANY) Way down Hadestown
[04:07]Way down under the ground!
