作词 : Fripp, McDonald, Sinfield

作曲 : 无

The rusted chains of prison moons

囚禁月亮的锁链锈迹斑斑

Are shattered by the sun

太阳的光辉将它们砸得稀烂

I walk a road, horizons change

我沿路而上，眼前豁然开朗

The tournament's begun

盛大的竞赛已经开场

The purple piper plays his tune

紫色的风笛手演奏着旋律

The choir softly sing

唱诗班轻声吟唱

Three lullabies in an ancient tongue

三支古老的摇篮曲

For the court of the crimson king

在深红国王的宫殿中回荡

The keeper of the city keys

都市之钥的保管者

Put shutters on the dreams

将梦想尽数收藏

I wait outside the pilgrim's door

我在朝圣者的门外等候

With insufficient schemes

计划着那并不周密的阴谋

The black queen chants the funeral march

黑皇后哀伤地咏唱挽歌

The cracked brass bells will ring

破裂的铜钟即将被敲响

To summon back the fire witch

那神奇的火焰女巫

To the court of the crimson king

被召唤回深红国王的宫殿

The gardener plants an evergreen

园丁种下一棵常青树

Whilst trampling on a flower

却践踏了一朵鲜花

I chase the wind of a prism ship

一艘棱镜船徐徐驶过

To taste the sweet and sour

带着甜蜜而酸腐的气息

The pattern juggler lifts his hand

变戏法的人高举着手

The orchestra begin

管弦乐队开始表演

As slowly turns the grinding wheel

巨大的磨盘开始转动

In the court of the crimson king

在这深红国王的宫殿

On soft gray mornings widows cry

温暖阴沉的早晨，寡妇们在哭泣

The wise men share a joke

智者们开了一个玩笑

I run to grasp divining signs

我奔跑着追逐神迹

To satisfy the hoax

配合着这场骗局

The yellow jester does not play

黄色弄臣默不作声

But gently pulls the strings

只是优雅地摆弄着提线

And smiles as the puppets dance

微笑地欣赏着木偶们表演

In the court of the crimson king

在这深红国王的宫殿
