SHAKESPEARE:
My days are so busy it's making me dizzy
There's so much I gotta do
There's lunches and meetings and poetry readings
and endless interviews
Gotta pose for a portrait
and how I deplore sitting there for eternity
Then it's off to the inn
Where my innkeeper friend
Wants to name a drink after me
Then it's back to my room, where I resume
My attempt to write a hit
Just me and my beer and the terrible fear
That I might be losing it
我每天忙忙碌碌讓我頭昏
有太多事等著我做
午餐、會議，還得讀詩和無窮無盡的訪問
為了畫像擺姿勢
我恨透動也不動坐在那裡
然後又得去旅店
我那經營的旅店朋友
想把一種酒以我命名
然後我回到房間，準備重新工作
想寫出曠世巨作
剩下我和啤酒和我的恐懼
怕自己再也寫不出個屁
And it's hard,
這好難

Honestly, I don't know how I do it. There's only so much of me to go around.

說真的，我不知道怎麼辦
我只有一個人能處理事情
I've got so many fans
With so many demands
I can hardly go take a piss
我有那麼多粉絲
每個又都有需求
連尿尿時間都不夠
MAN SERVANTS:
He can't pee
無法尿尿!

Be it theater-freak or
The autograph-seeker
They all want a piece of this
劇場迷或追星族
他們只想要這個!

Gimme, Gimme

SHAKESPEARE:
It's a cross that I bear,
I'm like Jesus, I swear
It's a burden but I suffer through it

發誓我像耶穌一樣
這是不可承受之苦難
MAN SERVANTS:
He is suffering

SHAKESPEARE:
It's all part of the game,
The trappings of fame
But somebody's gotta do it
這不過是場遊戲
裝飾著名氣
但得有人來玩他
MAN SERVANTS:
So he does it
所以他入地獄
SHAKESPEARE:
And I know, I know, I gotta go
And get back to my pen and ink
Oh don't make me do it,
Don't make me go through it
Can somebody get me a drink!
'Cause it's hard
我知道我知道我得走了
回到我的筆和墨水
別讓我再這麼做
別讓我再經歷一次
誰能給我點酒
因為這好難

It's hard to be the bard, baby
當名人好難、寶貝
I know writing made me famous, but being famous is just so much more fun. You see…
我知道寫作讓我成名，但成名好玩多了，你看...
What people just don't understand
Is that writing's demanding
It's mentally challenging and it's a bore
It's such a chore
TO sit in a room by yourself
Oh my god, I just hate it!
人們就是不懂
寫作有些條件
絞盡腦汁又無趣
跟做家事一樣
你得孤獨坐在房裡
天啊我恨透了這件事了
And you're trying to find
An opening line or a brilliant idea
And you're pacing the floor
And hoping for just a bit of divine intervention
That one little nugget that one little spark
Then Eureka! You find it you're ready to start
So now you can write, right? Wrong!
你試圖尋找
一句開場白或一個高明的點子
你來回踱步
期待神來一筆的靈感
一句名言、一個火花
然後發現了！你發現你準備開始
於是你開始寫了，對嗎？ 錯！
You're not even close, you remember that damn it,
Your play's gotta be in iambic pentameter!
So you write down a word but it's not the right word,
So you try a new word but you hate the new word
And you need a good word but you can't find the word
Oh where is it, what is it, what is it, where is it!
Blah-blah-blah, ha ha, ah-ha -UGHHHHHHHH!
根本還沒接近，你想起來（他媽的）
你的戲得用抑揚格五步格詩寫成
所以你寫下一個字但那個字是錯的
所以你試了一個新詞但你恨透了它
然後你需要個好字，但你卻找不到
噢，它在哪，它是啥，它是啥、它在哪！
（崩潰）
