One More Dance

by :  C.C.Carter


Lyrics:
Darling, go home, your husband is ill.
Is he ill? Let them give him a pill.
Oh, come my dear Franz, just one more dance,
Then I’ll go home to my poor old man,
Then I’ll go home to my poor old man.

Darling, go home, your husband is worse.
Is he worse? Well I am no nurse.
Oh, come my dear Franz, just one more dance,
Then I’ll go home to my poor old man,
Then I’ll go home to my poor old man.

Darling, go home, your husband is dead.
Is he dead? There’s no more to be said
Oh, come my dear Franz, just one more dance,
Then I’ll go home to my poor old man,
Then I’ll go home to my poor old man.

Darling, go home, the will’s to be read
What’s that you said? I said the will’s to be read.
Oh, no, no, my dear Franz, this is no time to dance,
I must go weep for my poor old man,
I must go weep for my poor old man.

男：亲爱的，回家吧，你丈夫病了！
女：病了？他们会给他吃药的。
    噢，过来，亲爱的弗兰兹，再陪我跳支舞吧！
    然后我再回家，看我可怜的老老公。

男：亲爱的，回家吧，你丈夫病重了！
女：病重了？我也不是护士。
    噢，过来，亲爱的弗兰兹，再陪我跳支舞吧！
    然后我再回家，看我可怜的老老公。

男：亲爱的，回家吧，你丈夫死了！
女：死了？那就更没啥可说的了。
    噢，过来，亲爱的弗兰兹，再陪我跳支舞吧！
    然后我再回家，看我可怜的老老公。

男：亲爱的，回家吧，要宣布遗嘱了！
女：你说什么？
男：我说，要宣布遗嘱了！
女：噢，不，不，亲爱的弗兰兹，没时间跳舞了！
    我必须回家为可怜的老老公哭丧。
男（女）：你（我）必须回家为可怜的老老公哭丧。
