这个姑娘啊 她实在太可爱了
and this girl, this girl, oh she is lovely.
她说罗伯特应该履行诺言 已有所属
She says Robert has to do his duty, he’s already spoken for.
他正在量身订做自己的礼服
And he’s being measured up for his suit,
但看得出来他根本心不在焉
but you can tell his heart’s not in it,
因为他脑海里想的全都是
cos all the while he’s thinking about
那些马和那个马厩姑娘
the horses and the stable girl.
所有人都在教堂等着他

但问题是 马丁
But the thing is, Martin,
这个女公爵 她仅仅是想利用罗伯特
this duchess, she only wants Robert
来刺♥激♥她真正喜欢的那个人
to spite the fella she’s really after.
最终女公爵发现
And then towards the end she finds out
马厩姑娘对罗伯特一往情深
that the stable girl has designs on Robert,
而在那之前 姑娘的独脚父亲去世了
but before that, the father with the one foot dies,
他死前告诉罗伯特要坚持本心
and he says to Robert “Follow your heart”.
于是女公爵解雇了马厩姑娘
And then the duchess gives the stable girl her marching orders,
她收拾好自己的行李
and she packs her things,
外面一辆马车等着 这是个悬念
there’s a pony and trap waiting outside,
她上车之后问
and she gets in, she says,
你知道我们去哪儿吗
“Do you know where we’re going?”
车夫转过头
And the driver turns round,
正是她的心上人罗伯特
and if it isn’t your man Robert.
他说我要带你去一个
And he says I’m taking you to a place
没人能再伤害你的地方
where no one can hurt you anymore.
