[00:00.00] 作曲 : Lynn Ahrens/Stephen Flaherty
[00:03.78]The Neva flows, a new wind blows and soon it will be spring.
[00:11.93]We hear you comrades. The revolution hears you.
[00:15.84]Together we will forge a new Russia, that will be the envy of all the world.
[00:21.41]The Tsar’s St Petersburg is now the people’s Leningrad.
[00:26.83]They can call it Leningrad, but it’ll always be Petersburg.
[00:31.19]New name same empty stomachs.
[00:35.60]They tell us times are better
[00:36.93]Well I say they're not
[00:38.88]Can’t cook an empty promise
[00:40.42]In an empty pot
[00:42.75]A brighter day is dawning
[00:44.56]It’s almost at hand
[00:46.39]The skies are grey, the walls have ears and he who argues disappears.
[00:50.72]Hail our great new land
[00:56.22]St. Petersburg is gloomy, a city on the rise.
[01:00.15]It’s really very friendly
[01:02.11]If you don’t mind spies.
[01:04.90]We stand behind our leaders
[01:06.20]And stand in line for bread
[01:08.30]We’re good and loyal comrades
[01:09.79]And our favorite color’s red
[01:12.60]Now everyone is equal
[01:14.18]Professors push the brooms
[01:15.63]Two dozen total strangers
[01:17.41]Live in two small rooms
[01:19.78]You hold a revolution
[01:21.52]And here’s the price you pay
[01:23.49]Thank goodness for the gossip
[01:26.64]Thank goodness for the gossip
[01:29.34]That gets us through the day
[01:31.63]Have you heard
[01:31.80]Hey!
[01:33.00]There’s a rumor in St Petersburg
[01:35.45]Have you heard
[01:36.88]What they’re saying on the street?
[01:39.38]Although the Tsar did not survive
[01:41.15]One daughter may be still alive
[01:44.33]The Princess Anastasia
[01:47.29]But please do not repeat
[01:49.19]It’s a rumor
[01:50.90]A legend
[01:50.96]A mystery
[01:52.61]Something whispered in an alleyway
[01:54.47]Or through a crack
[01:56.64]It’s a rumor
[01:57.68]That’s part of our history
[02:00.55]They say her royal grandmamma
[02:02.26]Will pay a royal sum
[02:04.49]To someone who can bring the princess back
[02:08.65]Dmitry! They’ve closed another border!
[02:12.21]We should have gotten out of Russia while we still could.
[02:16.11]St Petersburg was lovely when royalty was in.
[02:20.13]I called myself a count as though I’d always been.
[02:23.95]I hobnobbed with the royals, but then a change of luck.
[02:28.11]The tsar was dead.
[02:29.10]The royals fled and comrade now we’re stuck!
[02:32.57]Vlad! I’ve been thinking about the princess Anastasia.
[02:35.78]Oh not you too, Dmitry!
[02:39.93]It’s the rumor
[02:40.88]The legend
[02:41.92]The mystery
[02:43.74]It’s the Princess Anastasia
[02:45.61]Who will help us fly
[02:47.76]You and I friend
[02:48.86]Will go down
[02:49.92]In history
[02:51.81]We’ll find a girl to play the part
[02:53.88]And teach her what to say
[02:55.97]Dress her up and take her to Paris
[03:00.20]Imagine the reward
[03:01.79]Her dear old grandmamma would pay
[03:03.74]Who else could pull it off
[03:05.15]But you and me
[03:09.69]No!
[03:11.77]It was a truck backfiring comrade, That’s all it was.
[03:15.65]Those days are over.Neighbor against neighbor.
[03:19.20]There’s nothing to be afraid of anymore.
[03:23.78]You’re shaking.
[03:24.98]There’s a tea shop just steps from here, let me…
[03:26.90]Thank you.
[03:27.82]What’s your hurry.
[03:29.21]I can’t lose this job. They’re not easy to come by. But Thank you.
[03:34.42]I’m here everyday
[03:39.20]A ruble for this painting
[03:40.98]It’s Romanov I swear
[03:43.10]Count Yusopov’s pajamas
[03:44.90]Comrade buy the pair
[03:47.70]I found this in the palace
[03:48.98]Initialed with an “A”
[03:50.97]It could be Anastasia’s
[03:52.84]Now what will someone pay
[03:55.45]We need something of hers to show the old lady.
[03:59.17]How much is that music box?
[04:01.17]Ah. The music box. It’s genuine Romanov. I could never part with it.
[04:08.19]Two cans of beans, comrade?
[04:10.48]Done.
[04:11.97]Do you believe in fairy tales, Vlad?
[04:14.52]Once upon a time I did.
[04:16.58]We’re going to create a fairy tale the whole world will believe.
[04:21.71]Now it’s risky but not more then usual.
[04:25.79]We’ll need papers, we’ll need tickets, we’ll need nerves of steel.
[04:29.72]Yes it’s risky, a lot more then usual.
[04:33.65]We’ll try to cross the border with our princess and our plot.
[04:37.43]Hopefully disaster won’t ensue.
[04:41.42]With luck it’ll all go smoothly
[04:43.35]And with luck we won't be shot
[04:45.53]Who else could pull it off
[04:47.00]But me and you
[04:49.32]We’ll be rich
[04:50.30]We’ll be rich
[04:50.99]We’ll be out
[04:52.19]We’ll be out
[04:53.80]And St Petersburg will have some more
[04:55.50]To talk about
[04:57.46]I heard it from a person
[04:59.22]I heard it from a person
[05:01.26]Who was assured me that it was absolutely true
