I fear that I will always be a lonely number like root three
我害怕自己会成为孤独的根号3
A three is all that's good and right
3代表了所有的美好和正义
Why must my three keep out of sight beneath a vicious aquare-root sign?
但为什么我的3要被困在万恶的根号底下?
I wish instead I were a nine
我更希望我是数字9
For nine could thwart this evil trick with just some quick arithmetic
因为9通过简单的算术就能摆脱根号的诡计
I know I'll never see the sun as 1.7321
我知道作为1.7321我将不得见天日
Such is my reality a sad irrationality
我原本既悲哀又不理智
When ,hark,just what is this I see?
而在此时 我无法相信我的双眼
Another square root of a three
另一个根号3
Has quietly come waltzing by
轻轻踏着华尔兹而来
Together now we multiply
相聚后我们相乘
To form a number we prefer
得出我们喜欢的一个数字
Rejoicing as an integer
像整数般高兴
We break free from our mortal bonds
我们将自己从牢狱中解脱
And with a wave of magic wands
随着魔杖的挥舞
Our square-root signs become unglued
我们的根号被掀开
And love for me has been renewed
而我的爱也焕然一新
