The Invitation to the Jellicle Ball

The Invitation To The Jellicle Ball

Jellicle Cats come out tonight
Jellicle Cats come one come all
The Jellicle moon is shining bright
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball

Jellicle Cats come out tonight
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball

Jellicle Cats are white and black
Jellicle Cats are of moderate size
Jellicles jump like a jumping jack
Jellicle Cats have moonlit eyes

We're quiet enough in the morning hours
We're quiet enough in the afternoon
Reserving our terpsichorean powers
To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon

Jellicle Cats meet once a year
At the Jellicle Ball where we all rejoice
And the Jellicle Leader will soon appear
And make what is known as the Jellicle Choice
That’s when Old Deuteronomy, just before dawn
Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife
Announces the cat who can now be reborn
And come back to a different Jellicle Life
Because waiting up there is the Heaviside Layer
Full of wonders one Jellicle only will see
Jellicles ask because Jellices dare:

Who will it be?
Who will it be?


杰里可舞会的邀请

杰里可猫今夜全体出动
杰里可猫今夜欢聚一堂
杰里可之月光彩夺目
杰里可猫来到杰里可舞会

杰里可猫今夜全体出动
杰里可猫来到杰里可舞会

杰里可猫身披黑白花纹
杰里可猫身材不大不小
杰里可猫欢蹦乱跳
杰里可猫眼如明月

我们在早晨静静等待
我们静静捱过下午时分
积蓄着身上舞蹈的能量
只为在杰里可之月下起舞翩翩

杰里可猫一年相聚一次
在杰里可舞会上寻欢作乐
杰里可领袖将要出现
要做出我们著名的杰里可之选
清晨之前老戒律伯将会来到
解释就会一片寂静，针尖落地的声音也能听到
他会宣布哪一只猫能够得到重生
再次获得新的杰里可生命
通向天堂的阶梯就在那里等待着那只猫儿
杰里可猫们充满期待和疑问
大胆的杰里可猫纷纷发问

这个幸运者会是谁?
这个幸运者会是谁?
