I fear that I will always be a lonely number like root three
我害怕自己會成為孤獨的根號3
A three is all that's good and right
3代表了所有的美好和正義
Why must my three keep out of sight beneath a vicious aquare-root sign?
但為什麽我的3要被困在萬惡的根號底下？
I wish instead I were a nine
我更希望我是數字9
For nine could thwart this evil trick with just some quick arithmetic
因為9通過簡單的算術就能擺脫根號的詭計
I know I'll never see the sun as 1.7321
我知道作為1.7321我將不得見天日
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?
而在此時我無法相信我的雙眼
Another square root of a three
另壹個根號3
Has quietly come waltzing by
輕輕踏著華爾茲而來
Together now we multiply
相聚後我們相乘
To form a number we prefer
得出我們喜歡的壹個數字
Rejoicing as an integer
像整數般高興
We break free from our mortal bonds
我們將自己從牢獄中解脫
And with a wave of magic wands
隨著魔杖的揮舞
Our square-root signs become unglued
我們的根號被掀開
And love for me has been renewed
而我的愛也煥然壹新
另壹個版本：
《孤獨的根號三》
我害怕，
我會永遠是那孤獨的根號三。
三本身是壹個多麽美妙的數字，
我的這個三，
為何躲在那難看的根號下。
我多麽希望自己是壹個九，
因為九只需要壹點點小小的運算，
便可擺脫這殘酷的厄運。
我知道自己很難再看到我的太陽，
就像這無休無止的，
1.7321…………
我不願我的人生如此可悲。
知道那壹天，
我看到了，
另壹個根號三。
如此美麗無暇，
翩翩舞動而來，
我們彼此相乘，
得到那夢寐以求的數字，
像整數壹樣圓滿。
我們砸碎命運的枷鎖，
輕輕舞動愛情的魔杖。
我們的平方根，已經解開。
我的愛，重獲新生。
我無法保證能給妳童話般的世界，
也無法保證自己能在壹夜之間長大。
但是我保證，
妳可以像公主壹樣永遠生活在自由，幸福之中。
A three is all that's good and right
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath a vicious square-root sign?
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick
With just some quick arithmetic
I know I'll never see the sun
As one point seven three two one
Such is my reality
A sad irrationality
When, hark, just what is this I see?
Another square root of a three
Has quietly come waltzing by
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
And with a wave of magic wands
Our square-root signs become unglued
And love for me has been renewed
