There once lived a girl of a royal line

The ancient stories do recall

She was the fairest of them all
她是世间最美的模样
In a castle made of stone

Every night she slept alone
每夜她都独自睡着
Any noise that would raise the dead
连能唤醒亡者的喧嚣
Couldn't wake her sleepyhead

A stranger came from a foreign land
异乡来了位陌生的郎
Asking for the maiden's hand
求娶这位美丽的姑娘
Her father said no, go away

She's gonna marry a king one day

The stranger he came back again
那陌生人又重返故乡
Riding with ten thousand men
带着万千兵马，气势浩荡
Their battle cries filled all with dread
战吼让天地充满恐慌
But couldn't wake her sleepyhead
却依旧吵不醒她贪睡的脸庞
The fighting lasted all day long

But the castle walls were thick and strong

The stranger cried: "Let her decide"
陌生人呐喊："让她来决断！
Where her true affections lie"

So the king knocked on her bedroom door

"Only you can end this war"

No one knows how the story ends
