"Prima Donna" 是由英國樂隊 "夢劇院" (Dream Theater) 所創作的歌曲,也是他們第五張錄音室專輯 "Images and Words" 中的一首歌曲。該曲通常被認為是他們的標誌性作品之一。以下是該歌曲的部分歌詞:
(第一段)
A dancer, I dreamt, to become,
But lost in this theater of my mind,
So full of illusions, a ghost in this house of glass,
To drown my fear, I sang to this song.
(副歌)
Oh, I am a prima donna, the life is my stage,
Living in the melody, of my self-made play.
Oh, I am a prima donna, singing my pain,
I am the music's tragic queen, of a love that remains.
(第二段)
This part is real, the rest is smoke,
My destiny is what I choose to believe.
Am I really living, or just dreaming this dream?
Am I lost or just found?
(副歌)
Oh, I am a prima donna, the life is my stage,
Living in the melody, of my self-made play.
Oh, I am a prima donna, singing my pain,
I am the music's tragic queen, of a love that remains.
(橋段)
I am the phantom of the opera, singing for my own release.
I am the music's tragic queen, singing in this sweetest of dreams.
Oh, I am a prisoner of melody, singing for my freedom.
Oh, I am a dreamer with no name.
(副歌)
Oh, I am a prima donna, the life is my stage,
Living in the melody, of my self-made play.
Oh, I am a prima donna, singing my pain.
I am the music's tragic queen.
I am a prisoner of melody.
Oh! Oh! Oh! (x3)
這首歌的歌詞描繪了一個舞者,她在這個夢幻般的舞台上表演,她的生活就是她的舞台,她為自己創造的音樂劇而歌唱。她是一個悲情的女主角,對愛情的執著和痛苦是她的主題。她既是夢劇院中的魅影,也是音樂劇中的悲劇女王,同時也是一個沒有名字的夢想者。這首歌的歌詞充滿了情感和戲劇性,是夢劇院樂隊的標誌性作品之一。
