[00:00:16] 显赫血统终成过眼云烟

[00:00:16] Here you see the four of us

[00:00:19] 此刻你见我们四人

[00:00:19] And there are so many more of us

[00:00:21] 实则族裔枝繁叶茂

[00:00:21] Eldest sons

[00:00:22] 身为嫡长子

[00:00:22] That must succeed

[00:00:24] 注定继承家业

[00:00:24] We know how Caesar conquered Gaul

[00:00:37] 甚至有些名不副实

[00:00:37] Scions of a noble breed

[00:00:40] 但仍是高贵血统的后裔

[00:00:40] We are the products of those homes

[00:00:42] 我们诞生于这些宅邸之中

[00:00:42] Serene and stately

[00:00:44] 庄严而宁静

[00:00:44] That only lately

[00:00:55] 证明上流社会

[00:00:55] Have still the upper hand

[00:01:01] Is inclined to take the gilt

[00:01:04] 这般窘境难免褪去

[00:01:04] Off the gingerbread

[00:01:05] 昔日的鎏金辉煌

[00:01:05] And certainly damps the fun

[00:01:09] 长子继承的欢愉

[00:01:09] But still we won't be beaten
