今天这首歌，可找得我辛苦。最终强忍着对英语的烦躁，在一个英文网页上找到了歌词。
“And she wonders about mermaids just like I wonder about humans.”这句词是让我喜欢这首歌的重点。生活中，人们都不可避免对他人的羡慕与忌妒；而在故事中，主角经常会发现最终并非如自己所想。
我还未看过《小美人鱼》这部戏，并不确定是否悲剧结尾。而在另一套日本漫画《溜冰娃娃》中，里面的女主角——七濑帝，凭着《小美人鱼》的溜冰编曲，赢得一次又一次奖项。帝只愿意自己溜那编曲，因为她心里的王子已经有指定人选了。
在比赛时，帝的妈妈说，这孩子，我从未见过她那样的神情，仿佛她的面前真有那样一位王子引领她的步伐。
幸而，在漫画的最终，王子归位了，溜出了圆满结局的一曲。
What's it like to be a mermaid? 也别忘了，小美人鱼其实也想问你“到底做人是怎样的？”。
Ariel 独白:
They just don't understand. It's not enough for me. Oh, I wish I could show them what I found. A note in a bottle from a little girl. And she wonders about mermaids just like I wonder about humans.
I found a little bottle
Bobbing in the water
Carried on a wave
Inside there was a note
That a little girl wrote
This is what she had to say
Mermaid, mermaid tell me true
What's it feel like to be you?
What's it like to be a mermaid?
A little lady from down under the sea
Do you go to school with fishes?
Do you have to do the dishes?
Are you like me?
What's it like to be a mermaid?
Tell me a little of your life in the blue
Is there music, are there dances?
Are there undersea romances?
Do you wonder from down under like I do about you?
Growing up a daughter
Of the underwater
Is like a fantasy
But I am curious, too
Dreamin' just like you do
About the world beyond the beach
Well, here's a mermaid's point of view
For those of you who wish they knew
What it's like to be a mermaid
A little lady from down under the sea
We go dancing with the dolphin
Riding waves and whale watching
In the sea breeze
What's it like to be mermaid?
Well, it's delightful living life in the blue
But though we go to school with fishes
Eat from shells instead of dishes
We're really not so very very different from you
What's it like to be a mermaid?
Our ways are not as far apart as they seem
We comb our hair with coral
Wear a splash of ocean floral
And we eat weed
What's it like to be a mermaid?
Well, it's delightful living life in the blue
We go swimming with the tuna
In a tropical lagoona
Chasing manatee and nektons
But our folks don't understand us
When we kick up a commotion
At the bottom of the ocean
We're really not so very very different from you
Oooh, what's it like to be a mermaid?
What's it like to be a mermaid?
Oooh, what's it like to be a mermaid?
What's it like to be a mermaid?
独白：
Gosh, I just remembered. Tonight is the mermaid's ball. Oh, but I can get ready for that later. First, I've got to answer this note I've found.
