Be welcome to the show tonight. We're glad to have you here.
|
Just pay attention, please, my lord, and see what's coming for you
|
jugglers, acrobats, tamers, magicians, dancing on the rope, daring the death.
|
|
We play with poverty and crime, the starving misery.
|
Don't try to do this in your home. I know your mind would not stand the pain.
|
|
In my world, behind all the makeup there's a face so sad.
|
See the clown laughing at the ruin.
|
|
Now, see how we dance and play, braving the threats and dangers,
|
avoiding the final day, deceiving until the end.
|
|
Now we'll close the act. It's time to applaud.
|
|
I hope you have enjoyed our show. The Greatest Show On Earth.
|
Sempre es bem vindo para ver nossa aventura que e o viver.
|
|
Meu senhor, atras do meu sorriso, guardo apenas dor (My Lord, behind
|
my grin, I keep only grief).
|
Sou um palhaco, rir e minha sina (I am a clown, my fate is to laugh).
|
|
Nao, nunca vou desistir (No, I will never give up).
|
Se o sonho me leva a chorar, melhor saber fingir (If the dream makes
|
me cry, it's better know how to pretend).
|
Rir de mim afinal (Laughing at me after all).
|
Now, see how we stand and pray, braving the streets and dangers,
|
awaiting the final day, enduring until the end.
