Alla Pugacheva - Arlekino
Po ostrym iglam iarkogo ognia
Begu, begu, dorogam net kontsa.
Ogromnyj mir zamknulsia dlia menia
V areny krug i masku bez litsa.
Ia - shut, ia - Arlekin, ia - prosto smekh,
Bez imeni i, v obshchem, bez sud'by.
Kakoe, pravo, delo vam do tekh,
Nad kem prishli poveselit'sia vy?
Akh, Arlekino, Arlekino!
Nuzhno byt' smeshnym dlia vsekh!
Arlekino, Arlekino,
Est' odna nagrada - smekh.
Vykhodiat na arenu silachi,
Ne vedaia, chto v zhizni est' pechal'.
Oni podkovy gnut, kak kalachi,
I tsepi rvut dvizheniem plecha.
I rukopleshchet voskhishchennyj zal,Alla Pugacheva - Arlekino - http://motolyrics.com/alla-pugacheva/arlekino-lyrics-english-translation.html
I na arenu k nim letiat tsvety,
Dlia nikh igraet tush, goriat glaza,
A mnoiu zapolniaiut pereryv.
Akh, Arlekino, Arlekino!
Nuzhno byt' smeshnym dlia vsekh!
Arlekino, Arlekino,
Est' odna nagrada - smekh.
Smeshit' vas mne s godami vse trudnej,
Ved' ia ne shut u trona korolia.
Ia Gamleta v bezumii strastej
Kotoryj god igraiu dlia sebia.
Vse kazhetsia - vot masku ia snimu
I ehtot mir izmenitsia so mnoj,
No slez moikh ne vidno nikomu,
Nu chto zh, Arlekin ia, vidno, neplokhoj!
Kha-kha-kha, kha-kha-kha...
Alla Pugacheva - Arlekino (English translation)
Over the needles of a burning flame
I run upon the roads that have no end
The open world has nothing to show me:
A faceless mask, the arena's enclosed bend.
I'm a joker
I'm a harlequin
A Ha!
Without a name
Really without a fate.
What right, what place, what business do you have
Asking of those that you've come to berate!
"Oh, Arlekino, Arkekino, everyone must have a ball!
Arlekino, Arlekino must be funny for us all!"
And on the stage appear some burly fools
Ignorant to the sorrows of the world.
They mangle horseshoes without any tools
And metal chains they burst with one false pull.
The crowd goes wild with jubilant applauseAlla Pugacheva - Arlekino - http://motolyrics.com/alla-pugacheva/arlekino-lyrics-english-translation.html
And hurls bouquets of flowers from the back
For them the crowds go crazy without cause
And I'm an intermission's kind of act.
"Oh, Arlekino, Arkekino, everyone must have a ball!
Arlekino, Arlekino must be funny for us all!"
Over the years it's gotten pretty hard
To entertain you all from day to day.
And I'm no royal fool to take commands
Over my life I'd rather hold some sway.
I always think, "I'll part with this disguise…
And the whole world will change before my eyes…
But Arlekino, it isn't to be
There's nobody who's looking back at me!
Oh, Arlekino, Arkekino, everyone must have a ball!
Arlekino, Arlekino must be funny for you all!
Arlekino, Arkekino, everyone must have a ball!
Arlekino, Arlekino must be funny for you all!"
