| I am sitting on a hard chair
|
| In the world's largest theater
|
| I look and do not believe my eyes
|
| I don't believe it, but I look
|
| There is a dark scene ahead of me
|
| A great curtain overhead
|
| And the show is about to begin
|
| It starts every day
|
| Tragic comedians
|
| The same for so many years
|
| Creations will be unique
|
| Swapping roles again
|
| The one who plays the king today
|
| Until yesterday, he wore a halberd
|
| And tomorrow he will be just a jester
|
| The laws of this scene are hard
|
| Premiere after premiere
|
| There will be plenty of ideas
|
| The audience knows all their tricks
|
| Yet he craves miracles
|
| Spit an interaction after each
|
| And then the premiere again
|
| And an even bigger failure
|
| And theater does not die
|
| I am sitting on a hard chair
|
| In the world's largest theater
|
| I look and do not believe my eyes
|
| I don't believe it, but I look
|
| And next to me in the silent crowd
|
| In the shadow of this great scene
|
| The artists are quiet and real
|
| Unfulfilled artists
|
| I will not play in this theater
|
| I won't take any role
|
| And the heart, what about the heart
|
| And let it hurt there
|
| And every new season
|
| Let it be like a penance
|
| After all, one cannot get out of here
|
| So I sit chained
|
| To this place
|
| In the world's largest theater
|
| I look and do not believe my eyes
|
| I don't believe it, but I look
|
| There is a sad earth beneath me
|
| The sky is a curtain over me
|
| So I'm waiting for Director Blue
|
| He will announce the grand finale
|
| I don't believe it, but I look |
