The gods cursed crazy Rome, the city of abandoned women and cripples.
|
Here they swallow poisoned smoke, cut veins with a blade.
|
Here on holidays people go to watch how a man beats in agony,
|
How ferocious death feasts in the yellow circle of the arena.
|
Strength brings freedom, win and you will become a star, or maybe you will find peace.
|
Chorus:
|
Your enemy is in the dust, miserable and weak, a hunted beast, a wounded slave.
|
Another second and he will say: "Kill!", the finger of the emperor.
|
“Holy fate do not contradict,” the crowd howls, feels the blood.
|
Not worth the grief: neither wives, nor friends. |
The life of an emperor is the Colosseum!
|
Like dogs fighting for a bone, the doomed tear at each other's flesh.
|
There is no excitement or anger in their eyes, nothing but pain.
|
You alone did not break, did not lay down from the blows, the Lord kept you.
|
You see, Caesar descended on the sand to reward you with a will.
|
Strength brings freedom, win and you will become a star, or maybe you will find peace.
|
Chorus:
|
Your enemy is in the dust, miserable and weak, a hunted beast, a wounded slave.
|
Another second and he will say: "Kill!", the finger of the emperor.
|
“Holy fate do not contradict,” the crowd howls, feels the blood.
|
Not worth the grief: neither wives, nor friends. |
The life of an emperor is the Colosseum!
|
Your enemy is in the dust, miserable and weak, a hunted beast, a wounded slave.
|
Another second and he will say: "Kill!", the finger of the emperor.
|
“Holy fate do not contradict,” the crowd howls, feels the blood.
|
Not worth the grief: neither wives, nor friends. |
The life of an emperor is the Colosseum!
|
Remember, you remember - you were: a proud, wise leader.
|
Remember, you remember how the soldiers entered your house.
|
You met the dawn among the scorched rocks!
|
Time passed, and now, the hour of reckoning has come!
|
Bread and spectacles to the people over the edge!
|
Strength brings freedom, win!
|
Your enemy in the dust is pathetic and weak;
|
A hunted beast, a wounded slave -
|
And the sword of the gladiator knocked out sparks from the gray stones...
|
“Holy fate do not contradict,” the crowd howls, feels the blood.
|
Not worth the grief: neither wives, nor friends. |
The life of an emperor is the Colosseum!
|
Coliseum! |
