Бал Лицемеров [Bal litsemerov] [English translation]

I'm drunk yet again

But not from the wine

But from the fun, I am

Drunk

And even though I'm myself

Without any flaw,

There's still gonna be trouble - yes!

And in the trouble,

That's here

Those who come

Under the masks they always hide behind

There is going to be

Those that come,

Who want the water to flow down in their honor

Such flattery

I know

What my goal is!

Where's the show's beginning, where is its finale?

This palace is full of hypocrites

That have no limits

A string of grey wind on their faces

Chorus:

Through comedic masks, I observe people

Around one of those courtiers and know

that masquerade stars will observe from the sky

It flatters them, like a beggar is even worth a penny

With a jester's outfit,

I'm more than glad to wear

A splendid ceremony

A holy [ceremony]

It's a fool's parade

Those posers looking for some looks

Hold on, gentlemen -

It's you mate!

I know

what my goal is!

And now look at the others

So, tell me, am i funnier than them?

If masks were taken away from anyone here,

[We'd know] who the fool among us is.

Chorus:

Through comedic masks, I observe people

Around one of those courtiers and know

that masquerade stars will observe from the sky

It flatters them, like a beggar is even worth a penny
