Falsettoland/ About Time [Russian translation]

Homosexuals

Women with children

Short insomniacs

And a teeny tiny band

Come, back in

The welcome mat is on the floor

This story needs an ending

Father with children

One bar mitzvah that

Is scrupulously planned

Lovers fight and sing fortissimo

Give these handsome boys a hand

It's about time, don't ya think?

It's about time to grow up, don't ya think?

It's about time to grow up and face the music

It's about time

Since we last spoke

Two years are waning

I'll try explaining

Just what you've missed

We called a truce

And fitfully we coexist

I'm still loose

She's still with the psychiatrist

So I don't have a psychiatrist

Except on the Jewish holidays

But I still have my son on the weekends

Just on the weekends

And some very good friends

But I don't have a lover anymore

Oh my God

When am I gonna get over this?

When am I gonna get over this?

When am I gonna get over this?

It's about time, don't ya think

It's about time to grow up, don't ya think

It's about time to grow up and face the music

It's about time

One day I'd like to be

As mature as my son, who Is twelve and a half

And this tall!

That's all I'd like to be

That's all!

It's about growing up, getting older, living on a lover's shoulder

Learning love is not a crime

It's about time

It's about time

It's about time

It's about
