Маски [Maski] [English translation]

And in joy of leisure and in bitter trouble,

Let each of you will be loyal to himself*.

Wear masks, wear them,

Only being under a mask

You'll be able to stay yourself !

At the behest of chance or their will,

The ignoramuses are walking around

In the masks of wise men.

And I think that each of you

Must have such a mask

In reserve.

And if a trouble happens to your friend,

It's never too late to put

The mask of compassion on your face.

Under the mask, like in fairy tale, you're invisible,

And can laugh over your friend

as much as you want.

And in joy of leisure and in bitter trouble,

Let each of you will be loyal to himself.

Wear your masks, wear them,

Only being under a mask

You'll be able to stay yourself !
