Печальный клоун [Елена] [Pechalnyi kloun] [English translation]

I know that you're excited

Because you're so afraid of anyone's tears.

Well, I'm just a clown,

Don't take me seriously.

There's no place for pity,

Tell me, what should you pity me for?

Though I have no chance,

I can still try to entertain you

I'll get entangled in the scenery

And will collapse

On the dirty sand...

Everyone around will laugh

And I'll see you face

In the first row.

I can bite the dust at your feet,

Putting my life at risk.

Still, all my antics

Are just a buffoonery.

I won't say a word

Because my part is a silent one.

After all, I am the sad clown,

My pain is amusing.

I'll get entangled in the scenery

And will fall again

On the dirty sand...

Everyone around will laugh

And I'll see you face

In the first row.

Nobody can save me

From peril now.

Applaud me

When I fall again,

Even if I feel worse,

You won't know of it.

And, should there be need for it,

I'll entertain you again...
