Текст песни: The Tears Of A Clown + перевод

Now if there’s a smile on my face,

It’s only there tryin' to fool the public,

But when it comes down to foolin' you;

Now honey, that’s quite a different subject.

But don’t let my glad expression

Give you the wrong impression.

Really I’m sad.

I’m sadder than sad.

You’re gone and I’m hurtin' so bad.

Like a clown I pretend to be glad.

(chorus)

Now there’s some sad things known to man,

But ain’t too much sadder than

The tears of a clown

When there’s no one around.

Now if I appear to be carefree,

It’s only to camouflage my sadness.

In order to keep my pride I try

To cover the hurt with a show of gladness.

But don’t let my show convince you

That I’ve been happy since you

Decided to go.

Oh, I need you so.

I’m hurt and I want you to know.

(chorus)

Just like Pagliacci did,

I try to keep my sadness hid.

(aaargh! I can’t remember! I’ll come to me and I’ll send it along.)

But in my lonely room I cry

The tears of a clown
