Текст песни: Masquerade + перевод

The masks are worn on summer nights

When the young are dancing.

The masks are worn on summer nights

When the dance is young —

When the dance is young.

Behind her mask a princess dreams

Of some other music.

Behind her mask a princess dreams

Of some other song —

Of some other song…

Where the street musician’s music played

In the swirling night, and the sound he made

Could linger still, so slow to fade

From the dancing, prancing Masquerade

To the streets where no one seeks to ask

To see behind…

The masks which hide a thousand eyes

From others prying;

The masks which hide a thousand eyes

And all their tears —

And all their tears…

And the street musician’s music played

In the swirling night, and the sound he made

Could linger still, so slow to fade

From the dancing, prancing Masquerade

To the streets where no one seeks to ask

To see behind the masks…
