Lyrics

Be welcome to the show tonight. we're glad to have you here
Just pay attention, please, my lord, and see what's coming for you
Jugglers, acrobats, tamers, magicians, dancing on the rope, daring the death

We play with poverty and crime, the starving misery
Don't try to do this in your home. I know your mind would not stand the pain

In my world, behind all the makeup there's a face so sad
See the clown laughing at the ruin

Now, see how we dance and play, braving the threats and dangers
Avoiding the final day, deceiving until the end

Now we'll close the act. it's time to applaud

I hope you have enjoyed our show. the greatest show on earth
Sempre és bem vindo para ver nossa aventura que é o viver

Meu senhor, atrás do meu sorriso, guardo apenas dor (my lord, behind
My grin, I keep only grief)
Sou um palhaço, rir é minha sina (i am a clown, my fate is to laugh)

Nao, nunca vou desistir (no, I will never give up)
Se o sonho me leva a chorar, melhor saber fingir (if the dream makes
Me cry, it's better know how to pretend)
Rir de mim afinal (laughing at me after all)
Now, see how we stand and pray, braving the streets and dangers
Awaiting the final day, enduring until the end
