lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen
Today is Sunday and tonight,
Under the magic tent, you will see…
Marvellous animals coming far from here
…and special music such as Cassandra’s sons & the Bastards Band
I have to say…
Welcome to the circus!

Children, have you ever seen
A girl as lion
Who with her bear
Deceives the tamer in the cage?

Please, attention to the clown
He offers a bit of cake
before he stamps it on his face
somebody flies inside the tent

Behind mountains, Macondo streets
wait for caravans to the world of walking dreams

Flights and smiles and the cannonball.
Freaks are business, is our life the real one?

Applaud me, Applaud me, Applaud me,
The tent will cover us tonight
Applaud me, Applaud me, Applaud me,
When the lights and sound go off

Applaud me with my animals,
Fancy trapezers and clowns.
Gathering at Jumbo’s home
come to enjoy the show (bis 2)

+ Bridge + Refrain

Parents have you ever been
beside the dancers
who with their feet
..... Crowd's.......

The costumes are our clothes
The mask is our face
and our roots come with the tent
the won't stop at any place
