Dance on the Rope
[The gypsy king:]Take Paris
Ragged vagabonds
It keeps poor dogs
Many things
Instead of murdering
As in other places
Here life is like...
A dance on the Rope
[The gypsy chorus:]
Take Paris
Ragged vagabonds
There are rules
We are bounded by them
[The gypsy king:]
Paris shows us gypsies
A few important roles too
[The gypsy chorus:]
Paris shows us gypsies
A few important roles too
[The gypsy king:]
And if we play the roles well
They leave us alone
[The gypsy chorus:]
And if we play the roles well
They leave us alone
[The gypsy king:]
The roles are: the begger
Half-starved and helpless
[two]
The street artist in turmoil
[The gypsy chorus:]
A true artist
[The gypsy king:]
Role three: the scapegoat
On this one they place the blame
For suffering and disaster
When they do not applaud us
Donate or take pity
Their bones rarely stay healthy
[The gypsy chorus (Women):]
The wire is chep
[The gypsy chorus (Men):]
The falls is deep
[The gypsy king:]
Like dancing on the rope
Take Paris, Esmeralda
The gypsy chorus:]
Take Paris before you
[The gypsy king:]
Of your dance falls
Every man in
The gypsy chorus: (Men)]
Esmeralda!
[The gypsy king:]
With your look, Esmeralda
Can you here
Be very useful to us
[Esmeralda:]
Take Paris, Esmeralda
Don't interrupt
It's not so bad here
I'll hold my mouth
Also if it is hard
I'm not gonna fight
For others anymore
[The gypsy king:]
Take care of Paris, scumbag
[Gypsies:]
Nehmt euch Paris vor.
[Esmeralda:]
Will I finally find a home here?
[All Gypsies:]
We are home here
[Esmeralda:]
I would like to stay here forever
[All Gypsies:]
We are home
[Esmeralda:]
When i get angry...
[All Gypsies:]
We are finally home
[Esmeralda:]
I will not show it
[All Gypsies:]
We are home
[All with Esmeralda:]
With charm and
Cleverness and shows
Let's balance on the straight rope
Of life
[The gypsy king:]
And goes everything fine
Then we celebrate a miracle night
[All:]
And If today everything goes fine
Then we celebrate a miracle night
[The gypsy king:]
But maybe blood flows
as usual
when you make us tinder
[All:]
No matter what you do:
Mabye it crashes
[The gypsy king:]
But whatever comes
We have to dare
Get out with you,
And take part like everybody else
[Esmeralda & Gypsies:]
We all take part
[All:]
At the dance on the rope
[Esmeralda, Gypsies & The gypsy chorus:]
Take Paris
There is a lot to give
But beware!
The Parisian life
[Esmeralda, Gypsies & The gypsy chorus:]
You must always
Balance, because
[All:]
Survival is a
Dance on the rope!
