lyrics

The crazy acrobat is not afraid of death

and makes fun of fate.

The crazy acrobat went to bed at dawn

and smoked too much with his friend, the clown.

Blindfolded and without a net he will make the trip

not trusting his soul without a business to keep

on a greasy wire under the great wild storm

and the watchful eye of vultures.

Greasy wire, great wild storm, watchful eye.

The crazy acrobat doesn’t drink to forget

He doesn’t have much life memories

The crazy acrobat is very brave

He has courage and bad luck

Today is gonna be a great day, today he will get his chance

He will wear his best costumes and will show the best of his smiles

on a greasy wire, under the great wild storm

and the watchful eye of vultures.

Greasy wire, great wild storm, watchful eye.

He must take the first step, don’t doubt.

He has to start with the left foot.

He has to find the right impulse

with the right strength

and then never look down.

Look ahead to the end.

And pushed by the drum roll

and the popular clamor

his eyes begin to mourn

– Think no more! –

He tells his friend, the clown

ninety meters to the ground

the taste of metal in his mouth.

The crazy acrobat sleeping on the street,

He has enough balance to survive.

The crazy acrobat, endless dreams

in a life of a circus star.

Blindfolded and without a net, he will make the trip,

he will wear his best costumesand will show the best of his smiles.

On a shiny wire

under the great circus tent

and the fearful eye of children.

Shiny wire, circus tent, fearful eye.
