Текст песни Ансамбль им. А.В.Александрова - Куплеты Мефистотеля

Satan rules the ball there

Opera S. Gounod “Faust”

1. On earth, the whole human race
A holy idol honors
He reigns over the whole universe,
That idol is a golden calf.
In tender heart
Glorifying the idol
People of different castes and countries
They dance in an endless circle
Surrounding the pedestal. } 2 times
Satan rules the ball there! } 2 times

2. That idol of all is stronger than the gods,
He denies nature
He despises the sky
And to ridicule the whole world is ready.
To please the god of gold
Edge to edge rises war
And human blood by the river
Damask steel flows through the blade ...
People are dying for metal! } 2 times
Satan rules the ball there! } 2 times
