Текст песни TODD - Смерть на балу

SOLOIST:
The old castle sparkles with lights in the night.
There streams of wine and champagne flow ...
The Royal Judge invited everyone to the ball,
For some reason, only the Judge did not call for Death.

TODD:
But does death need an invitation card?
- Not.

GUEST CHORUS:
And she stood
One
Silent and cold
And looked at the sparkle of lights -
A strange guest from the kingdom of shadows!

SOLOIST:
Having fun, sparkling with the sparkle of candles,
A dance of jesters, kings, executioners,
And the minuet sounded, and the counter-dance sounded ...
And the satyrs danced with the shepherds.

TODD:
But is death alive invited to the minuet?
-Not.

GUEST CHORUS:
And she stood
One
And how marble was pale -
Among young princesses and fairies -
A strange guest from the kingdom of shadows!

SOLOIST:
And twelve hours struck the tower.
And heard the far hoot of owls ...
And then the window swung open from the wind.
And all the candles went out, and it became dark.

They lit the light. And they saw the body of the Judge.
And a bloody leaf on his chest:
- Hundreds of times you called me to the innocent for execution,
But you forgot to invite the old woman to the ball.

TODD'S VOICE:
And I'll take you with me to the next world ...

GUEST CHORUS:
And, ringing, a string broke.
And a glass of wine crashed
The moon hid in the clouds ... And with her
A strange guest from the kingdom of shadows!

TODD'S VOICE:
And I'll take you with me to the next world ...
