Lyrics and translation Freddie Mercury - The Great Pretender (original demo)
Oh
yes,
I'm
the
great
pretender
О
да,
я
великий
притворщик,
Pretending
I'm
doing
well
Притворяюсь,
что
у
меня
всё
хорошо.
My
need
is
such,
I
pretend
too
much
Моя
потребность
так
велика,
я
слишком
много
притворяюсь.
I'm
lonely
but
no
one
can
tell
Мне
одиноко,
но
никто
не
может
понять.
Oh
yes,
I'm
the
great
pretender
О
да,
я
великий
притворщик,
Adrift
in
a
world
of
my
own
Дрейфующий
в
собственном
мире.
I
play
the
game
but
to
my
real
shame
Я
играю
в
игру,
но,
к
моему
стыду,
You've
left
me
to
dream
all
alone
Ты
оставила
меня
мечтать
в
одиночестве.
Too
real
is
this
feeling
of
make-believe
Слишком
реально
это
чувство
притворства,
Too
real
when
I
feel
what
my
heart
can't
conceal
Слишком
реально,
когда
я
чувствую
то,
что
моё
сердце
не
может
скрыть.
Oh
yes,
I'm
the
great
pretender
О
да,
я
великий
притворщик,
Just
laughing
and
gay
like
a
clown
Просто
смеюсь
и
веселюсь,
как
клоун.
I
seem
to
be
what
I'm
not,
you
see
Кажется,
я
не
тот,
кем
являюсь,
понимаешь?
I'm
wearing
my
heart
like
a
crown
Я
ношу
своё
сердце,
как
корону,
Pretending
that
you're
still
around
Притворяясь,
что
ты
всё
ещё
рядом.
Too
real
when
I
feel
what
my
heart
can't
conceal
Слишком
реально,
когда
я
чувствую
то,
что
моё
сердце
не
может
скрыть.
Oh
yes,
I'm

О

Я
ношу

корону,
Pretending
that
you're
Притворяясь,
что
ты
Pretending
that
you're
still
around
Притворяясь,
что
ты
всё
ещё
рядом.
