Lyrics and translation The Hollies - Clown (Stereo) [1999 Remastered]

Clown (Stereo) [1999 Remastered]

I see a clown painting his face once more
Before the show has started
He paints a smile on his face with his makeup now
Although he′s broken hearted
But the rule of the clown is simple
And the show must go on as always
People are there to laugh at him
And he mustn't let them down
He′s lost someone dear to him
And he's crying now although he doesn't show it
He gives the show of his life though he′s breaking down
Although you′d never know it
But there's something different about his smile
An unfamiliar frown
Yes there′s something different about him now
He's painted his smile on upside down

Clown (Stereo) [1999 Remastered]

Je vois un clown qui maquille son visage encore
Avant que le spectacle ne commence
Il dessine un sourire sur son visage avec son maquillage maintenant
Bien qu’il ait le cœur brisé
Mais la règle du clown est simple
Et le spectacle doit toujours continuer
Les gens sont là pour rire de lui
Et il ne doit pas les laisser tomber
Il a perdu quelqu’un de cher pour lui
Et il pleure maintenant même s’il ne le montre pas
Il donne le spectacle de sa vie même s’il s’effondre
Même si tu ne le saurais jamais
Mais il y a quelque chose de différent à propos de son sourire
Un air renfrogné inhabituel
Oui, il y a quelque chose de différent chez lui maintenant
Il a peint son sourire à l’envers
