Paroles et traduction Laurika Rauch - Maskers

Maskers

Maskers, maskers wat ons almal dra
Wil graag wees wat ons voorgee
Aanvaar nie wat ons is

Oerwoud van graniet
Oerwoud van graniet
Spelers in ′n spel
Dit kan ek vertel
Poppe maar van klei
Niemand maak hul vry

Gesigte bleek soos was
Gesigte bleek soos was
As hul maar net kon sien
Oogklappe af kon haal
Dis mense wat net val
En nooit weer opstaan nie

Refrein

Mense maak my bang
Mense maak my bang
En dan wil ek wegvlug
Wil wegvlug maar waarheen
Die pad is afgeseël
Deur mense wat ook vrees

Gestaltes in die nag
Gestaltes in die nag
Waar kom hul vandaan
En waarheen wil hul gaan
Na die Maskerbal
Waar niemand weet wie's wie

Refrein

Maskers

Maskers, masks my dear one, we all wear
Want to be what we pretend
Do not accept what we are

Jungle of granite
Jungle of granite
Players in a game
This is what I can tell
Dolls but made of clay
No one sets them free

Faces pale as wax
Faces pale as wax
If they could only see
Take off their blindfolds
They are people who just fall
And never rise again

Chorus

People scare me, my dear
People scare me, my dear
And then I want to flee
Want to escape but where to
The path is sealed
By people who also fear

Figures in the night
Figures in the night
Where do they come from
And where do they want to go
To the Masquerade Ball
Where no one knows who's who

Chorus
