Cast in this unlikely role, Cast in this unlikely role, Escalado para este papel inverossímil, Ill-equipped to act Ill-equipped to act Despreparado para atuar, With insufficient tact With insufficient tact Com suficiente tato, One must put up barriers One must put up barriers Um deve erguer uma barreira, To keep oneself intact To keep oneself intact Para manter-se intacto. Living in the limelight Living in the limelight Viver na Ribalta: The universal dream The universal dream O sonho universal For those who wish to seem For those who wish to seem Para aqueles que desejam dar a impressão. Those who wish to be Those who wish to be Aqueles que desejam estar lá Must put aside the alienation Must put aside the alienation Devem colocar de lado a alienação, Get on with the fascination Get on with the fascination Continuar com a fascinação, The real relation The real relation A relação real, The underlying theme The underlying theme O tema fundamental. Living in a fisheye lens Living in a fisheye lens Vivendo sob o foco de uma câmera olho de peixe, Caught in the camera eye Caught in the camera eye Pego pelo olho da câmera. I have no heart to lie I have no heart to lie Eu não tenho coração para mentir, I can't pretend a stranger I can't pretend a stranger Eu não posso fingir e tratar um estranho Is a long-awaited friend Is a long-awaited friend Como se fora um amigo há muito esperado. All the world's indeed a stage All the world's indeed a stage O mundo todo é de fato um palco, And we are merely players And we are merely players E nós meros participantes, Performers and portrayers Performers and portrayers Artistas e interpretes, Each another's audience Each another's audience Cada um o público do outro Outside the gilded cage Outside the gilded cage Fora da gaiola dourada
