Rigoni-Schoenherz - Who Is Victor? lyrics

His mother had chosen this name for him 'cause she wanted that he would always win above whom or what she has already forgotten. His house had got wheel his town a lot of name his country no borders his childhood was like an endless adventure and he had been found ev'rywhere. Inside the empty circus ring at the ropes of the trapeze at the stables and in the cage of the surly old lion Rex. He played with the dwarfs and admired the giants the tamer and the man who breaks the chains the head of the circus with his husky voice. (But above all there was something more.) At the top of the tent the flying men like golden birds he could look at them for hours and hours could hardly await the day when he could become one of them. The clock of his childhood had no face time pa**ed by on the wing once he came to a place there were kids on a playground built with concrete. He took them home showed them full of pride his own world of magic in the early night when they had to leave they were sad 'cause he could stay. This had been his life up to the day when he joyfull came to his father to say his only wish was to become a flying man. His father said to him seriously "you'll become a clown like me you'll stay with your feet on the ground when you're older you will understand." And right on that day Victor was grown up now he makes the people laugh and clap til now noone notice that his own laugh's fading more from day to day.
