Перевод песни Brian May - Il Colosso

ACT I
Chorus:
No! To tyranny
He shall not have his pleasure
For goodness shall prevail!

No! To villainy!
To save our greatest treasure
In this we cannot…

Princess:
In this we cannot fail

King:
My dearest daughter
Will no-one save her?
Half my Kingdom!

Chorus:
He offers half his Kingdom!
Will no-one dare to…

Princess:
Save me from the…

Chorus:
Colossus?

Hero:
I will!

Hero (chorus):
Now all the world is waiting (Ho!)
A maiden I must save (the world is waiting)
No time for hesitating
If only I were brave (for now is the hour)
Yes I was made the hero (Hero!)
It’s my call – that’s my cue! (All eyes on you)
It’s everything or nothing (Go!)

King:
Look out! He’s coming through

Hero:
I’ll save you princess

Giant:
PUNY PEASANTS!
MOVE OVER!!

Chorus:
Behold the Giant
We stand our ground defiant

Giant:
THE PRINCESS SHALL BE MINE!
OH YES – SHE WILL BE MINE!
Ha Ha Ha – WHO’S NEXT??!

Hero:
Hey – you up there with the b-beard!

Oh I was made of freedom
Nobody pulls my strings
And I can equal any man
In all the grown-up things

Giant:
Wooaarrgh!

Hero:
Yes I was made of mischief
They tell me I must learn
But nothing is coincidence
Whichever way I turn
And I will do or die
For I know one thing after all
The bigger any giant comes
The harder he may fall

Princess:
My hero!
He’s saved me
My hero-my-hero-my-hero-my-hero-my-hero!

Chorus:
Hail the hero

King:
At last we have a hero

Chamberlain:
Sire I’m told he is only a-a-a peasant

Chorus:
Only a peasant
He’s nothing but a peasant!

Princess:
He’s – so daring and handsome and charming

King:
But a peasant – how very alarming

Princess:
He’s so clever and brave and heroic

King:
But a peasant – they’re all Protozoic
o-y!

All together we dance and play
We’re bright and gay – a loud Hooray!
All together we greet the day

All:
Colossus is no more!
All together we celebrate
The very hills reverberate
To the heavens we elevate
The Hero we adore

Ladies:
All of a sudden the world is right
The sun is up and shining bright
All of a sudden the birds can sing
And Spring is at the door…

King and Princess:
All together in harmony
A chorus ring, a symphony
All together the Angels sing
The Giant is no more!!

ACT II
Princess:
What are we made of?

Hero:
Can we know what we will be…

Princess:
What are the chances

Hero:
I can find a better path

Princess:
The better life

Both:
The better me?

Chorus:
What are we made of

Hero:
Is it written in the sand

Princess:
Where are we sailing?

Both:
To a strange and distant land
Take my hand, sail with me

Chorus:
What are we made of?

Princess:
If you think you know the answer
Turn around

Both:
Think again

King:
CARABONZA!!!

Chorus:
A fire breathing monster

King:
Alas we are undone

Chorus:
Hail the General!

King (chorus):
He’ll make his mark indelible!
For now the chosen one
Has begun!

Stand! for justice
Stand! for honour
Stand! with courage (He will)
Stand! with valour (The hero)

Chorus:
Hail the General

King:
We’re counting on the General!!!

Chorus:
For he will dare to

King:
He must dare to

All:
He must dare to…

Chorus:
War! War!

(Fire! Fire!)

Pinocchio:
Oh I was made of
So I was made of
I am made of…?

Princess:
What are we made of?
Just for this moment
Take your life into your hands
You’ll decide what you are made of

Pinocchio:
What it is that I can be

Princess:
Think again
My friend
Turn around

Both:
Think again
