Eurovision 1976 Switzerland:
Peter, Sue & Marc - "Djambo, Djambo"
Djambo, Djambo
The birds have known the old man for many years
His eyes have seen so much and look so mild
He's up at four and early every morning
He feeds them and feels happy like a child
Once he was a clown in the arena
People said the best that ever was
Now they call him good old Djambo Djambo
But in his dreams, he still hears the applause
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
Don't be sad, for you know that the show must go on
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
It was you who had us laughing, you're the one
And sometimes you can see him on the sidewalk
With little boys and girls around his feets
When Djambo Djambo plays his barrel organ
Children call it circus in the streets
Suddenly his eyes reflect emotion
In Djambo's mind, the limelight shines again
He's back on stage and all the kids are laughing
Just as if the show would never end
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
Don't be sad, for you know that the show must go on
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
It was you who had us laughing, you're the one
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
Don't be sad, for you know that the show must go on
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
It was you who had us laughing, you're the one
It was you who had uѕ lаughing, you're the one
Djambo, Djambo
Die Vögel kennen ihn seit vielen Jahren
Den alten Mann der täglich Futter bringt
Die Hände wie ein Bär und doch so zärtlich
Als wären sie von einem kleinen Kind
Als Clown war er der Liebling der Manege
Der Zirkus seine Welt und sein Zuhaus'
Man nannte ihn den grossen Djambo Djambo
Und oft hört er im Traum noch den Applaus
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
Sei nicht traurig, denn die Show, die große Show muss weitergeh'n
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
Auch wenn andre jetzt für dich im Zirkus steh'n
Die Kinder schaun ihn an mit grossen Augen
Sie steh'n um ihn herum und alles schweigt
Wenn Djambo Djambo ihnen auf der Strasse
Noch einmal ein kleines Kunststück zeigt
Dann lacht er wie in seinen besten Tagen
Als gingen wieder alle Lichter an
Als spielte die Musik genau wie damals
Wenn Nacht für Nacht die grosse Show begann
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
Sei nicht traurig, denn die Show, die große Show muss weitergeh'n
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
Auch wenn andre jetzt für dich im Zirkus steh'n
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
Sei nicht traurig, denn die Show, die große Show muss weitergeh'n
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
Auch wenn andre jetzt für dich im Zirkus steh'n
Auch wenn аndre jetzt für dich im Zirkus ѕteh'n
Djambo, Djambo
The birds have known him for many years
The old man who brings food daily
His hands are like a bear's and yet so gentle
As though they belonged to a small child
As a clown, he was the darling of the ring
The circus was his world and his home
They called him the Great Djambo Djambo
And he often still hears the applause in his dreams
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
Don't be sad, because the show, the great show must go on
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
Even if others are now standing for you in the circus
Children look at him with wide eyes
They stand around him and everything is silent
When Djambo Djambo shows them on the street
Yet another little trick
Then, he laughs like in his best days
As though all the lights were turning on again
As though the music were playing like back then
When night after night, the great show began
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
Don't be sad, because the show, the great show must go on
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
Even if others are now standing for you in the circus
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
Don't be sad, because the show, the great show must go on
Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo
Even if others are now standing for you in the circus
Even if others are now stаnding for you in the circuѕ
