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

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

Auch wenn аndre jetzt für dich im Zirkus ѕteh'n
