Character: Canio

Hope I have fed,
blinded madman
not for love -
on gratitude!
<...>
In your soul
one flaw I see
and in your heart -
there is no place for love!

- Lover I want to know the name
the fact that you hugged you
sneaky wench!
- Clown! Clown!
- No! I'm not a Clown!
Look, my face deathly pale
burning from the thirst of vengeance!
No, I'm so disgraced
something to wash away the shame I have blood,
one blood
I swear!..
No, I'm not a Clown!..
I'm a lunatic...

Play! Exactly when in my delirium I,
no words and no acts of his don't understand.
And yet I have to play!
Well, you is the man?
No, you clown!
You go and smear the face with flour.
Because people pay to laugh he wants.
And harlequin kidnap Columbine.
Laugh, Clown, and you all laughed!
You're a joke needs to hide her sobs and tears,
and under the ridiculous grimace of pain. Ah!

Laugh, Clown,
Over broken love!
Laugh and cry over your pathetic shares!
