Текст пісні
I smile at the lords while I carry the weight
And silently pray for a different fate
I nod at the king and I swallow the pride
Concealing the hollow sensation inside
The endless debates are a river of gray
Just washing the spark of my spirit away
But under the cloak I am slipping the door
To step on the wood of the publican's floor
I trade the champagne for a ruby red rum
And leave all the courtiers boring and numb
The tavern is loud and the fire is bright
Releasing my soul to the rhythm of night
The velvet is heavy, the corset is tight
But here in the corner I step to the light
The dancing awakens the blood in my veins
The singing is breaking my elegant chains
The laughter of friends is a fire in the dark
Returning the glow to my vanishing spark
I drink the spiced wine to a beautiful truth
And find in the tavern the joy of my youth!
The nobles are talking of borders and gold
While I am just listening to stories of old
The premium spirits are sweet on the tongue
Reminding my heart what it means to be young
The scandalous rumors and terrible jokes
Are better than dining with arrogant folks
We spin on the tables and shatter the glass
Forgetting the rules of the privileged class
A beggar can sing with the voice of a king
And no one is judging the magic they bring
The rhythm is fast and the melody free
And here in the shadows I finally see
The velvet is heavy, the corset is tight
But here in the corner I step to the light
The dancing awakens the blood in my veins
The singing is breaking my elegant chains
The laughter of friends is a fire in the dark
Returning the glow to my vanishing spark
I drink the spiced wine to a beautiful truth
And find in the tavern the joy of my youth!
The morning will come with the duties and ties
And force me to put on the elegant lies
But keeping this memory safe in my chest
