Am I Blue
jag sänder er hälsningar ifrån ett folk
på andra sidan Atlanten,
emellan två kontinenter.
Ett folk som äntligen rest sej ur askan
av hundratals år av förnedring.
Ett folk som bär på ett hopp och en dröm
om att själva få skapa sin framtid.
Jag hälsar er från Nicaragua,
jag hälsar er från Nicaragua.
Kära vänner poeter som diktar
om välfärdssamhällets problem,
Where's The Orchestra?
Where's the orchestra?
Wasn't this supposed to be a musical?
Here I am in the balcony
How the hell could I have missed the overture?
I like the scenery
Even though I have absolutely no
Idea at all
What is being said
Despite the dialogue
There's the leading man
The movie star who never faced an audience
Where's the orchestra?
After all
This is my big night on the town
My introduction to the theater crowd
I assumed that the show would have a song
So I was wrong
At least I understand
All the innuendo and the irony
And I appreciate
The roles the actors played
The point the author made
And after the closing lines
And after the curtain calls
The curtain falls
On empty chairs
Where's the orchestra?
