Lyrics & translation
Verse
Step right up, my dear friends.
Venham todos, meus caros amigos.
See the orange on the carts.
Vejam o laranja nas carroças.
Autumn is heavy in the air.
O outono está pesado no ar.
A harvest for every lonely soul.
Uma colheita para cada alma só.
Chorus
Oh, round and hollow vegetable king!
Oh, rei vegetal redondo e oco!
The stage is just a dream.
O palco é apenas um sonho.
Under the cold October moon.
Sob a lua fria de outubro.
Sing for the spirit of pumpkins!
Cantem pelo espírito das abóboras!
Verse
The velvet curtains are far away.
As cortinas de veludo estão longe.
I have only this wooden crate.
Eu tenho apenas este caixote.
Inside the stone walls, they weep.
Dentro das paredes de pedra, choram.
Outside, I carve a wide smile.
Lá fora, eu esculpo um sorriso.
Chorus
The stage is just a dream.
O palco é apenas um sonho.
Under the cold October moon.
Sob a lua fria de outubro.
Sing for the spirit of pumpkins!
Cantem pelo espírito das abóboras!
Oh, round and hollow vegetable king!
Oh, rei vegetal redondo e oco!
Verse
Gourds waiting for a candle flame.
Morangas esperando a chama da vela.
Night falls on the opera house.
A noite cai sobre a ópera.
My voice rings through the bricks.
Minha voz ecoa pelos tijolos.
Buy a lantern for the dark.
Compre uma lanterna para a escuridão.
Chorus
Oh, round and hollow vegetable king!
Oh, rei vegetal redondo e oco!
The stage is just a dream.
O palco é apenas um sonho.
Under the cold October moon.
Sob a lua fria de outubro.
Sing for the spirit of pumpkins!
Cantem pelo espírito das abóboras!
Oh, round and hollow vegetable king!
Oh, rei vegetal redondo e oco!
