Send in the Clowns

Música compuesta por Sondhein para "A little night music" en 1973, en la que Desiré concluye el segundo acto de dicha obra, mientras lamenta los altibajos que tuvo durante su vida. El título, algo así como "Que entren los payasos" hace alusión al mundo del circo. Siempre que había alguna tragedia durante el espetáculo mientras se solventaba el tema los payasos entraban en escena para levantar el ánimo del personal. Magnífica interpretación nos brindó Glenn Close de esta canción. ¡Brava!

Isn't it rich, aren't we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns

Isn't it bliss, don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around
One who can't move
Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns

Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines no one is there

Don't you love farce? My fault I hear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry my dear but where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns, quick send in the clowns

Isn't it rich, isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career
And where are the clowns? Quick send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here
