Chess Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

DOMAREN
Jag är vald till högsta domare
Qui ne dit mot consent
La parole est d'argent et le silence est d'or
Den som rår - det är jag

Jag vill understryka först som sist
qui s'y frotte s'y pique

Jag kan inte tolerera en turnering som
handlar om - politique

Jag vill se schack
ädel kamp
utan intriger
och övertramp
Ett spel som genomsyras av esprit

KÖR
Inspirerat av bildning och fantasi

DOMAREN
Jag vill se schack
som en gest
för fred och vänskap
i öst och väst
Ett spel som trotsar tiden tyranni

DOMAREN OCH KÖR
och besegrar fördumningens barbari

KÖR
Som representant för domarkåren
ser vi en veteran: Jean Jacques van Boren
Stormästar'n ifrån Sovjetunionen
tävlar mot USA:s Champion om tronen

DOMAREN
Il y a un commencement à tout
Jag vill ha discipline
Men jag överser ibland ifall
ett fel begås
Pas de rose sans épines

Döma rättvist är min ambition
C'est mon mot de le fin
Och vi tävlar i en anda som är
sund och frisk
Qui ne risque rien n'a rien!

A truly bizarre performance. From the revised orchestrations to the vocal choices and the movement - it’s a million miles removed from Tom Jobe’s showstopping turn in the original London Cast Yet somehow it’s as compelling. I ‘hate it’ but I can’t look away!
