帷幕撕開，

舞臺推出大世界，

粉墨的角色紛紛登場。

龍套什么也套不住，

八千里路只一步，

找不到追燈在哪邊。

緊鑼密鼓之后，

司鼓的眼睛睜了一半，

幫腔的調跑得老遠。

跟班的堅持跟班，

表演的照常表演，

刀光與劍影，無人喝彩。

椅子在臺下很憨厚，

亮出清一色的國字臉，

戲還沒演完……

INTERVAL

The curtain cracks on the stage

A big world rolls in

With all its painted roles

The walk ons are never on

Eight thousand li moves only one step

Lights won't follow the performers

After heavy gongs and drums

The drummer's eyelids droop

The accompaniments are out of tune

The sidekicks stick to their kick

The performers still perform

But no bravos are heard for the clashes of swords

The chairs off the stage have the same royal faces

Like the character “country” in Chinese

The show will go on
