Laughing Room


This is my translation of the song "Laughing Room". The music by Teodor Efimov, lyrics by David Usmanov, written in 1987.

Have you ever been in a laughing room?
Have you ever been in a laughing room?
That's where the fun,
That's where the fun,
Have you ever been in a laughing room?

Chorus:
There little seems big,
There plump seems thin,
There the heads of all - as at giants,
And hands - as at the best musicians.
There are curved mirrors as saucers,
And everyone laughs,
And everyone laughs,
And everyone laughs.

Have you ever talked with yourself there?
Have you ever talked with yourself there?
Laughing with tears,
Laughing with tears,
Have you ever talked with yourself there?
Chorus.

What if take a glimpse into yourself
as in laughing room?
What if take a glimpse into yourself
as in laughing room?
What the obstacle,
What the obstacle,
If each of us - like a laughing room.
Chorus.
