静场

帷幕撕开，

舞台推出大世界，

粉墨的角色纷纷登场。

龙套什么也套不住，

八千里路只一步，

找不到追灯在哪边。

紧锣密鼓之后，

司鼓的眼睛睁了一半，

帮腔的调跑得老远。

跟班的坚持跟班，

表演的照常表演，

刀光与剑影，无人喝彩。

椅子在台下很憨厚，

亮出清一色的国字脸，

戏还没演完……

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
