Рок-опера в двух заседаниях с увертюрой
Первое Заседание (This system must die)
Коммунисты:
Workers, workers of all lands unite,
All the workers from all the lands.
You unite, unite every day and night,
All the workers, make circle of hands!
Энгельс:
Oh Karl Marx, your Engels waits for you!
All communists have gathered here for you!
Маркс:
Ah gentlemen, you know why we are here.
We've not much time and such a problem here!
Все:
Let's write a Manifest - it's all we have to do.
Let's write a Manifest - it's all we have to do.
Энгельс:
Listen to that howling mob of enemies around!
Aren't you afraid of speaking here too loud?
Все:
It's dangerous! It's dangerous!
Маркс:
No wait, we need a permanent solution to our problem...
Энгельс:
We have decided to write "Manifesto
Маркс:
Of Communist Party", a program for us.
Энгельс:
We have to hurry for they may arrest us,
And still we all want for our party to last.
Маркс:
Oh we must be the leaders
Of all working people. We must tell them why
Capitalism is a trouble
So like all before it this system must die.
Like all before it this system must die.
Все:
Must die, must die, this system must die!
Маркс:
Like all before it this system must die.
Все:
Must die, must die, this system must, system must, system must die!
Бернштейн:
I don't know how to struggle.
I don't know why you want me to.
I'm a man, I'm just a man
And I've struggled so many times before
And never knew what for -
I want no more!
Маркс:
We should get the power and not wasting hours
Should expropriate till it's not too late
All the capitalists around
That is all we need!
Энгельс:
Can't you see that we are struggling
For arrival of communism?
Well I think it will be soon.
I am sure we can write with the help of Marx
A programme "Way to Communism" -
I need it so!
I love it so!
I want it so!
