Текст песни In Held 'Twas In I: b) Twas Teatime at the Circus (Procol Harum) с переводом

He was told he must first spend five years in contemplation. After the five

years, he was ushered into the Dalai Lama’s presence, who said, 'Well, my son,

what do you wish to know?' So the pilgrim said, 'I wish to know the meaning of

life, father.'

And the Dalai Lama smiled and said, 'Well my son, life is like a beanstalk,

isn’t it?'

Held close by that which some despise

which some call fake, and others lies

And somewhat small

for one so tall

a doubting Thomas who would be?

It’s written plain for all to see

for one who I am with no more

it’s hard at times, it’s awful raw

They say that Jesus healed the sick and helped the poor

and those unsure

believed his eyes

— a strange disguise

Still write it down, it might be read

nothing’s better left unsaid

only sometimes, still no doubt

it’s hard to see, it all works out
