Original Broadway Cast of Rent - La Vie Boheme B [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[MAUREEN, spoken]
Are we packed?

[JOANNE, spoken]
Yes, and by next week I want you to be

[MAUREEN, spoken]
Pookie?

[JOANNE]
And you should see
They've padlocked your building
And they're rioting on Avenue B
(spoken)
Benny called the cops

[MAUREEN, spoken]
That fuck!

[JOANNE]
They don't know what they're doing
The cops are sweeping the lot
But no one's leaving
They're just sitting there mooing

[ALL]
Yeah!!!

To Dance!

[GIRL]
No way to make a living, masochism, pain, perfection
Muscle spasms, chiropractors, short careers, eating disorders!

[ALL]
Film!

[MARK]
Adventure, tedium, no family, boring locations
Dark rooms, perfect faces, egos, money, Hollywood and sleaze!

[ALL]
Music!

[ANGEL]
Food of love, emotion, mathematics, isolation
Rhythm, feeling, power, harmony, and heavy competition!

[ALL]
Anarchy!

[COLLINS & MAUREEN]
Revolution, justice, screaming for solutions
Forcing changes, risk, and danger
Making noise and making pleas!

[ALL]
To faggots, lezzies, dykes, cross dressers too!

[MAUREEN]
To me!

[MARK]
To me!

[COLLINS & ANGEL]
To me!

[ALL]
To you, and you and you, you and you
To people living with, living with, living with
Not dying from disease!

Let he among us without sin
Be the first to condemn
La vie Bohème
La vie Bohème
La vie Bohème

[MARK (COMPANY)]
Anyone out of the mainstream (La vie Bohème)
Is anyone in the mainstream? (La vie Bohème)
Anyone alive with a sex drive (La vie Bohème)
Tear down the wall, aren't we all? (La vie Bohème)
The opposite of war isn't peace...
It's creation!

[ALL]
Woooooooo!
La vie Bohème...
Viva la vie Bohème!
