YULIA
Welcome, darling, take a seat
You've been walking tired streets
Looking for a place to stay
Well, perhaps you've found your way
Step inside and don't be shy
Leave your worries all behind
Every soul that enters here
Leaves a little different, dear
[La música crece lentamente.]
YULIA
Some call me a dream
Some call me a lie
Some call me "Julia"
(Se detiene y sonríe.)
No, darling.
[Señala al público.]
YULIA
It's Yulia.
[Violines.]
YULIA
Yulia, remember my name
Keeper of this little stage
Yulia, the lights still glow
And every story finds its role
So laugh and cry and sing along
Every heart becomes a song
Underneath these painted skies
Welcome to my paradise
[Aparecen los demás artistas alrededor.]
CORO
Yulia!
Yulia!
YULIA
Don't be frightened by the show
CORO
Yulia!
Yulia!
YULIA
Everybody has a role
[La música se vuelve más suave.]
YULIA
Lost and lonely, broken too
That's how most of us came through
Yet somehow beneath these lights
We survived our darkest nights
[Sonríe mientras extiende una mano al público.]
YULIA
So if the world should shut its door
You won't be alone anymore
[Último coro.]
TODOS
Yulia!
Yulia!
The stars may fade, the years may fly
YULIA
But the show will never die.
[Las luces se apagan.]
YULIA (susurrando)
And please...
It's Yulia.
[Telón.]
Me da mucha risa que el chiste recurrente sea que TODO el mundo la llama Julia.
