Lyrics

English

(Yee-ha!) (Hahaha!) (Yay!)

When they raise the tents and light the lights (Bingo!)
We will see the most amazing sights (Yes!)
First the maestro will strike up the band (Wow!)
For the finest circus in the land

Spotlights shine and people start to cheer (Hahahaha!)
Fireworks light up the sky

We're gonna see the greatest show in the world
At the circus toni-ah-ight! (Yea-!)

(song minus the last line loops twice, last line only heard on the first loop)
At the circus tonight! (Yeah!)

Kur shfaqja e cirkut fillon, dritat ndizen dhe skena ndriçon. Të ulur në rradhë të parë, pjesët më të bukura kemi për të parë. Akrobatët shfaqjen ndezin. Kafshët e tyre na magjepsin. Njerëzit bërtasin! Emocionohen pafund! Lëvizjet e tyre po na magjepsin kaq shumë! Po shohim shfaqjen më të bukur sot. Cirk si ky i yni s'ka askund në botë.
