Original text with translation

The Greatest Star Of All

Andrew Lloyd Webber, Daniel Benzali

Once, you won’t remember

If you said Hollywood

Hers was the face you’d think of

Her face on every billboard

In just a single week

She’d get ten thousand letters

Men would offer

Fortunes for a bloom from her corsage

Or a few strands of her hair

Today, she’s half-forgotten

But it’s the pictures that got small

She is the greatest star of all

Then, you can’t imagine

How fans would sacrifice themselves to touch her shadow

There was a maharajah

Who hanged himself with one of her discarded stockings

She’s immortal

Caught inside that flickering light beam

Is a youth which cannot fade

Madame’s a living legend

I’ve seen so many idols fall

She is the greatest star of all

When he’d gone, I stood looking out the window for a while.

There was the ghost

of a tennis court with faded markings and a sagging net.

There was an empty

pool where Clara Bow and Fatty Arbuckle must have swum 10,000 midnights ago.

And then there was something else: the chimp’s last rites, as if she were

laying a child to rest.

Was her life really as empty as that?
