Lyrics

Español

Esa Colombina puso en sus ojeras humo de la hoguera de su corazón... Aquella marquesa de la risa loca se pintó la boca por besar a un clown. Cruza del palco hasta el coche la serpentina nerviosa y fina; como un pintoresco broche sobre la noche del Carnaval. Decime quién sos vos, decime dónde vas, alegre mascarita que me gritas al pasar: '-¿Qué hacés? ¿Me conocés? Adiós... Adiós... Adiós... ¡Yo soy la misteriosa mujercita que buscás!' -¡Sacate el antifaz! ¡Te quiero conocer! Tus ojos, por el corso, va buscando mi ansiedad. ¡Tu risa me hace mal! Mostrate como sos. ¡Detrás de tus desvíos todo el año es Carnaval! Con sonora burla truena la corneta de una pizpireta dama de organdí. Y entre grito y risa, linda maragata, jura que la mata la pasión por mí. Bajo los chuscos carteles pasan los fieles del dios jocundo y le va prendiendo al mundo sus cascabeles el Carnaval.

English · machine translation

That Colombina put in her dark circles smoke from the bonfire of her heart... That marquise of the crazy laughter painted her mouth for kissing a clown. She crosses from the stage to the car the serpentine nervous and fine; like a picturesque brooch on the night of Carnival. Tell me who you are, tell me where you're going, merry little mask that you shout at me as you pass by: '-What are you doing? Do you know me? Farewell... Farewell... Goodbye, goodbye... I am the mysterious little woman you're looking for!' -Take off your mask! I want to meet you! Your eyes, through the corso, are searching for my anxiety. Your laughter makes me sick! Show yourself as you are. Behind your deviations the whole year is Carnival! With loud mockery thunders the bugle of a pizpireta lady in organdy. And between shouting and laughing pretty maragata, she swears that she is killed passion for me. Under the funny posters the faithful pass by of the jocund god and the Carnival is setting the world on fire its rattles the Carnival.
