Lyrics

Español

Entre la loca alegría volvamos a darnos cita misteriosa mascarita de aquel loco Carnaval. Donde estás Cascabelito, mascarita pizpireta, tan bonita y tan coqueta con tu risa de cristal. Cascabel, Cascabelito; ríe, ríe y no llores que tu risa juvenil tenga perfumes de tus amores. Cascabel, Cascabelito; ríe, no tengas cuidado que aunque no estoy a tu lado te llevo en mi corazón. Mascarita misteriosa, por tener mi alma suspensa me ofreciste en recompensa tu boca como un clavel. Y cuando nos despedimos llenos de dulce embeleso, el ruido de nuestro beso lo apagó tu cascabel.

English · machine translation

Amidst the mad joy let's meet again mysterious little mask of that crazy Carnival. Where are you Cascabelito, you little mask, so pretty and so flirtatious, so pretty and so flirtatious with your crystal laughter. Rattlesnake, Rattlesnake; laugh, laugh and don't cry may your youthful laughter may your youthful laughter be perfumed with the perfumes of your loves. Rattlesnake, Rattlesnake laugh, don't be careful that although I am not by your side I carry you in my heart. Mysterious little mask, for keeping my soul in suspense you offered me as a reward your mouth like a carnation. And when we said goodbye filled with sweet rapture, the noise of our kiss was extinguished by your rattle.
