Lyrics

Español

Nada más que tus ojos castaños en un año perdido y marchito. Nada más que un rondín pequeñito y un pequeño poema en menor. Nada más que un afán de distancia en tu infancia feliz de novela y tu trenza rebelde y tu espuela. Nada más, nada más, nada más. Carrousel, van rodando cansados tus colores pintados a mano, con su tibia ilusión de verano y sus vanos recuerdos de ayer. Carrousel, organito gastado, musiquita de todos los días. Por qué quieres volverme al pasado si el pasado no quiere volver. Un osito de trompa manchada en tu almohada de nieve y de raso. Y un recuerdo siguiendo tus pasos en la tarde que quiere llover. Nada más que un ayer sin memoria, en tu historia lejana y trigueña y tu risa campana pequeña. Nada más, nada más, nada más.

English · machine translation

Nothing but your brown eyes in a lost and withered year. Nothing more than a tiny little rondin and a small poem in minor. Nothing more than a longing for distance in your happy novel childhood and your rebellious braid and your spur. Nothing more, nothing more, nothing more. Carrousel, your hand-painted colors roll by your hand-painted colors with their warm summer illusion and their vain memories of yesterday. Carrousel, worn-out little organ, little music of every day. Why do you want to take me back to the past if the past doesn't want to return. A little bear with a spotted trunk on your pillow of snow and satin. And a memory following in your footsteps in the afternoon that wants to rain. Nothing but a yesterday without memory, in your distant and dark-haired history and your small bell laughter. Nothing more, nothing more, nothing more.
