Lyrics
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
El payaso con sus muecas y su risa exagerada, nos invita, camaradas, a gozar del carnaval; no notáis en esa risa una pena disfrazada, que su cara almidonada, nos oculta una verdad. Ven payaso, yo te invito, compañero de tristezas, ven y siéntate a mi mesa si te quieres embriagar; que si tu tienes tus penas yo también tengo las mías y el champagne hace olvidar. Ríe, tu risa me contagia con la divina magia de tu gracia sin par. Bebamos mucho, bebamos porque quiero, con todo este dinero hacer mi carnaval. Lloras, payaso buen amigo. No llores que hay testigos que ignoran tu pesar; seca tu llanto y ríe con alborozo, a ver, pronto, ¡ mozo, tráigame más champagne! Yo, también, como el payaso de la triste carcajada, tengo el alma destrozada y también quiero olvidar; embriagarme de placeres en orgías desenfrenadas con mujeres alquiladas entre música y champagne. Hace uno año, justamente, era muy de madrugada, regresaba a mi morada con deseos de descansar; al llegar vi luz prendida en el cuarto de mi amada... es mejor no recordar.
English · machine translation
The clown with his grimaces and his exaggerated laughter invites us, comrades, to enjoy the carnival; don't you notice in that laughter a disguised sorrow, that his starched face, hides a truth from us. Come clown, I invite you, companion of sorrows, come and sit at my table if you want to get drunk; if you have your sorrows I have mine too and champagne makes you forget. Laugh, your laughter infects me with the divine magic of your peerless grace. Let's drink a lot, let's drink because I want to, with all this money to make my carnival. You cry, good friend clown. Don't cry, there are witnesses who ignore your grief; dry your tears and laugh with joy, let's see, soon, waiter, bring me more champagne! I, too, like the clown of the sad laughter, my soul is broken and I also want to forget; to intoxicate myself with pleasures in unbridled orgies with rented women amidst music and champagne. A year ago, exactly one year ago, it was very early in the morning, I was returning to my abode wanting to rest; when I arrived I saw a light on in my beloved's room... it is better not to remember.
