Lyrics
Español
Tenía aquella casa no sé qué suave encanto en la belleza humilde del patio colonial cubierto en el verano por el florido manto que hilaban las glicinas, la parra y el rosal... ¡Si me parece verte! La pollerita corta, sobre un banco empinadas las puntas de tus pies, los bucles despeinados y contemplando absorta los títeres que hablaban, inglés, ruso y francés. -¡Arriba, doña Rosa!... ¡Don Pánfilo, ligero!... Y aquel titiritero de voz aguardentosa nos daba la función. Tos ojos se extasiaban: aquellas marionetas saltaban y bailaban prendiendo en tu alma inquieta la cálida emoción... Los años de la infancia risueña ya pasaron camino del olvido; los títeres también. Piropos y promesas tu oído acariciaron... te fuiste de tu casa, no se supo con quién. Allá entre bastidores, ridículo y mezquino, claudica el decorado sencillo de tu hogar... Y tu, en el proscenio de un frívolo destino, ¡sos frágil marioneta que baila sin cesar!
English · machine translation
I don't know what soft charm that house had in the humble beauty of the colonial courtyard covered in the summer by the flowery mantle spun by the wisteria, the grapevine and the rose bush... I think I see you! The short pollerita, on a steep bench the tips of your feet, your tousled curls, and gazing absorbedly the puppets that spoke, English, Russian and French. -Up, Doña Rosa!.... Don Pánfilo, light!... And that puppeteer with a piercing voice gave us the show. Our eyes were ecstatic: those puppets jumped and danced igniting in your restless soul the warm emotion... The years of the laughing childhood have passed by on the road to oblivion; so did the puppets. Pyrotechnics and promises caressed your ear... you left home, it was not known with whom. Backstage there, ridiculous and petty, the simple scenery of your home is giving way... And you, on the proscenium of a frivolous destiny.., you are a fragile puppet that dances without ceasing!
