Carnival License

Licencia de Carnaval

I am married and it's my fortuneSoy casado y es mi fortuna
Under the moon to carnivalBajo la luna carnavalear
Stripped of commitmentDespojado de compromiso
I have permission to danceTengo permiso para bailar

I don't need to be singleNo me hace falta ser soltero
To have fun at the carnivalPa' divertirme en el carnaval
I am married but I have achievedYo soy casado pero he logrado
All February my freedomTodo febrero mi libertad

Not for work, not for loveNi por trabajo, ni por amar
Know that I won't be thereVayan sabiendo no voy a estar
No one calls me or demands meNadie me llama ni me reclama
I have a carnival licenseTengo licencia de carnaval

I am married and it's my fortuneSoy casado y es mi fortuna
Under the moon to carnivalBajo la luna carnavalear
Stripped of commitmentDespojado de compromiso
I have permission to danceTengo permiso para bailar

I am married and it's a complimentSoy casado y es un halago
Serve me a drink to celebrateSírvame un trago pa' festejar
No one knows of my existenceNadie sabe de mi existencia
I have a carnival licenseTengo licencia de carnaval

When the charm endsCuando el encanto se termina
It's time to returnLlega el momento de regresar
And to shake off the streamersY a sacudirse la serpentina
So my lady doesn't think badlyPa' que mi negra no piense mal

I want to cry for the burialPara el entierro quiero llorar
For the unearthing it's another yearPa’l desentierro es un año más
I return home and talk to PachaYo vuelvo a casa y le hablo a la pacha
Northern party like no otherFiesta norteña no hay otra igual

I am married and it's my fortuneSoy casado y es mi fortuna
Under the moon to carnivalBajo la luna carnavalear
Stripped of commitmentDespojado de compromiso
I have permission to danceTengo permiso para bailar

I am married and it's a complimentSoy casado y es un halago
Serve me a drink to celebrateSírvame un trago pa' festejar
No one knows of my existenceNadie sabe de mi existencia
I have a carnival licenseTengo licencia de carnaval
