La Muchacha del Circo

The Girl from the Circus

La Muchacha del Circo

I’m the girl from the circus.Yo soy la muchacha del circo.
For a coin, I’ll givePor una moneda yo doy
A bit of humble beauty,un poco de humilde belleza,
A touch of warm emotion.un poco de tibia emoción.
I’m the girl from the circus.Yo soy la muchacha del circo.
Down these roads, I roam,Por esos caminos yo voy,
Tight in my silk bodysuit,ceñida en mi malla de seda,
Handing out to everyonerepartiendo a todos
Flowers of hope.flores de ilusión.

Hanging from the fragile trapeze,Colgada del fragil trapecio
Her graceful body seems, when she leaps,su cuerpo elegante parece, al saltar,
Like a white dove that to the sky,una paloma blanca que al cielo,
With wild longing, wants to fly.con ansia loca, quisiera llegar.
While the crowd,Mientras la gente,
Excited,emocionada,
Watches anxiously her death-defying act,contempla inquieta su salto mortal,
Under the tentbajo la lona
Of the old circus,del viejo circo,
A chill of death is felt passing through.un frio de muerte se siente cruzar.

There goes the girl from the circus;Ahi va la muchacha del circo;
She finds no comfort or love,no encuentra consuelo ni amor,
Gives happiness to othersregala a otros la dicha
And suffers misery and pain.y sufre miseria y dolor.
Finally, one night, her hand,Por fin, una noche, la mano,
Tired, loosened from the trapezecansada, al trapecio aflojo
And... poor girl from the circus!y... pobre muchacha del circo!
Searching for applause,buscando un aplauso
She found death.la muerte encontro.
