Siga El Corso

Follow the Parade

Siga El Corso

That columbine put dark circles under her eyesEsa colombina puso en sus ojeras
Smoke from the bonfire of his heartHumo de la hogera de su corazón
And that marchioness with the crazy laughY aquella marquesa de la risa loca
She painted her mouth for kissing a clownSe pinto la boca por besar a un clown

Cross from the box to the carCruza del palco hasta el coche
The nervous and fine serpentineLa serpentina nerviosa y fina
As a picturesque brooch on the carnival nightComo un pintoresco broche sobre la noche del carnaval
I want to know you, know where you are goingTe quiero conocer saber a dónde vas

Happy little mask, you shout at me as you pass byAlegre mascarita, que me gritas al pasar
What are you doing? Do you know me? Bye, bye, bye¿Qué hacés? ¿Me conocés?, adiós, adiós, adiós
I am the mysterious little woman of your desireYo soy la misteriosa mujercita de tu afan

Don't fake your voice anymore, take down the maskNo finjas más la voz, abajo el antifaz
Your eyes, along the corso, are looking for my anxietyTus ojos por el corso, van buscando mi ansiedad
Your laughter hurts me, show me how you areTu risa me hace mal, mostrame como sos
Behind your deviations, the whole year is carnivalDetras de tus desvios, todo el año es carnaval

With loud mockeryCon sonora burla
The bugle of a perky organdy lady soundsSuena la corneta de una pizpireta dama de organdi
And between laughter and mockery, beautiful MaragataY entre risa y burla linda maragata
She swears that her passion for me is killing herJura que la mata la pasión por mi

Under the funny posters the faithful pass byBajo los chuscos carteles pasan los fieles
Of the joyful God and they are setting him on fireDel Dios jocundo y le van prendiendo
To the world its bells the carnivalAl mundo sus cascabeles el carnaval
