Siga El Corso

Follow the Parade

Siga El Corso

That colombina put in her dark circlesEsa colombina puso en sus ojeras
Smoke from the bonfire of her heartHumo de la hoguera de su corazón
And that marquise with the crazy laughterY aquella marquesa de la risa loca
Painted her mouth to kiss a clownSe pintó la boca por besar a un clown

She crosses from the box to the carCruza del palco hasta el coche
The nervous and delicate serpentineLa serpentina nerviosa y fina
Like a picturesque broochComo un pintoresco broche
Over the carnival nightsSobre las noches del carnaval

Tell me, who are you? Tell me, where are you going?Decime ¿quién sos vos? Decime, ¿dónde vas?
Joyful little mask that shouts at me as you pass byAlegre mascarita que me gritas al pasar
What are you doing? Do you know me? Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye¿Qué haces? ¿Me conocés? Adiós, adiós, adiós
I am the mysterious little woman you seekYo soy la misteriosa mujercita que buscás

Take off your mask, I want to know youSacate el antifaz, te quiero conocer
Your eyes wander through the parade seeking my anxietyTus ojos por el corso van buscando mi ansiedad
Your laughter affects me! Show yourself as you are¡Tu risa me hace mal! Mostrate como sos
Behind your diversions, every year is carnival!¡Detrás de tus desvíos, todo el año es carnaval!

With a mocking sound, the horn blastsCon sonora burla truena la corneta
From a lively lady in organdyDe una pizpireta dama de organdí
And amidst shouts and laughter, a Maragata jokeY entre grito y risa burla maragata
Swears that passion for me kills herJura que la mata la pasión por mí

Under the funny signsBajo los chuscos carteles
The faithful of the jolly God pass byPasan los fieles del Dios jocundo
And the carnival startsY le va prendiendo al mundo
Lighting up the world with its bellsSus cascabeles el carnaval

Tell me, who are you? Tell me, where are you going?Decime ¿quién sos vos? Decime, ¿dónde vas?
Joyful little mask that shouts at me as you pass byAlegre mascarita que me gritas al pasar
What are you doing? Do you know me? Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye¿Qué haces? ¿Me conocés? Adiós, adiós, adiós
I am the mysterious little woman you seekYo soy la misteriosa mujercita que buscás

Take off your mask, I want to know youSacate el antifaz, te quiero conocer
Your eyes wander through the parade seeking my anxietyTus ojos por el corso van buscando mi ansiedad
Your laughter affects me! Show yourself as you are¡Tu risa me hace mal! Mostrate como sos
Behind your diversions, every year is carnival!¡Detrás de tus desvíos, todo el año es carnaval!
