El Payaso De La Esquina

The Clown On The Corner

El Payaso De La Esquina

"Oh my love, I loved you so much, but not like this""ay mi amor si yo te queria mucho, pero asi tampoco"

I imagine that sometimes you talk with your friendsme imagino q a veces conversas con tus amistades
about that clownsobre aquel payaso
the clown who always stays on the cornerel payaso q siempre en la esquina
silent if they talk to him about lovese queda en silencio si le hablan de amor
the one who once gave you his affectionel q un tiempo te dio su cariño
and you broke it to his detrimenty tu lo rommpiste para mal de sus males
the one who one day painted his face, stood on the corner, and swore to forget youel q un dia se pinto la cara se paro en la esquina y juro olvidarte
the one who one day painted his face, stood on the corner, and swore to forget youel q un dia se pinto la cara se paro en la esquina y juro olvidarte

Since then, I tell a thousand stories, make jokes and acrobaticsdesde entonces digo mil historias hago chistes y maromas
and people applaud me, they have fun with my life, the children pull mey la gente me aplaude se divierten con mi vida, los niños me jalan
as if I were a doll and then they throw mecomo si fuera un muñeco y luego me tiran
like you threw me oncecomo me tiraste un tiempo

But they don't forget me, they don't forget mepero no me olvidan no me olvidan
don't deceive me like you did even though I loved youno me engañan como tu lo hiciste a pesar q yo te amaba
but they don't forget me, they don't deceive mepero no me olvidan no me engañana
like you did and I loved youcomo tu lo hiciste y yo te amaba

I change affection, change clothes, change shoescambio de cariño de vestido cambio de zapatos
I change the children's repertoire to confuse them (repeat)cambio el repertorio de los niños para despistarlos (bis)

But they don't forget me, they don't forget mepero no me olvidan no me olvidan
don't deceive me like you did even though I loved youno me engañan como tu lo hiciste a pesar q yo te amaba
but they don't forget me, they don't deceive mepero no me olvidan no m engañan
like you did and I loved youcomo tu lo hiciste y yo te amaba

And that's why I say "long live the children of Colombia"y por eso es q yo digo " q vivan los niños de Colombia"

The shame you left me with like a little wormla verguenza q me hayas dejado como un gusanito
in front of that notaryfrente aquel notario
made my face fall and turned me into this clownhizo q se me cayera la cara y me convirtiera en este payaso
that pale and sad faceesa cara tan palida y trsite
I didn't want to have it for the rest of my lifeno queria tenerla para toda la vida
Since then, I made up some jokesdesde entonces me invente unos chistes
I hid inside and drew a smileme escondi en mi adentro y dibuje una risa

And I still don't understand how you changed mey aun no entiendo como me cambiaste
from one second to an instantde un segundo a un instante
and you let it bey dejaste q fuera
lonely in marriagesolitario al matrimonio
you could have sent me a note, a messengerpudiste mandarme una nota un mensajero
oh, oh, oh, telling me, go clown, I don't love youhay hay hay q me dijera ve payaso no te quiero

But you didn't, you didn'tpero no lo hiciste no lo hiciste
darling, and you left that clown on the corner alonevida mia y dejaste solo aquel payaso de la esquina
but you didn't, my lovepero no lo hicste vida mia
and you left me alone there on the cornery me dajste solo alla en la esquina

From the corner in front of your house, I tried to changede la esquina en frente de tu casa yo intente cambiarme
and now the little children call me in pain, they don't know (repeat)y ahora los niñitos me reclaman de dolor no saben(bis)
