Colombina

In the tumult of the Momo hussarsEn el tumulto de los húsares de Momo
Dazzled by the lights of another neighborhoodEncandilado por las luces de otro barrio
That murguista saluting with his hatAquel murguista saludando con su gorro
He said goodbye to the stage as alwaysSe despedía como siempre del tablado

Among the cloud of painted childrenEntre la nube de pintados chiquilines
He saw the smile that a princess sentVio la sonrisa que enviaba una princesa
Among the faces of mixed colorsEntre los rostros de mezclados colorines
He doubted if the kindness was for himDudó si era para él la gentileza

And just in case he bowedY por si acaso dedicó una reverencia
To the girl who stayed at nightA la muchacha que en la noche se quedaba
At the moment of splitting the bathtubEn el momento de partir la bañadera
Flying a kiss landed on his windowVolando un beso se posaba en su ventana

And step by step anxiety hurt himY paso a paso la ansiedad lo malhería
There was little left of the night itineraryQuedaba poco del nocturno itinerario
One after another the cuplés followed one anotherUno tras otro los cuplés se sucedían
They withdrew from the last stageSe retiraban del último escenario

He threw the costume on the back of the seatTiró el disfraz en el respaldo del asiento
He erased the remains of paint with his handBorró los restos de pintura con su mano
Flying a bin he carried it against the windVolando un tacho lo llevaba contra el viento
He saw her right at the exit of the stageLa vio justito a la salida del tablado

How are you doing, said the murguista to the girl.Cómo te va, dijo el murguista a la muchacha
That cut him off with his indifferent lookQue lo cortó con su mirada indiferente
He said "Fine" and left it as if nothing had happened.Le dijo "Bien" y lo dejó como si nada
AgainNuevamente
The princessLa princesa
He got lost among the peopleSe perdía entre la gente

May the echo of the drums never go outQue no se apague nunca el eco de los bombos
Don't let them take the dolls from the stageQue no se lleven los muñecos del tablado
I want to live in the reign of God MomoQuiero vivir en el reinado del Dios Momo
I want to be a hussar of your devilish armyQuiero ser húsar de su ejército endiablado

Don't let the yellow light bulbs go offQue no se apaguen las bombitas amarillas
May the withdrawal never go away againQue no se vaya nunca más la retirada
I want to sing a song to ColombinaQuiero cantarle una canción a Colombina
I want to take your drawn smileQuiero llevarme su sonrisa dibujada
