El Gitano

The Gypsy

El Gitano

He has snake eyesTiene ojos de serpiente
And alligator laughterY risa de caimán
And league of demonY legua de demonio
And white hairY blanca cabellera

It has crew members dressed as PierrotsLleva tripulantes disfrazados de Pierrot
Chasing the dawn in the bathtubA perseguir la madrugada en bañadera
Carry stories in bottlesLleva historias en botellas
And his old boatY su antigua embarcación
Burning in the nightIncendiándose en la noche
Change and change crewCambia y cambia de tripulación

When it soars it is a winged birdCuando remonta es un ave alada
The entire murga is at your mercyLa murga entera esta a su merced
Between blasphemies and laughterEntre blasfemias y carcajadas
Flying with theVolando con el

He is a corsair who walks in FebruaryEs un corsario que anda en febrero
The curse of an infernal shipLa maldición de un barco infernal
The captain of a warshipEl capitán de un buque guerrero
For the carnivalPor el carnaval

It is, it is, it is the gypsyEs, es, es el gitano
I fear your silence more than your voiceYo le temo más a su silencio que a su voz
Because his calm is like cornered furyPor que su calma es como furia acorralada

He lives almost on the edge of danger for playingVive casi al filo del peligro por jugar
With the truth that is a demonic arrowCon la verdad que es flecha endemoniada

When the devil tripsCuando el diablo se tropieza
On his mysterious trainEn su misterioso tren
Look down and laughBaja la mirada y ríe
And the gypsy laughs tooY el gitano ríe también

When it soars it is a winged birdCuando remonta es un ave alada
The entire murga is at your mercyLa murga entera esta a su merced
Between blasphemies and laughterEntre blasfemias y carcajadas
Flying with theVolando con el

With his words rays of fireCon sus palabras rayos de fuego
With his indomitable sincerityCon su indomable sinceridad
With his brawling justiceCon su justicia del camorerro
Who gave his friendshipQue dio su amistad

It is, it is the gypsyEs, es el gitano

When the devil tripsCuando el diablo se tropieza
On his mysterious trainEn su misterioso tren
Look down and laughBaja la mirada y ríe
And the gypsy laughs tooY el gitano ríe también

With his words rays of fireCon sus palabras rayos de fuego
With his indomitable sincerityCon su indomable sinceridad
With his brawling justiceCon su justicia del camorerro
That God is going to look forQue Dios va a buscar

With his words rays of fireCon sus palabras rayos de fuego
With his indomitable sincerityCon su indomable sinceridad
With his brawling justiceCon su justicia del camorerro
Who gave his friendshipQue dio su amistad
