Mi amigo el payaso

My friend the clown

Mi amigo el payaso

Everyone laughs with big guffawsTodos ríen a muy grandes carcajadas
hearing the routine of the clown,al oír del payaso la rutina,
everyone laughstodos ríen
and he also laughs with them,y él también ríe con ellos,
while his soul is left in the bar.mientras su alma va dejando en la cantina.

In the circusEn el circo
the good friend clownel payaso buen amigo
always fulfills his mission of making people enjoycumple siempre su misión de hacer gozar
hiding behind his grotesque maskocultando tras su mascara grotesca
an uncontrollable desire to cry,un deseo incontrolable de llorar,
today my friendhoy mi amigo
the clown is very sadel payaso está muy triste
and he sinks among glasses of liquor,y se hunde entre copas de licor,
in vain he searchesbusca en vano
for the trapeze girl,a la chica del trapecio,
who stole his heart with jumps,que entre saltos le robo su corazón,
take a drink old friend I invite you,toma un trago viejo amigo yo te invito,
come with me I want to hide my pain,ven conmigo quiero ocultar mi dolor,
I go to the circus to find another clown,voy al circo a buscar otro payaso,
who laughs and doesn't suffer like me...que se ría y no sufra como yo…

hiding behind his grotesque mask,ocultando tras su mascara grotesca,
an uncontrollable desire to cry.un deseo incontrolable de llorar.
