Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Siga el Corso by Carlos Gardel from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Esa Colombina puso en sus ojeras
That Colombina put in her dark circles
Humo de la hogera de su corazon
Smoke from the hearthogera of his heart
Aquella marquesa de la risa loca
That Marchioness of Crazy Laughter
Se pinto la boca por besar a un clown
He painted his mouth for kissing a clown
Cruza del palco hasta el coche
Cross the box to the car
Serpentina nerviosa y fina
Nervous, thin serpentine
Como un pintoresco broche sobre la noche de carnaval
As a picturesque brooch on the night of carnival
Te quiero conocer saber adonde vas
I want to know where you are going
Alegre mascarita, que me gritas al pasar
Cheerful little mask, you yell at me as you pass
'Quien soy?, Adonde voy?', 'Adios... Adios... Adios...'
'Who am I?, Where am I going?', 'Goodbye... Good bye... Goodbye...'
'Yo soy la misteriosa mujercita de tu afan'
'I am the mysterious little woman of your care'
No finjas ms la voz, abajo el antifaz
Don't fake your voice more, down with the mask
Tus ojos por el corso, van buscando mi ansiedad.
Your eyes for the Corsican, they are looking for my anxiety.
Descubrete, por fin... Tu risa me hace mal
Discover, finally... Your laughter hurts me
Detras de tus desvios, todo el ao es Carnaval
Behind your detours, the whole year is Carnival
Esa Colombina con sonora burla
That Columbian with loud mockery
Truena la corneta de una pizpireta dama de organdi.
Thunder the bugle of a pizzine organdi lady.
Y entre grito y risa, linda maragata
And between shout and laughter, beautiful maragata
Jura que la mata la pasin por mi
She swears she is killed by passion for me
Bajo los chuscos carteles pasan los fieles
Under the raunchy posters pass the faithful
Del dios Jocundo y le van prendiendo
Of the god Jocundo and they are burning him
Al mundo sus cascabeles el carnaval.
To the world their bells the carnival
