Lyrics of Siga el Corso - Carlos Gardel

Siga el Corso (original)

Esa Colombina puso en sus ojeras
Humo de la hogera de su corazon
Aquella marquesa de la risa loca
Se pinto la boca por besar a un clown
Cruza del palco hasta el coche
Serpentina nerviosa y fina
Como un pintoresco broche sobre la noche de carnaval
Te quiero conocer saber adonde vas
Alegre mascarita, que me gritas al pasar:
«Quien soy?, Adonde voy?», «Adios… Adios… Adios…»
«Yo soy la misteriosa mujercita de tu afan»
No finjas ms la voz, abajo el antifaz
Tus ojos por el corso, van buscando mi ansiedad…
Descubrete, por fin… Tu risa me hace mal
Detras de tus desvios, todo el ao es Carnaval
Esa Colombina con sonora burla
Truena la corneta de una pizpireta dama de organdi…
Y entre grito y risa, linda maragata
Jura que la mata la pasin por mi
Bajo los chuscos carteles pasan los fieles
Del dios Jocundo y le van prendiendo
Al mundo sus cascabeles el carnaval…

(translation)

That Colombina put in her dark circles
Smoke from the bonfire of his heart
That marquise with the crazy laughter
She painted her mouth for kissing a clown
Cross from the box to the car
Nervous and fine serpentine
Like a quaint brooch on carnival night
I want to meet you know where you are going
Cheerful little mask, that yells at me as you pass:
"Who am I? Where am I going?", "Goodbye... Goodbye... Goodbye..."
«I am the mysterious little woman of your afan»
Don't fake your voice anymore, lower the mask
Your eyes through the corso, are looking for my anxiety...
Discover yourself, finally... Your laugh makes me sick
Behind your detours, the whole year is Carnival
That Colombina with sonorous mockery
The cornet of a pert lady of organdi thunders…
And between scream and laugh, pretty maragata
She swears that her passion for me kills her
Under the funny posters pass the faithful
Of the jocundo god and they are igniting him
To the world its bells the carnival...
