Translation of the song lyrics Pobre Colombina - Roberto Goyeneche

Pobre Colombina (original)

La fiesta está en su apogeo,
la eterna paz se quebranta;
las mascaritas sus voces levantan,
el dios Momo canta, ríe el dios Morfeo.
La fiesta está en su apogeo,
todas son bromas y chistes;
la Colombina tan sólo está triste,
de luto se viste, no quiere cantar.
La Colombina está triste y da pena
pobrecita nena, tan linda y tan buena.
La que antes fue reina de la alegría,
sus gracias lucía y siempre reía,
no quiere cantar, no quiere reír;
tan grande es la pena que la hace sufrir,
le pide al Supremo, la deje morir.
Es que Pierrot la ha engañado,
se fue con su mandolina
siguiendo el paso de otra colombina,
de líneas más finas, de pelo ondulado.
Mas no sabe que ha dejado
un corazón dolorido
pero después volverá arrepentido
y al ver solo el nido tendrá que llorar.

Pobre Colombina (translation)

The party is in full swing
the eternal peace is broken;
the mascaritas raise their voices,
the god Momo sings, the god Morpheus laughs.
The party is in full swing
they are all jokes and jokes;
the Colombian is only sad,
she in mourning she gets dressed, she doesn't want to sing.
La Colombina is sad and she is sad
poor little girl, so pretty and so good.
The one who was once the queen of joy,
the grace of her looked and she always laughed,
she doesn't want to sing, she doesn't want to laugh;
So great is the sorrow that she makes her suffer,
she asks the Supreme, let her die.
It is that Pierrot has deceived her,
she left with her mandolin
following in the footsteps of another Colombian,
finer lines, wavy hair.
But he doesn't know that she has left
an aching heart
but later she will come back sorry
and seeing only the nest she will have to cry.
