Paroles et traduction Nacha Guevara - Que Salgan los Clowns

Que Salgan los Clowns

Qué triste final para un amor.
Yo que quería triunfar, tú un soñador.
Que vengan los clowns.
No quiero llorar.

Nos separó un simple matiz.
Tú que querías un hogar, yo ser actriz.
Que vengan los clowns
A hacerme reír.

Cuando me harté de tanto fingir
Supe que sólo a tu lado podría ser feliz.
Mis palabras de amor para tí con cuidado ensayé,
A tu lado corrí y no te encontré.

Qué broma tan cruel, qué irónico error.
Quise cambiar de papel y no hallé mi actor.
Que vengan los clowns.
Que salgan los clowns.
Su turno llegó.

Qué amargo final el de esta función.
Hice mi entrada triunfal después del telón.
Que vengan los clowns.
¿Por qué no entra un clown?
Un clown, por favor.

¡Bravo por el clown!
¡Abran paso al clown!
¡Aplaudan al clown!

El clown soy yo.

Clowns Are Coming Out

What a sad ending for a love.
I who wanted to triumph, you a dreamer.
Let the clowns come out.
I don't want to cry.

We were separated by a simple difference.
You who wanted a home, me to be an actress.
Let the clowns come out
To make me laugh.

When I got tired of pretending so much
I knew that only by your side could I be happy.
Carefully, I rehearsed my words of love for you,
I ran to your side and I didn't find you.

What a cruel joke, what an ironic mistake.
I wanted to switch roles and I didn't find my actor.
Let the clowns come out.
Let the clowns come out.
Their turn has come.

What a bitter end to this performance.
I made my triumphant entrance after the curtain.
Let the clowns come out.
Why doesn't a clown come in?
A clown, please.

Bravo for the clown!
Make way for the clown!
Applaud the clown!

I am the clown.
