Текст и перевод песни Edgardo Donato - Carnaval De Mi Barrio

Carnaval De Mi Barrio

Mi barrio está de fiesta con su mejor sonrisa
Y una ternura extraña me invade el corazón.
Parece que las horas corriesen más deprisa
Y que del mismo barro brotase una canción.
La murga de purretes, desafinando un tango,
Machuca los oídos con destemplada voz...
Gorriones de mi barrio que vuelcan en el fango,
Puñados de alegría que les regala Dios.

Carnaval de mi barrio
Donde todo es amor,
Cascabeles de risas
Matizando el dolor...,
Carnaval de mi barrio,
Pedacito de sol,
Con nostalgias de luna
Y canción de farol.

La que volvió sin honra se disfrazó de apache
Y el barrio en cada puerta comenta sin cesar,
Su traje descarado, sus ojos azabache,
Y su poca vergüenza que no sabe ocultar...
El tano verdulero, tirado en la vereda,
Mastica su cachimbo, cansado de yugar;
Y en su sonrisa amarga una nostalgia enreda;

Carnival of My Neighborhood

My neighborhood is in party mode, wearing its best smile
And a strange tenderness fills my heart.
It seems like the hours are running faster than usual
And that a song is sprouting from the same clay.
The children's murga band, butchering a tango,
Grates on my ears with their out-of-tune voices...
Neighborhood sparrows that empty heaps
Of joy into the mud, a gift from God.

Carnival of my neighborhood
Where everything is love,
Cascading laughter
Softening the pain...,
Carnival of my neighborhood,
A tiny piece of sunshine,
With moonlit nostalgia
And a song of lanterns.

The dishonored woman returned, disguised as an Apache
And the neighborhood gossips incessantly at every door,
About her shameless attire, her jet-black eyes,
And the shamelessness she can't conceal...
The Italian greengrocer, sprawled on the sidewalk,
Chews on his pipe, tired from working hard;
And a bittersweet nostalgia weaves itself into his smile;
