Disfrazado

Tonight apparently, with the lights on
How harmonious the beautiful carnival presents itself!
For those who do not suffer bitterness in life
For those who have, may they never lack bread!

Walking and disguised in my suit of misery
Weakly throwing streamers of affliction
I pass through the parade of my only tragedy
Next to the crying of my children, with no relief to the heart

I think
That my face is actually
Today covered by the mask
Of fatal irony
Of my sad situation
I hear
When the ratchet sounds
That sorrow has already
Defeated my troupe
That asks God for protection

The echo of dawn brings the swaying of the cars
Of beings who happily go cheering the carnival
While it has been impossible for me to sleep during the night
Thinking to be able to get bread for my loved ones

I will continue, who knows for how long, disguised in misery
Slowly heading towards the grand official stage
And in the world of the dead my tragedies will end
Winning first prize if they celebrate carnival!

I think
That my face is actually
Today covered by the mask
Of fatal irony
Of my sad situation
I hear
When the ratchet sounds
That sorrow has already
Defeated my troupe
That asks God for protection
