La Calesita
Cátulo Castillo
The Carousel
The carousel cries
From the shady corner
And makes bleed the things
That were roses one day
Waiters with tip and axe
And a girl who loved me
Tango manly and complete
More streetwise than my soul
The tango keeps crying
And in the corner it beats
With its mud pain
The carousel
Carancanfún, I dance again
And remembering a gathering
I am the ranún who at the stop
Of your starched petticoat
I shout: Carancanfún!
And the tapping
And the shining
On the pants
When by your side, thrown
I had my heart
The carousel screams
Its long tough sorrow
Date that through the sidewalk
Of Balvanera
Takes us
Let's go again, friend
So it continues
Dancing with you
Let's go because in its routine
The old corner
Is calling me
Let's go, it awaits us
With your withered skirt
This song that rolls
The carousel
(Coda)
This song that rolls
The Carousel
This song that rolls
The Carousel
