Roda Viva
Francisco, el Hombre
Merry-Go-Round
There are days when we feel
Like those who left or died
We suddenly stopped
Or was it the world that grew
We want to have an active voice
To control our destiny
But here comes the merry-go-round
And takes destiny away
We go against the current
Until we can't resist
It's on the boat's return that we feel
How much we failed to fulfill
For a long time we cultivate
The most beautiful rosebush there is
But here comes the merry-go-round
And takes the rosebush away
Merry-go-round, Ferris wheel
Whirlwind, spinning top
Time turned in an instant
In the turns of my heart
The wheel will turn, another day will dawn
Despite you, despite you
The samba, the guitar, the rosebush
One day the bonfire burned
It was all a passing illusion
That the first breeze took away
In the chest, the captive longing
Forces time to stop
But here comes the merry-go-round
And takes the longing away
Merry-go-round, Ferris wheel
Whirlwind, spinning top
Time turned in an instant
In the turns of my heart
The skirt's wheel, the girl
Doesn't want to spin anymore, no sir
I can't serenade
The samba wheel is over
We take the initiative
Guitar in the street, singing
But here comes the merry-go-round
And takes the guitar away
Merry-go-round, Ferris wheel
Whirlwind, spinning top
Time turned in an instant
In the turns of my heart
Merry-go-round, Ferris wheel
Whirlwind, spinning top
Time turned in an instant
In the turns of my heart
The wheel will turn, another day will dawn
Despite you, despite you
The wheel will turn, another day will dawn
Despite you, despite you
