La Cara Pintada (part. Araca La Cana)

The painted face
Like a rainbow, has many carnivals and today he leaves
The time has come to depart
The rest of old age has arrived

Today the veteran
With his face painted in the colors of February says goodbye
The murga embraces his song
The farewell of his voice

The stars shine
And eyes shine with emotion
And the neighborhood has come
And the people have come to see his farewell

And there, in the front row
There is a kid dreaming of a song
Dreaming of being a murguista
Just like his father
The one who never unpainted his face

And the painted face
Looks at him from inside
And goes off lyric
And invites him to come up

Come kid, sing with your dad
The one from the murga, the one who is leaving
The one who leaves you his place

Come, that carnival never dies
Come, kid, that I'm leaving
But you're here to fight

Come, kid, bring your youth
We need your song
For the family's future

Come, kid, sing with your dad (come, kid, sing with your dad)
Come, that I take off my makeup for you (come, that I take off my makeup for you)
Come (come, come, come)
You are the voice
Of the Uruguay (of the Uruguay, of the Uruguay)

And the kid, trembling
Climbs onto the stage and stands on the side of love
Thunderous applause flies
A life flies between the two of them

The painted face
Slowly lifts its emotion
And the hand seeks
The cheek full of color

And unpaints his face
As if he were unpainting his heart
And he paints the kid
With four red fingers
And leaves, wiping away a large tear

And that painted kid
Follows him from behind
And from his soul comes forth
The voice that says

Come, dad, sing with your kid
Come, there is never a goodbye
Come, there is people, there is a future

Come, your place is always here
We can never forget
Veterans like you

Come, I'll follow your song
We need your warmth
Alongside the popular murga

Come, dad, sing with your kid (come, dad, sing with your kid)
Come, I'm painted by your age (come, I'm painted by your age)
Come (come, come, come)
It's the two of us
The Uruguay (the Uruguay, the Uruguay, the Uruguay)
