Perfume Del Carnaval

I'm going alone with my luck
I'll carry it in my memory
Under an old carob tree
A handkerchief cut through the air
Dancing an old zamba
I gave her my dreams

The sun burned in the afternoon
Silhouettes that seemed
Yellowish ghosts
Full of dirt and life
And I surrendered to your eyes
Feeling that you loved me

Oh, carnival perfume
I will never forget you
Her skin carried the scent
Of flowers and wet earth
Beautiful memories that I always
Keep within my soul

There are times where they have stayed
Where I have lost my dreams
Who knows if she remembers
An old February
And that dance in the field
And my true love

I didn't want to tell her anything
I loved her silently that afternoon
And on her black braids
I left my heartfelt song
I left taking her eyes
On an Ash Wednesday

Oh, carnival perfume
I will never forget you
Her skin carried the scent
Of flowers and wet earth
Beautiful memories that I always
Keep within my soul
