It’s Always Carnival
lyrics by Emilio Fresedo
music by Osvaldo Fresedo
It’s always Carnival…
streamers swirl all around,
some are wide and some are thin,
they make us wobble, just a bit.
And when the mask is gone
from the costume that you wear
revealing your innocent face,
all year long is Carnival!
Long live the Carnival!
You always see the little lights,
you are the eternal masquerade,
you take pleasure in playing tricks.
And when the mask is gone
from the costume that you wear
revealing your innocent face,
all year long is Carnival!
Orquesta Osvaldo Fresedo, singer Roberto Ray
(Spanish original after the jump)
Siempre es carnaval
Y siempre es carnaval…
van cayendo serpentinas,
unas gruesas y otras finas
que nos hacen tambalear.
Y cuando en tu disfraz
la careta queda ausente
en tu cara de inocente,
todo el año es carnaval.
¡Y viva el carnaval!
Vos ves siempre lucecitas,
sos la eterna mascarita
que gozás con engañar.
Y cuando en tu disfraz
la careta queda ausente
en tu cara de inocente,
¡todo el año es carnaval!
