Saludo, Esperando el fin del mundo

The ephemeral world stage
of little yellow lights
Altarpiece, imaginary sky
of our poor wonder
There is another world beyond the world
another city beyond the city
where an ancient clarity
shines again
each new carnival

Larareo

The gates of heaven open
the happy hours
of a better world
A lost little angel
hung streamers
from an old lantern

Nights change owners
and the water turns
into orange blossom liqueurs
The cursed dogs
of the bacchanal
watch over all of us

Worldly
the caravan of a blue circus
Pagan
Sacred feast in the southern land

Wandering musicians
poor relatives of the god of wine
return along the roads
that were made to return

I come to die singing
with the vagabonds
who conspire at the edge of the world
to be born

I come for your songs
to soothe my soul
I come to your calm source
from night to dawn

Divine carnival princess
suburban beauty
with tears of silver wings
and iridescent laughter

I sing beside time
instant in the wind
fleeting hummingbird
simple handful of magic
swift acrobatics
that make me live

Divine carnival princess
suburban beauty
with tears of silver wings
and iridescent laughter

Carries the glow
of lanterns and lamps
like a simple blessing
Laughs
with the moon on the parapets
Heals my heart
Heals my heart

The whole neighborhood came out
to see her pass by
and touch the glow
of her shooting star

Old papers
floating on the corner
announce hugs of happiness
The La Catalina gang returns
the lights come on
in my carnival

The carnival will perform
A lost neighborhood of rags and cardboard
hanging colorful banners
In this coal sky
the truck arrived, the curtain rises
the colored chalk on a blackboard
Hold on, Catalina is back

To the neighborhood the heart
