El Payaso De La Esquina

"Oh my love, I loved you so much, but not like this"

I imagine that sometimes you talk with your friends
about that clown
the clown who always stays on the corner
silent if they talk to him about love
the one who once gave you his affection
and you broke it to his detriment
the one who one day painted his face, stood on the corner, and swore to forget you
the one who one day painted his face, stood on the corner, and swore to forget you

Since then, I tell a thousand stories, make jokes and acrobatics
and people applaud me, they have fun with my life, the children pull me
as if I were a doll and then they throw me
like you threw me once

But they don't forget me, they don't forget me
don't deceive me like you did even though I loved you
but they don't forget me, they don't deceive me
like you did and I loved you

I change affection, change clothes, change shoes
I change the children's repertoire to confuse them (repeat)

But they don't forget me, they don't forget me
don't deceive me like you did even though I loved you
but they don't forget me, they don't deceive me
like you did and I loved you

And that's why I say "long live the children of Colombia"

The shame you left me with like a little worm
in front of that notary
made my face fall and turned me into this clown
that pale and sad face
I didn't want to have it for the rest of my life
Since then, I made up some jokes
I hid inside and drew a smile
Since then, I made up some jokes
I hid inside and drew a smile

And I still don't understand how you changed me
from one second to an instant
and you let it be
lonely in marriage
you could have sent me a note, a messenger
oh, oh, oh, telling me, go clown, I don't love you

But you didn't, you didn't
darling, and you left that clown on the corner alone
but you didn't, my love
and you left me alone there on the corner

From the corner in front of your house, I tried to change
and now the little children call me in pain, they don't know (repeat)

They don't forget you, they don't forget you
don't deceive you like you did even though I loved you
they don't forget me, they don't deceive me
like you did and I loved you (repeat)
