Juancito Caminador

Johnny Walker
Died in a distant port-
The magician
Leaves little to the dead

After his act is done
Song, dove, and deck of cards
Everything fits in a box
Everything, except the song

Put mourning on the player piano
On the little rabbit, on the star
On the little boat, on the bottle
On the big bottle, on the ball

Music from the barracks
Song, deck of cards, and dove
Field flower without scent
Everything, except the song

Put mourning on the weathervane
On the rooster, on the cuckoo clock
On the phonograph, on the blunderbuss
On the glass and on the folder

His prestidigitation
Song, dove, and deck of cards
Time humiliates and abuses
Everything, except the song

Much death to little life
Let him be buried once and for all
The queen of chess
And a poet bid him farewell

Magic trick, illusion
Song, deck of cards, and dove
That everything is taken as a joke
Everything, except the song
