Title: Carmensita
Translated Title: Carmensita
Oh, when you turned red for the first time
with your banana-shaped beard
and full of whale (?)
leaned over the sun
oh, your red-light ray
kissing each other's mouth
the kiss that blows you
it tastes like Pampero
oh, your three lunar eyes
extraterrestrial
they come in when you go out
that's the reason why we don't see them
oh, your colored beard, naughty and rebel
I shave with a sword
but it makes me sick
yes, the night pursues you
surrender to it
or tell it you have an headache
shadow of reflection
give me something tender
just like your love
and I won't give a damn about anything
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
my first victory
hi, Bernardo...
oh, your colored eyes
they're blue and orangish
yellow, green and brown
my love covered by your heart
do not release it please
we're an elephant and a snake so similar
drinking eau-de-vie*
in the sun
from a flower...
* aguardiente: clear brandy distilled from fermented fruit juice
