Brindis por Pierrot [English translation]

They haven't seen Molina1

Who no longer comes to the bar

Where is La Gran Muñeca 2

That doesn't frequents the boulevard?

This night is of memories

This cheer is for Pierrot 3

You'll be back Mario Benitez

with your Linea Maginot2

What's been of the argentinians

Occupying the Liberaij?4

What will say La Nueva Ola5

Soaked in champagne?

This night is of memories

This cheer is for La Union 6

There you are Martincorena7

Listening to this song

I'm leaving

Like many others left

That memory disguised them as saints

And their history became illusion

I discover

The bitter aftertaste

That neither the best score

Could mark my voice

They're leaving

Like many others left

The carnival gave them its cape

His figure becomes a song

They left

Blowing footlights

Tonight I have no sorrows

However I'm the one who cries

They don't remember La Bruta8

With Pianito in his place9

I don't forget the Ñato

Imitating Dogomar10

This night is of memories

This cheer is for Pierrot

There are few sabaleros left11

Leaning on the counter

I'm seeing you Benitez12

In the El Ring pages13

Let alone Picho Lopez

Laying by the Casin table14

This night is of memories

This cheer is for Zelmar 15

They haven't seen Molina

Who no longer comes to the bar

I'm leaving

I'm leaving, I'm still leaving

Tonight time looked the other way

They gave me an advantage in the glass

I'm taking

As a clumsy whim

The hope hidden in my heart

That the devil have mercy of me

They're leaving

They're leaving, They're still leaving

The wind shake them downhill

Like leaves of an autumnal dream

I raise

My glass just in case

Sometimes luck helps me

Nobody knocks on the hall door

Listen to the singing clown

So many sorrows in his throat

With his liquor glass

Alone

Tonight I have no grave

However I'm the one who sings

Look at the street Pierrot

A faithful partner of the night

In his cheek a tear

Shines

He had to spend the life

All alone with his heart

(Recited) "They send you to the pitch without even asking you if you want to get in.

And to make matters worse, as a goalkeeper; a whole life covering holes.

And if in one of those you're too good, they throw themselves to the floor and they award a penalty kick "

Listen to the singing clown

So many sorrows in his throat

With his liquor glass

Alone

Tonight he doesn't wear his clothes

However they call him Pierrot

Look at the street Pierrot...

(Final improvised recited by Canario Luna)

"Haven't you Viruta, seen the boys? They say I'm going alone,

They know nothing...

They don't know that beside me there's always el niño Calatrava, 16

Raviol, who died a while ago.

Alone yes...alone but living my life, enjoying it..."

Listen to the singing clown...
