Cometa de la Farola [English translation]

Come on, it's blowing twisted

Don't let it fall

Sewing and painting

how pretty it is

Pulling and pulling

how pretty it goes

Mop skirts setting the beat

Light canes that know to fly

Give more string it reaches the sun

Kite of La Farola1

Girl of Parque Rodó

Sewing and painting

how pretty it is

Pulling and pulling

how pretty it goes

It grew angry in the southern wind

Painted of violet in some blue sky

Give more string it reaches the sun

Pull and pull and climb with the kite

My love is gone

Pull and pull and rise

And I go to the clouds

Pull and pull and climb with the violet

My love is gone

Pull and pull and rise

And I go to the clouds

The murga of the Ghost Train

Winning drums and cymbals

Sewing and painting

how pretty it is

Pulling and pulling

how pretty it goes

Mop skirts setting the beat

Light canes that know to fly

Give more string it reaches the sun
