El Payaso Carambola [English translation]

The clown Carambola

In the middle of his show

He was warned that to his dog

something bad happened

He left him tied

And the lions ate him

And the clown said anyway:

"The show must go on"

The clown Carambola

In the middle of his show

He was warned that to his wife

something bad happened

The mean woman scaped

With the midget Pildorita

And the clown said anyway:

"The show must go on"

The clown Carambola

In the middle of his show

He was warned that to his daughter

something bad happened

An elephant squashed her

And she died in that instant

And the clown said anyway:

"The show must go on"

The clown Carambola

After ending his show

He hanged himself and died

Without knowing all was a lie

From the clown Escarbadiente

Who was the substitute in the circus

And who now is heard screaming:

"The show must go on"
