Carnival

Page history last edited by Tasio Martin 6 years, 3 months ago

 Carnival

 

In a smoky tent I approached his loudness

Step by step up the long stairway

And looked into the barrel

at Evil Knievel's great grandfather

 

Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival

 

He was flying by in a silver jacket

He rode there in the barrel wall racket

Securely held by centrifugal forces

 

Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival

 

Every time he touched the edge

With a gasp I gulped the fumes in my lungs

And felt my mind exploding!

 

Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival

 

Flying through the air

With the greatest of ease

The daring young lady

In the greatest show on earth

 

The giant wheel turned in the sky

Its colors flashed in my eye

The barkers calling to me on the midway!

 

Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival

 

I held the picture in my eye

From a photo booth nearby

With a girl so lovely

I loved her dearly at the time

 

Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival

 

She had the sugar in her eyes

I was totally mesmerized

As we walked together towards the big top

 

Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival

 

Flying through the air

With the greatest of ease

The daring young lady

In the greatest show on earth

 

Aside a girl of flaming red hair

Later that day I returned there

Perhaps the devil himself had been the father?

 

Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival

 

Then we consumed the giant midway

Taking it in 'til it threw us away

Yes, we wandered among the crowds

of circus goers, circus goers

 

Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival

 

Eating fire and swallowing snakes

A potpourri of nature's mistakes

On display at the tent of the bearded ladies

 

Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival

 

Grinding through the night

With the greatest of ease

The daring young lady

In the greatest show on earth

 

We were grinding to the human beat

There was nothing safe about it

Nothing was right

and nothing was wrong on the midway

 

Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival

 

I do resent too much time was spent

In the tent of the strange

Elephant of enlightenment!

 

Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival

 

My mind was free; my thoughts were pure

How much good could a man endure

As he made his way towards the big top

 

Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival

 

Flying through the air

With the greatest of ease

The daring young lady

In the greatest show on earth

 

Grinding through the night to the human beat

There is nothing safe about it

Nothing safe about the greatest show on Earth!

 

Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival

 

Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival

 

Carnaval

 

A una carpa llena de humo me acerqué

atraído por su estrepito.

Subí peldaño a peldeño por la larga escalera

y vi en el tambor al bisabuelo del gran Evel Knievel.

 

Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval.

 

Volaba con una capa plateada

rodando sobre la rejilla de la pared del tambor

al amparo de la fuerza centrífuga.

 

Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval.

 

Cada vez que tocaba el borde,

con un grito ahogado, tragaba los vapores en mis pulmones.

¡Y sentía mi mente explotar!

 

Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval.

 

Surcaba el aire,

con la mayor naturalidad,

la valerosa joven

en el mayor espectáculo de la tierra.

 

La rueda gigante giraba en el cielo.

Sus colores brillantes atraían mi mirada.

¡Los charlatanes me llamaban desde el paseo central!

 

Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval.

 

Una visión llamó mi atención

desde un fotomatón cercano.

Era una chica tan encantadora

que me enamoré de ella al instante.

 

Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval.

 

Su dulce mirada

me tenía totalmente hipnotizado

mientras caminábamos juntos hacia la gran carpa.

 

Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval.

 

Surcaba el aire,

con la mayor naturalidad,

la valerosa joven

en el mayor espectáculo de la tierra.

 

Al lado de una chica de llameante cabello rojo.

Más tarde, ese mismo día, volví allí.

¿Tal vez el mismo diablo había sido el padre?

 

Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval.

 

Y entonces nos sumimos en el ingente paseo central.

Lo seguimos hasta que nos regurgitó.

Sí, vagamos entre la multitud

de asistentes al circo, asistentes al circo.

 

Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval.

 

Comefuegos y tragaserpientes.

Un popurrí de errores de la naturaleza

en exhibición en la tienda de las damas barbudas.

 

Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval.

 

De aquí para allá toda la noche,

con la mayor naturalidad,

la valerosa joven

en el mayor espectáculo de la tierra.

 

Deambulábamos entre la multitud.

No había nada seguro al respecto.

Nada estuvo bien

y nada estuvo mal en el paseo central.

 

Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval.

 

Me molesta haber estado demasiado tiempo

en la carpa del curioso

¡Elefante de las Luces!

 

Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval.

 

Mi mente era libre, mis pensamientos eran puros.

¿Cuánto bien podría soportar un hombre

mientras se encaminaba hacia la gran carpa?

 

Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval.

 

Surcaba el aire,

con la mayor naturalidad,

la valerosa joven

en el mayor espectáculo de la tierra.

 

Deambulábamos entre la multitud.

No había nada seguro al respecto.

Nada había seguro en el mayor espectáculo de la Tierra.

 

Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval.

 

Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval.
