Lyrics
De purreta soñabas con un cielo
bordado en diez baldosas de rayuela
y el sol te iba pintando rulos de oro
que entonces fue champán de tu inocencia.

Después, tus veinte abriles noveleros
se rindieron al son de un tango amargo,
y en un carmín cortejo de malvones
desangraba su pena el arrabal.

Y hoy no mirás atrás,
porque en tu risa cruel
cien noches sin final
hieren tu boca.
Por eso te aturdís
con música y champán,
buscando destrozar
tu vida loca.

Carmín,
siempre está el sitio que dejaste ayer.
Carmín,
siempre hay dos manos que rogando están.
Ya es tiempo de llorar
con llanto de malvón,
con lágrimas de fe,
Carmín volvé.

Que te importa dejar tu mundo nuevo,
tu mundo, con fronteras de egoísmo,
si la moneda vil que te arrojaron
la fuiste a recoger en el abismo.
Ayer, tenías el sol en tu rayuela
alumbrando tu vida simple y pura
y hoy, que tenés la pista iluminada,
está a oscuras tu pobre corazón.
English translation
When you were a child you dreamed of a sky
embroidered in ten hopscotch tiles
and the sun was painting you golden curls
which was then the champagne of your innocence.

Later, your twenty years of novels
surrendered to the sound of a bitter tango,
and in a carmine procession of malvones
the suburb bled its sorrow.

And today you do not look back
because in your cruel laughter
a hundred endless nights
wound your mouth.
That's why you daze yourself
with music and champagne
seeking to shatter
your crazy life.

Carmine,
there's always the place you left yesterday.
Carmine,
there are always two hands begging.
It's time to cry
with tears of mallow,
with tears of faith,
Carmín come back.

What do you care to leave your new world,
your world, with borders of selfishness,
if the vile coin that was thrown to you
you went to pick it up in the abyss.
Yesterday, you had the sun in your hopscotch
illuminating your simple and pure life
and today, you have the track illuminated,
your poor heart is in darkness.
