El gitano [English translation]

He has snake eyes and caiman smile

demon tongue and white hair

He carries crew members dressed as pierrot

to chase the dawn in the bus

He carries stories in bottles

and his old ship

burning in the night

changes and changes of crew

When he goes up on his winged ship

the whole murga is at his mercy

among blasphemies and laughs, flying with him

he's a corsair going of february

the curse of a hellish boat

the captain of a warship

for carnival

he, he is the gypsy

I fear more his silence than his voice

because his calm is like cornered anger

he's always on the verge of danger for playing

with the truth that is a poisoned arrow

when the devil crosses him

in his mysterious train

he casts his eyes down and laughs

and the gypsy laughs too

When he goes up on his winged ship

the whole murga is at his mercy

among blasphemies and laughs, flying with him

with his words like fire rays

with his untamed sincerity

with his mafia-like justice

he gave me his friendship

he, he is the gypsy
