Marionetas De Cartón Lyrics in English Los Iracundos
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Marionetas De Cartón by Los Iracundos from Spanish to English.
Somos dos marionetas que nos queremos
We are two puppets that love each other
Dos marionetas porque todo es ficción
Two puppets because everything is fiction
El destino es la mano que nos da vida
Destiny is the hand that gives us life
Y nuestro amor tan solo es una función
And our love is just a show
Hay otra marioneta que esta llorando
There's another puppet that is crying
Porque a quedado sola en un rincon
Because she's been left alone in a corner
Desde que otros piolines la traicionaron
Since other strings betrayed her
Sufre su corazón que nos es de carton
Her heart suffers that isn't cardboard
No lloren, no lloren
Don't cry, don't cry
Marionetas de carton
Cardboard puppets
Las penas del alma
The sorrows of the soul
Hacen mal al corazón
Do harm to the heart
No lloren, no lloren
Don't cry, don't cry
Marionetas de carton
Cardboard puppets
Las penas del alma
The sorrows of the soul
Hacen mal al corazón
Do harm to the heart
El público exigente que no perdona
The demanding audience that doesn't forgive
El público es la gente sin corazón
The audience is the heartless people
Que se burla de ver un dolor ajeno
That mocks seeing another's pain
Error de marioneta en la función
A puppet's mistake in the show
El escenario
The stage
