| In a smoky tent I approached his loudness
| En una tienda llena de humo me acerqué a su sonoridad
|
| Step by step up the long stairway
| Paso a paso por la larga escalera
|
| And looked into the barrel at Evel Knievel’s greatgrandfather
| Y miró dentro del barril al bisabuelo de Evel Knievel
|
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival
| Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval
|
| He was flying by in a silver jacket
| Pasaba volando con una chaqueta plateada
|
| He rode there in the barrel wall rocket
| Cabalgó allí en el cohete de pared de barril
|
| Securely held by centrifugal forces
| Sostenido de forma segura por fuerzas centrífugas
|
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival
| Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval
|
| Every time he touched the edge
| Cada vez que tocaba el borde
|
| With the gas pipe gulp of the fumes in my lungs and melt my mind
| Con el trago de la tubería de gas de los humos en mis pulmones y derrite mi mente
|
| Exploding
| explotando
|
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival
| Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval
|
| Flying through the air
| Volando por el aire
|
| With the greatest of ease
| Con la mayor de las facilidades
|
| The daring young lady
| La joven atrevida
|
| In the greatest show on earth
| En el mayor espectáculo de la tierra
|
| The giant wheel turned in the sky
| La rueda gigante giraba en el cielo
|
| Its colors splashed in my eyes
| Sus colores salpicaron en mis ojos
|
| The barkers calling to me on the midway
| Los ladradores llamándome a mitad de camino
|
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival
| Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval
|
| I held the picture in my eye
| Sostuve la imagen en mi ojo
|
| From a photo booth near by
| Desde un fotomatón cercano
|
| With a girl so lovely
| Con una chica tan linda
|
| I loved hear dearly at the time
| Me encantó escuchar mucho en ese momento
|
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival
| Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval
|
| She had the sugar in her eyes
| Ella tenía el azúcar en sus ojos
|
| I was totally mesmerized
| estaba totalmente hipnotizado
|
| As we walked together towards the big tower
| Mientras caminábamos juntos hacia la gran torre
|
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival
| Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval
|
| Flying through the air
| Volando por el aire
|
| With the greatest of ease
| Con la mayor de las facilidades
|
| The daring young lady
| La joven atrevida
|
| In the greatest show on earth
| En el mayor espectáculo de la tierra
|
| Aside the girl of flaming red hair
| Aparte la chica de pelo rojo llameante
|
| Later that day I returned there
| Más tarde ese día volví allí
|
| Perhaps the devil himself had been the father
| Tal vez el mismo diablo había sido el padre
|
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival
| Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval
|
| Then we consumed the giant midway
| Luego consumimos el gigante a mitad de camino
|
| Taking it in 'til it threw us away
| Tomándolo hasta que nos tiró
|
| Yes, we wandered among the crowds of circus goers, circus goers
| Sí, vagamos entre la multitud de asistentes al circo, asistentes al circo
|
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival
| Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval
|
| Eating fire and swallowing snakes
| Comiendo fuego y tragando serpientes
|
| A potpourri of nature’s mistakes
| Un popurrí de errores de la naturaleza
|
| On display at the tent of the bearded ladies
| En exhibición en la tienda de las damas barbudas
|
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival
| Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval
|
| Riding through the night
| Cabalgando a través de la noche
|
| With the greatest of ease
| Con la mayor de las facilidades
|
| The daring young lady
| La joven atrevida
|
| In the greatest show on earth
| En el mayor espectáculo de la tierra
|
| We were grinding to the human beast
| Estábamos moliendo a la bestia humana
|
| There was nothing safe about it
| No había nada seguro al respecto.
|
| Nothing was right and nothing was wrong on the midway
| Nada estaba bien y nada estaba mal en la mitad del camino
|
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival
| Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval
|
| I do resent
| me molesta
|
| Too much time was spent
| Se gastó demasiado tiempo
|
| In the tent of the strange elephant of enlightenment
| En la tienda del extraño elefante de la iluminación
|
| My mind was free
| Mi mente era libre
|
| My thoughts were pure
| Mis pensamientos eran puros
|
| How much good could a man endure
| ¿Cuánto bien podría soportar un hombre
|
| As he made his way towards the big tower
| Mientras se dirigía hacia la gran torre
|
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival
| Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval, carnaval
|
| Flying through the air
| Volando por el aire
|
| With the greatest of ease
| Con la mayor de las facilidades
|
| The daring young lady

|
| Grinding through the night
| Moliendo a través de la noche
|
| To the human beat
| al latido humano
|
| There’s nothing safe about it
| No hay nada seguro al respecto
|
| Nothing safe about the greatest show on earth
