La Terrible Canción Nº 1
Manuel García Lyrics

Como un payaso desnuda a su esposa en la carpa
Comparing to a clown undressing his wife in the tent, revealing something private and forbidden, something that should not be seen by others.

Todos se han ido el circo acabó la función
Everyone has left, everything is over, and the show has ended.

Me llueve sangre de cristo en la cara
Feeling like being punished or suffering, as if blood from Jesus Christ is raining down on the face.

Quiero ponerme a gritar
Feeling so overwhelmed with emotion that the person wants to scream and let it all out.

Me besa muerto la novia me abraza
The image of a lifeless girlfriend kissing and hugging the person, as if death has taken over their relationship.

Flor de un amor funeral
A flower representing the love that has died or ended, perhaps like those seen at funerals.

El día termina mi madre cerró las cortinas
The day is coming to a close, and the mother has closed the curtains, signaling a sense of finality or closure.

Pero adivino la lluvia en las calles vacías
Even though it is not seen or heard, the person can sense the presence of rain in the empty streets.

Lava mi madre la ropa y se acuesta
The mother is taking care of household chores before going to bed, perhaps representing the mundane and routine nature of life.

Yo escucho su corazón
Listening to the mother's heartbeat, as if trying to connect with her while she is still alive and present.

Siento una mano en un sueño lejano
Feeling a touch or presence from a distant dream, as if the person is searching for something that they can't quite remember.

Quiero ponerme a llorar
Feeling a sense of overwhelming sadness and wanting to cry.

Late, llueve
Establishing a sense of repetition and routine, as if the rain and the heart are constantly beating and falling.

Prendo la radio los Beatles tocan mi canción
Turning on the radio and hearing a song that is personal and meaningful, like the Beatles playing a song that is special to the person.

Es de una niña que un día John Lennon amó
The song is about a girl that John Lennon once loved, representing a connection to something or someone from the past.

Yo quisé un día a la niña y se ha ido
The person used to love this girl, but she has since left or moved on, representing a sense of loss and unfulfilled longing.

Nunca entendí que pasó
Feeling confused or uncertain about what happened with the girl, like there are unanswered questions and unresolved feelings.

Me regaló una medalla de plata
Receiving a gift from the girl, like a silver medal, that represents a memory or token of their relationship.

Y me mordió el corazón
Feeling like the gift from the girl is also a painful reminder of what was lost, like a bite on the heart.

El día comienza mi madre corrió las cortinas
A new day has begun and the mother has opened the curtains, signaling a new beginning or a fresh start.

Todos se instala en el circo empezó la función
Everyone is gathering at the circus as the show begins, representing the start of a new event or journey.

Dicen mi nombre y salgo al escenario
Hearing one's name being called and going out onto the stage, ready to take on a new challenge or perform in front of others.

Siento una mano en un sueño lejano
Feeling a mysterious touch or presence from a far-off dream, representing a connection to something unknown or intangible.

Y me sangro el corazón
Feeling a sense of pain or hurt in the heart, like a metaphorical bleeding, perhaps due to the uncertainty and complexity of life.
