  1. Hay payasos con sonrisas de colores

    There are clowns with colorful smiles

  2. Que se ríen pa' ocultar cuánto les duele

    Who laugh to hide how much they hurt

  3. Trapecistas con corbata y de señores

    Acrobats in ties and acting like gentlemen

  4. Y bufones como plagas en la tele

    And jesters like pests on the TV

  5. En el circo lo que aburre te entretiene

    In the circus, what bores you entertains you

  6. Hay perritos dando saltos como bobos

    There are puppies jumping around like fools

  7. Y elefantes dirigiendo ministerios

    And elephants leading ministries

  8. Sicarios con simpáticos apodos

    Hitmen with charming nicknames

  9. Acróbatas de moto y cementerio

    Motorcycle acrobats and graveyards

  10. En el circo si no mata es un remedio

    In the circus, if it doesn't kill, it's a remedy

  11. Mimos sin libertad

    Cuddles without freedom

  12. El alma muere si eres marioneta

    The soul dies if you're a puppet

  13. Circo de soledad

    Circus of loneliness

  14. La crisis jubiló a otro poeta

    The crisis has retired another poet

  15. Verdades que traen trampa en la maleta

    Truths that come with traps in the suitcase

  16. Personajes que aman tanto al proletario

    Characters who love the proletariat so much

  17. Que se vuelven magos y los multiplican

    That they turn into magicians and multiply them

  18. Joroba como buenos dromedarios

    Humped like good dromedaries

  19. Pa' ocultar lo que el domingo purifican

    To hide what they purify on Sunday

  20. En el circo, si estás cerca, te salpican

    In the circus, if you're close, they splash you

  21. Siempre habrá un buen domador pa'l que se deje

    There will always be a good tamer for those who surrender

  22. Y arlequines que se presten pa' comprarlos

    And harlequins ready to be bought

  23. Está el tigre que se come al que se queje

    There's the tiger that devours the one who complains

  24. Y el caballo que acaricias pa' montarlo

    And the horse you pet to ride it

  25. En el circo al que piensa hay que asustarlo

    In the circus, those who think must be frightened

  26. Mimos sin libertad

    Mimes without freedom

  27. El alma muere si eres marioneta

    The soul dies if you're a puppet

  28. Circo de soledad

    Circus of loneliness

  29. La crisis jubiló a otro poeta

    The crisis has retired another poet

  30. El circo sobrevive con piruetas

  31. ¿Serás el tirafuego o el bufón?

    Will you be the firecracker or the jester?

  32. Quien tire los cuchillos o el faquir

    Who throws the knives or the fakir?

  33. ¿Serás el boletero o el patrón?

    Will you be the ticket seller or the boss?

  34. O el que aplaste a los otros pa' subir

    Or the one who crushes others to rise?

  35. Mimos sin libertad

    Mimes without freedom

  36. El alma muere si eres marioneta

    The soul dies if you're a puppet

  37. Circo de soledad

    Circus of solitude

  38. La crisis jubiló a otro poeta

    The crisis retired another poet

  39. Y un niño recibiendo la estafeta

    And a child receiving the baton
