Despedida del gran Tuleque [English translation]

Carnival

God Momo deamed of you again

and the murga, wakes up divine, fleeting swallow

that will always return.

We're workers in love

who come to find the Colombina

shadow of the shadow of a corner

the night that love was closed down

Palpitating of happy songs

today we come to the nighbourhood to leave

lampposts of pretty colours

for them to shine on every hallway

redoubling hope and bravery

with daisies of love and peace

for the missing children

for the children to come

uruguayans, never again

Riding on the peace of the breeze

the murga of the smoke parts

little by little without hurry nor pause

the smoke one will always return

this murga that says and doesn't shout

this murga that won't fail

will come by the streets

dwelling in life

the smoke one will commit

Recited

Is leaving, is leaving the murga that says and doesn't shout

the murga that came and leaves

this murga for the Daisy

this murga will always return
