Circus Tune - Music by Norma LaTuchie; Spanish Lyrics by Daniel Jimenez Afanador - Circus Tune

from Circus​/​O Circo by Norma LaTuchie

about

This song is dedicated to Egberto Gismonti, Brazilian composer, guitarist and pianist whose quirky artistry continues to inspire me.

In 1984-85 going through a divorce and a painful emotional recovery, I vowed to rediscover my early childhood joys that I remembered, like going to the circus... a somewhat nostalgic journey and my attempt to paint magical sounds with imagery from childhood.

lyrics

"Circus Tune" (SPANISH LYRICS)
Capturaré
un momento mas
de luz y de amor
cual niño inocente

Mágico lugar
donde el tiempo
espera

Me lanzaré
de un trapecio abismal
Recuerdos del circo
dan vueltas y vueltas
malabarismos sensación fugáz.


ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I will capture
one more moment
of light and love
like an innocent child

(In) a magical place
where time waits

I throw myself
from an abysmal trapeze
(With) Memories of the circus
going round and round
Juggling... fleeting sensation.


(PORTUGUESE Translation)
Capturará
um momento mais
luz e amor
qual criança inocente

lugar mágico
onde o tempo
espera

Eu vou jogar
um trapézio abismal
Circo Memórias
voltas e voltas
malabarismos sentido fugaz
