ad astra
"Americana, muestra las piernas mi sol,
Latina y sana, yo quiero pasar por vos,
bendita pluma que oh, la creación inspiras, pelea mi tierra la canción que alegre al corazón."

I heard this song a few months ago, and it’s been stuck in my head ever since. There’s something about it that I really like…it’s like strangely sad or something…I don’t know. Anyways here’s my attempt at a translation of the lyrics.
Fernando Milagros - Carnaval
You left with the Carnaval
That arrived with the summer
To me it looked like a hurricane
That tore you to pieces
Pieces of you incrusted in me
Pieces of me, thrown out along the road
You wanted to stay and play
You had sand in your hands
Building castles of salt
You used to call me your vassal
You left with the hurricane
And left for the Kingdom of Maggots
If you’d like I’ll stop by and pick you up
I live on the street over there
