Tango Negro

I watch life and its charms go by
And I no longer feel any excitement
I only see just black things
Black is the night of my heart
That deep and rooted love
That I can't separate from my soul
That is the whole cause of all my sorrows
And that is the whole cause of all my suffering

I suffered a black betrayal
For another love she left me
So black was her soul of ice
That stained my whole life forever
Her love was a voracious hell
It burned the illusion of my being
What a black destiny, what a long road, what an abyss opens at my feet

In a café on a central avenue, she danced tango, sighed love
She was in black as she dressed and highlighted her downfall
Oh black life how I despise you, you are the cause
Of all her misfortune
Because you offered her gold in abundance
Because you painted her heart black

I suffered a black betrayal
For another love she left me
So black was her soul of ice
That stained my whole life forever
Her love was a voracious hell
It burned the illusion of my being
What a black destiny, what a long road, what a hell opens at my feet
