Milonga Para Una Niña

He who has lived in pain
Because of a bad love
Finds nothing better
Than to sing and think.
And if he was calculating
What fault he could have
When he sees that the woman
Does not know obligations
He consoles himself with songs
And forgets about love.

Second...

That's why girl I ask you
Not to hold a grudge against me
I cannot give you love
Nor can you give me forgetfulness
I know that in any carelessness
I will be thrown to the ground
And even if you offer me comfort
I cannot accept it
I can teach you to fly
But not to follow your flight.

I cannot give you
A heart that is extinguished
When the one next to it fails
There is nothing to talk about
There is a way to love
It's a way of consciousness
There is a love that is patience
And another that is just a scent
Which love can give you
Who loved your innocence?

When I see you again
We can smile at each other
I prefer to see you leave
As I saw you arrive
When you think again
That once I knew you
And not just because
I composed this song for you
It will sing in your heart
The little I gave you
