Arrabal Amargo
Carlos Gardel
Bitter Suburb
Bitter suburb inserted in my life
Like the sentence of a curse
Your shadows torture my hours of sleep
Your night is enclosed in my heart
With her by my side, I didn't see your sorrows
Your mud and miseries, she was my light
And now defeated, I drag my soul
Nailed to your streets like a cross
Little corner of the suburb
With the canopy of stars
I love you from your courtyard
Everything, everything lights up
When she comes back to see you
And my old honeysuckles
Are in bloom to love you
Like a passing cloud
My dreams go away, go away, never return
Don't tell anyone that you don't love me anymore
If they ask me, I'll say you'll come
And so when you return, I swear to you
The strange eyes won't be surprised
You'll see how everything
Was eagerly waiting for you
My white little house and the old rosebush
And how it relieves its sorrows again
Dressed up in celebration, my beautiful suburb
Little corner of the suburb
