Rosas De Otoño
Carlos Gardel
Autumn Roses
You are life, sweet life
Full of charm and lucidity
You hold me and guide me
Almost at the peak of your haughtiness
You are perseverance, I am patience
You are tenderness, I am mercy
You represent independence
I symbolize freedom
You know very well, I'm sick
And on my face it is clear to see
That at night I hardly sleep
I don't sleep at all, do you know why?
Because I dream how I appreciate you
And that I will have you by my side
They are vain, clumsy and foolish dreams
But my life, what am I going to do?
I suffer a lot, my soul hurts
And my situation is so sad
That many times for seeking calm
I bring my fingers to the fretboard
Never show your contempt
Because if you do it, poor me
Always love me, don't be so mean
Come on, ungrateful, don't be like that
