Ventanita de Arrabal
Carlos Gardel
Arrabal's little window
suburban window
Maybe one day I'll come back
If I can't forget you.
When your leaves are dry
Hugging me in your bars
We will start crying.
In the coffee neighborhood
In an old tenement
With brick floors,
Door lock cancel,
Where do the organs go?
Their grumbling cries,
The girl is waiting
Let that boy pass.
The one who alone
I enter the tenement
Casting in the eyes
The brown fungus.
One-piece ankle boot
The shiny neck
I asked for a guitar
And for her I sing.
The one who on a Sunday
They danced a tango,
The one who told him:
I'm dying for you...
The one whose soul
I roll for the tango, (1)
The one who is on the fence
He never came back.
parrot's window
Where there are only dried flowers,
You too abandoned
From that day...it stayed.
The dew of its leaves,
The garuas of absence
With the pain of a sigh
Your trunk is destroyed.
Gardel sings: "drag through the mud."
