El Tango de La Muerte

I have no friends
I have no loves
I have no homeland
Nor religion
I only have bitterness in my soul
And a dagger in my heart
But even so, I don't lament
Because I always have the opportunity
For my complaints, a milonga
For my sorrows, a song

What do I care about life
If no one will cry for me
The one who cried for me has died
And that death has killed me
Since then I challenge
The goldfinch and the blackbird
Who, singing better, drown
The sorrows of their pain

My milonga, don't abandon me
I want to have you always by my side
May I not lack, when I die
A milonga to sing
