Gotas de Veneno

I'd like a tango made of tenderness
That some dark eyes would make me forget
Eyes that always follow me through life
And don't leave me even to dream
With her red lips and violet circles
She easily poisoned my existence
Leaving my mother and my girlfriend
I started the gray path of my pain

I've tasted the wine that numbs the soul
I too was a tough guy
My life didn't have a single ray
Of calm that would light up
The sky of my heart
Today I die in the shadow of what was yesterday
Sadly living in illusion
Only she placed on my daydreams
The sad moan that the bandoneon gives

But in this life, happiness ends
And my sorrows will soon dissipate
If the rose dies, the thorn breaks
My good friends will forget me
Only the memory will remain indelible
Clung to the past in a tenacious way
Of the one who one day poured her venom
Into the pure source of my naivety
