Milonga sentimental
Homero Manzi
Sentimental Milonga
Milonga to remember you,
milonga sentimental.
Others complain crying,
I sing to avoid crying.
Your love dried up suddenly,
you never said why.
I console myself thinking
it was a woman's betrayal.
Man, to love you a lot,
man, to wish you well,
man, to forget grievances
because I already forgave you.
Maybe you'll never know,
maybe you won't believe it,
maybe it will make you laugh
to see me thrown at your feet!
It's easy to draw a knife
to avenge a betrayal,
or play with a dagger
the fate of a passion.
But it's not easy to cut
the ties of a love affair,
when they are well tied
to the pole of the heart.
Milonga that your absence made.
Milonga of evocation.
Milonga so that they never
sing it on your balcony.
For you to return with the night
and leave with the sun.
To tell you yes sometimes
or to shout no at you.
